New details of the rumored Samsung Galaxy Smart Tag 2 have surfaced. The device, which recently passed through regulatory bodies like the Bluetooth SIG, the FCC, and Thailand’s NBTC, appears to be on the brink of its official launch, with speculations suggesting an October release.

Samsung Galaxy Smart Tag 2’s new images

While an exact launch date remains is not known yet, UK retailer MobileFun has provided insights that it will debut soon. Leaked official-looking renders released by the UK retailer showcase the Smart Tag 2 in two sleek color options, such as black and white. These color variants have been listed with respective part numbers, such as EI-T5600BBEGEU and EI-T5600BWEGEU. These images align with earlier leaks, confirming that the device has undergone a complete redesign compared to its predecessor.

Rumors suggest that the South Korean tech giant has taken a bold step forward by integrating ultra-wideband (UWB) support into the Smart Tag 2 by default. This technology could enhance location accuracy and enable seamless integration with the Android Find My Device network, catering to a broader user base. Notably, unlike its predecessor, every Galaxy SmartTag 2 is expected to feature both Bluetooth and UWB connectivity, erasing the need for split variants.

MobileFun lists pre-order pricing for individual Smart Tag 2 units at £42.99 (~$54). However, it may not be as per Samsung’s official pricing strategy, which is expected to vary from region to region. For context, the original SmartTag entered the market with a price tag of $29.99 in the US.

What sets the Smart Tag 2 apart is its potential to revolutionize personal item tracking. By leveraging the SmartThings Find app, users can attach the device to belongings and monitor their whereabouts in real-time. The device’s redesigned form factor not only improves its utility but could also pave the way for third-party accessory manufacturers to explore creative attachments and enhancements.

The Smart Tag 2 is expected to have the ability to create virtual perimeters. Users can designate safe zones, receiving notifications on their mobile devices whenever the SmartTag 2 ventures beyond these boundaries. This functionality adds an extra layer of security for users looking to keep their valuables within a specific area.

With the leaked information pointing towards an October launch, it’s possible that this unveiling could coincide with other Samsung releases, such as the Galaxy Tab S9 FE series and the Galaxy S23 FE.

The Samsung Galaxy SmartTag 2 launch might just be right around the corner. A new certification listing has hinted that the successor to the company’s first Bluetooth smart tracker could be announced soon.

Samsung Galaxy SmartTag 2 Specs

For those unaware, the South Korean tech giant unveiled the first Galaxy SmartTag back in 2021. Now, the brand is finally planning on releasing the next-gen model after two years. Earlier this month, we reported on the upcoming Galaxy SmartTag 2 live photos being revealed via an FCC listing. A couple of days prior, another report claimed that Samsung’s new Bluetooth smart tracker will be launching later this year alongside the Galaxy Buds 3 TWS.

This time, the Galaxy SmartTag 2 surfaced on the NBTC certification platform carrying the model number EI-T5600. Furthermore, the listing also reveals that the smart tracker will support USB technology (ultra wide band). Based on earlier reports, the feature will be paired with Galaxy SmartTag 2’s Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity support. This marks a major upgrade over its predecessor, which lacked UWB support.

Although, the company did launch a refreshed Galaxy SmartTag+ model that supported this technology. Unfortunately, the NBTC listing does hint at its near launch but does not reveal any finer details regarding its specifications and pricing. So stick around for more as we will be providing updates when additional information is available regarding this matter.

The Samsung Galaxy Smart Tag 2 has gotten Bluetooth SIG certification. The Smart Tag 2 comes with Bluetooth 5.3 support and it could be released as early as this month. Its release could coincide with the July Galaxy Unpacked event. The Bluetooth 5.3 support is an improvement over its predecessor, the Smart Tag which supported Bluetooth 5.2. This will improve power consumption, overall device performance, and an enhanced user experience.

The Galaxy Smart Tag 2 is the first iteration of the Samsung Galaxy SmartTag. The gadget had been a subject of a rumor back in April hinting that Samsung was working on the product. It was even speculated at that time that the gadget will be unveiled at the Unpacked event.

The latest listing of the Galaxy Smart Tag 2 on Bluetooth SIG points to the likely possibility of the gadget being launched this month. Although the Bluetooth SIG listing of the Smart Tag 2 provided scanty details, a few things are already known about the device. A previous leak has provided details that the new Smart Tag 2 will come with improvements across several aspects including the wireless range, enhanced security, and a longer-lasting battery.

Samsung’s scheduled Galaxy Unpacked event will see the launch of some of Samsung’s premium offerings of 2023. These could be signposted by the unveiling of the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Z Flip 5 flagships. There are still aspects of the launch event that are yet to be clarified. Samsung has not provided any pricing details for the upcoming Smart Tag 2.
