Samsung announced the Galaxy Tab S12+ and S12 Ultra alongside the Galaxy SmartTag 3 in late September 2026. Both tablets and the tracker were scheduled to go on sale in South Korea on October 7. Samsung’s U.S. announcement listed the tablets for U.S. availability from that date, while the sources available here don’t specify a complete international rollout for the SmartTag 3.

These figures are manufacturer-reported specifications cited in launch coverage, not independent battery-test results. Samsung’s global announcement also says both tablets come with an S Pen.

What’s confirmed about SmartTag 3
Samsung described the SmartTag 3 as smaller and lighter than its predecessor and announced cross-operating-system support. A Korean launch report says battery life can reach up to 800 days. The available information doesn’t provide enough detail to verify specific iOS compatibility conditions, normal-mode battery life, attachment requirements or a complete international launch schedule.

Announcement date: September 29 or 30?
Samsung’s global and U.S. newsroom releases are dated September 30, 2026. A Samsung archive search listing shows September 29 for the tablet announcement, so the available records don’t point to one consistent date across every listing.
