The tracker is 35% smaller and 33% lighter than the previous model. One trade-off is that it no longer has a built-in attachment loop: Samsung offers separately sold Silicone Case and Loop Case accessories for attaching it to items such as keys or bags.

Where and when the devices are available
Samsung announced the tablets for October 7 availability in South Korea, the U.S., the U.K., Germany, India and Japan.
33 The SmartTag 3’s Korean launch also began October 7, but its international schedule differs: Samsung says it will reach Canada later in 2026, with additional markets to follow in 2027. Some media reports put the U.S. launch in November; that timing is reported rather than specified in Samsung’s cited Canada availability notice.
