Samsung Galaxy Smart Tag images surface

The Samsung Galaxy Tag is expected to launch along with the upcoming Galaxy S21 series on January 14. And now, images of the smart tracker have surfaced as it got certified by Taiwan's NCC. The photos only show the Galaxy Smart Tag in Black, but it's expected to come in an Oatmeal (a.k.a. white) colour. It looks similar to Tile's line of smart trackers, with its diamond-like shape and a small hole up top for lanyards or key chains. 

The listing doesn't reveal the Galaxy Smart Tag's features. But other certifying authorities noted that it would use a replaceable 3V button cell battery and support Bluetooth 5.1 connectivity. It is rumoured to cost between €15 and 20 (around CA$23 and $31).

Samsung Galaxy Smart Tag's design shown in new leak

We already know Samsung is working on a new smart tracker, the aptly named Galaxy Smart Tag. A new report gives us a better look at what it will look like. A GIF of the Galaxy Smart Tag was spotted in the APK file of the SmartThings app. It shows a rounded square design with tapered edges. It's a familiar look from trackers of other brands.

There's a ring shape at the centre and a hole at the top that might be for looping a lanyard or keychain through. The animation shows the tracking/Bluetooth function of the Galaxy Smart Tag. And as we've seen in previous leaks, we see the Black and White (Oatmeal) colours. The Galaxy Smart Tag is expected to be unveiled alongside the Galaxy S21 series.
