Samsung Galaxy SmartTag 3 Debuts: Price, Launch Date, Specifications and Features

Samsung has officially introduced the Samsung Galaxy SmartTag 3, its latest smart tracker designed to help users locate everyday belongings such as keys, bags, luggage and other valuable items. The third-generation Galaxy SmartTag brings a significantly smaller and lighter design, longer battery life, improved precision finding and, importantly, expanded compatibility that now includes iPhones.

Samsung announced the Galaxy SmartTag3 on September 30, 2026. In the United States, Samsung says the tracker will become available by early November 2026, priced at $29.99 for a single SmartTag3 and $99.99 for a four-pack. It will be offered in Black and White.

For users searching for Samsung Galaxy SmartTag 3 debut specs, Samsung Galaxy SmartTag price, Samsung Tag 3, or Samsung Galaxy SmartTag uses, here is everything you need to know about Samsung’s newest tracking accessory.

Samsung Galaxy SmartTag 3 Specifications at a Glance

Samsung's official product information confirms Bluetooth LE 6, UWB, a replaceable CR2032 battery, IP67 protection and a 9.15g body measuring 31 × 31 × 8.2mm.

Samsung Galaxy SmartTag 3 Launch Date

The Samsung Galaxy SmartTag 3 launch was officially announced on September 30, 2026. Samsung confirmed that US sales are scheduled to begin by early November 2026.

Availability dates can vary by country. Samsung's US announcement specifically confirms early-November availability for the United States, so buyers in markets such as India should check their regional Samsung store for local availability rather than assuming the US date applies worldwide.

Samsung Galaxy SmartTag Price

The official Samsung Galaxy SmartTag price in the US starts at $29.99.

A four-pack costs $99.99, making the per-tag cost lower for users who want to track several items such as keys, backpacks and luggage. Samsung is offering the new tracker in Black and White.

Samsung has not provided a universal worldwide price because pricing and release schedules vary between markets.

Smaller and Lighter New Design

One of the biggest changes to the Samsung Tag 3 is its physical design.

Samsung says the Galaxy SmartTag3 is approximately 35% smaller by volume and 33% lighter than the previous generation.

The tracker measures just 31 × 31 × 8.2mm and weighs 9.15 grams. This compact size should make it easier to attach the tracker to belongings without adding much bulk.

That makes it suitable for everyday objects including keys, bags and luggage.

Up to 790 Days of Battery Life

Battery life is another major part of the Samsung Galaxy SmartTag 3 specifications.

Samsung rates the SmartTag3 for up to 550 days of normal battery life. Turning on Power Saving Mode can extend this figure to as much as 790 days.

The tracker uses a replaceable CR2032 coin-cell battery, meaning owners do not have to throw away the tracker once the original battery reaches the end of its life.

Actual battery longevity can naturally vary depending on usage patterns and settings.

Bluetooth 6.0 and UWB Precision Finding

Finding something on a map is useful, but locating it once you are nearby is equally important. Samsung has upgraded this part of the experience with Bluetooth and Ultra-Wideband technology.

The Galaxy SmartTag 3 supports:

• Bluetooth LE 6 with a range of up to 120 metres

• Bluetooth 6.0 Channel Sounding with a range of up to 60 metres

• UWB precision finding with a range of up to 20 metres

Samsung's enhanced Compass View combines technologies such as UWB and Bluetooth Channel Sounding to provide compatible devices with distance and directional guidance toward a lost SmartTag.

This can be especially useful when you know your bag or keys are somewhere nearby but cannot immediately see them.

Galaxy Find Network

When the SmartTag is outside your phone's direct Bluetooth range, the Galaxy Find Network becomes particularly important.

Nearby participating Galaxy devices can help update a lost SmartTag's location, allowing its owner to see the location through Samsung's tracking ecosystem.

Samsung says SmartTag3 also delivers faster location updates through the Galaxy Find Network compared with the previous experience.

Location information is encrypted as part of Samsung's privacy protections.

Samsung Galaxy SmartTag 3 Now Supports iPhone

One of the most significant changes with this generation is cross-OS support.

Samsung's official specifications list compatibility with Galaxy smartphones and tablets running Android 12 or later, as well as iPhones running iOS 17 or later. The SmartThings app is required.

However, not every precision-finding feature is available on every device. Samsung notes that Compass View requires a compatible Galaxy device supporting UWB or Bluetooth 6.0 Channel Sounding.

So while iPhone support significantly expands the usefulness of SmartTag3, the complete experience can still depend on the phone being used.

Enhanced Compass View

Enhanced Compass View is one of the headline Samsung Galaxy SmartTag 3 features.

When a lost item is nearby, the feature can provide information about its distance and direction, helping users physically navigate toward the tag.

Samsung combines Bluetooth 6.0 Channel Sounding and UWB for more precise nearby finding on supported Galaxy devices.

If the item still cannot be spotted after getting close, users can activate Ring Your Tag, causing the SmartTag3's built-in buzzer to make a sound.
