Exclusive: Samsung will introduce a new design for the Galaxy SmartTag 3

We recently revealed that Samsung is working on two completely new types of Galaxy Buds and published their designs. Now, we have discovered that Samsung is also developing a next-generation Galaxy SmartTag. It will likely be called the Galaxy SmartTag 3 and could feature a new design.

Based on our findings, the Galaxy SmartTag 3 appears to have a squircle shape. It matches the design of One UI icons and Samsung’s newer smartwatches, including the Galaxy Watch 9. In comparison, the first-generation Galaxy SmartTag had a rounded-square design, while the Galaxy SmartTag 2 had a pill-shaped design.

Unfortunately, the Galaxy SmartTag 3 does not appear to have a built-in lanyard hole, so you may need to spend more money to buy a separate case to attach it to your keys or other objects.

It also appears to have a visible button in the center, similar to the company’s first Galaxy SmartTag. Pressing the button could help you find a connected Galaxy phone, while double-pressing it could trigger an automation you have set up using Modes & Routines.

As usual, we expect the Galaxy SmartTag 3 to feature Bluetooth, UWB, an IP67 or IP68 rating for dust and water resistance, and Samsung Find integration. Hopefully, it will use Bluetooth 6.0, which could improve location-tracking accuracy. It remains to be seen whether Samsung can improve battery life compared to previous models.

The Galaxy SmartTag 3 could be announced before the end of this year, likely alongside the Galaxy S26 FE and Galaxy Tab S12 series.
