This topic is a leak: Samsung is preparing to launch SmartTag 3 alongside the Galaxy S26 FE, appeared on TechRadar.

New leaks indicate that Samsung is preparing to launch the new generation of its tracking device, SmartTag 3, in conjunction with the highly anticipated announcement of the Galaxy S26 FE.

This comes three years after the launch of SmartTag 2, which received positive reviews due to its integration with the SmartThings Find network, allowing users to easily locate their belongings through Galaxy phones.

The current version's most notable feature is its long battery life, ranging from 500 to 700 days using a replaceable CR2032 battery, along with its design featuring an integrated slot for attaching it to keys or personal items.

However, the device has some limitations, primarily that it is only compatible with Samsung Galaxy phones, making it incompatible with iPhone or most other Android devices.

Moreover, its tracking network is smaller than Apple's Find My network as it relies solely on nearby Galaxy devices, which may result in less accurate updates in areas where Samsung phones are not widely used. Additionally, the device uses Bluetooth 5.3, which is now considered outdated compared to newer versions.

The well-known leaker Roland Quandt hinted at the imminent launch of a successor to the device, likely named SmartTag 3, without revealing any additional details about its specifications.

Despite the lack of official information, these leaks raise expectations that the new release may address some shortcomings in the previous generation.

The launch date for the Galaxy S26 FE is still undecided. Some reports indicate it could be announced during the Galaxy Unpacked event on July 22, while other reports predict its arrival between September and October, which is the usual time for FE-class phone launches.
