Samsung Galaxy SmartTag 3 Shrinks Device, Expands to iPhone Users and Pet Monitoring
Developing story first seen 15 seconds ago
Samsung has released the Galaxy SmartTag 3, a significantly smaller Bluetooth tracker that extends its appeal beyond traditional item location. The new generation is 35% smaller than its predecessor while offering improved battery endurance, and crucially, it now works with iPhones, allowing cross-platform tracking information to be shared with family and friends. The device integrates with Samsung's Galaxy Find Network to deliver reliable location services.
Beyond basic item tracking, the SmartTag 3 introduces pet-focused monitoring capabilities through the SmartThings app, enabling users to track their pet's location, physical activity levels, and sleep patterns. However, the tag is limited in scope compared to dedicated pet health trackers—it does not capture vital signs such as heart rate or blood oxygen levels, making it primarily a movement and location solution rather than a comprehensive health monitor.
- 35% smaller form factor with extended battery life and first-time iPhone compatibility for cross-device tracking
- New pet monitoring features track location, activity, and sleep via SmartThings app
- Does not include health metrics like heart rate or oxygen monitoring
