Early leaks regarding Samsung's next-generation item tracker, the Galaxy SmartTag 3, suggest the tech giant may be looking closely at Apple's AirTag for design cues. However, that inspiration might not be entirely welcome for fans hoping for purely practical improvements.

According to a report from 9to5Google, the upcoming accessory appears to borrow one of the more frustrating elements associated with Apple's tracking device. While previous iterations of the SmartTag stood out for their utilitarian form factor, this reported change could mark a shift toward a more divisive design approach.

Samsung has yet to officially confirm details, release timing, or hardware changes for the Galaxy SmartTag 3, meaning the final retail product could still differ from early findings. For full details and the complete breakdown of the leaked design, check the original coverage on 9to5Google.
