Leak Suggests Samsung Will Release Galaxy SmartTag 3 With S26 FE

Confirmation would pressure Samsung to add Ultra Wideband or newer Bluetooth to improve SmartThings Find's reach.

Overview

  • Multiple Android outlets reported a mid-July 2026 Bluesky post from leaker Roland Quandt saying a Galaxy SmartTag 3 is likely to launch with the Galaxy S26 FE in the September–October window, but Samsung has not confirmed the product.
  • Public information is limited to the device name and a tentative timeframe with no verified specs, images, pricing, or official announcement available.
  • Reporters and analysts expect the SmartTag 3 to include newer connectivity such as Ultra Wideband or updated Bluetooth because the SmartTag 2 still uses Bluetooth Low Energy v5.3.
  • The tracker’s usefulness depends on Samsung’s SmartThings Find network, which currently has fewer participating devices than Apple’s Find My and would need broader device support to match rivals.
  • If Samsung times the tracker to a Fan Edition phone launch it could boost retail visibility and bundles for shoppers, and a refreshed SmartTag could directly affect how reliably Galaxy users locate lost items.
