Recently, live images of the Samsung Galaxy SmartTag were leaked via Taiwan's National Communications Commission (NCC) website. It showed a small black Tile-looking device that has the Samsung branding one side. It is said to come with Bluetooth v5.1, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), and Ultra Wideband (UWB) for locating Galaxy devices. The Galaxy SmartTag is rumoured to come in Black and Oatmeal colour options and may have a button that will help find a connected phone when pressed. The tracker is also rumoured to carry a price tag of EUR 15 (roughly Rs. 1,300).
