Samsung’s next-generation item tracker, Galaxy SmartTag 3, has emerged in images leaked ahead of its official unveiling. The images show the rounded, nearly square design and two color options indicated in earlier renders. Samsung introduced the first Galaxy SmartTag model in 2021 and the second generation in 2023. While the third generation is expected to have a more compact and minimalist appearance, the wide attachment loop on the previous model is being removed. The SmartTag 2 featured a metal-reinforced loop that allowed it to be attached to keychains and bags; the SmartTag 3 may require a separate case. At the center of the device is a physical button with a metallic appearance and the Samsung logo. The functions of the button in the new generation are unknown, as it offered different functions on previous models; Samsung has not yet disclosed the technical specifications.
Why it matters
These changes could affect how users who are accustomed to attaching the device directly to items such as keys or bags use it; whether a separate case will be required will be a decisive factor in terms of practical cost and ease of carrying. The simpler body brings accessory compatibility and differences in everyday use to the fore, rather than appearance, for those considering switching from the previous generation. However, because the available information is limited to leaked images, the product’s dimensions, battery status, connectivity capabilities and compatibility with the existing ecosystem cannot be assessed. The technical specifications not disclosed by Samsung and the function of the button at the center leave unclear what actual usage advantages the device will offer compared with the previous generation. Therefore, while the images provide a clue about the design direction, they do not provide comprehensive information to support a purchasing decision.
