Summary

  • One UI code points to a redesigned Galaxy SmartTag 3 with a heavily rounded-square body and an LED ring that can glow green.
  • The ring could provide pairing and button-press feedback and make the tracker easier to spot at night, though Samsung has not disclosed other new features.
  • The new shape appears more compact than the current model but drops the built-in keychain opening, likely pushing users to buy a separate case like AirTag owners do.
  • A September debut alongside the Galaxy S26 FE is rumored, with speculation the tracker could add Bluetooth 6.0 to improve range and location precision.
  • Samsung's $17 SmartTag 2 already offers 500-day battery life, IP67 water resistance and UWB-based directional finding, setting the baseline for any upgrade.
