Galaxy SmartTag 3 at $20 makes a compelling case to skip the Google Pixel Tag

Barely a week after its launch, Samsung’s Galaxy SmartTag 3 is already on sale for as little as $20, making it a fairly compelling alternative to Google’s new Pixel Tag, assuming you have a Galaxy phone, of course.

While Google’s Pixel Tag is a brilliant launch, it’s not perfect. Still based on a Find Hub network that struggles to keep up, the Pixel Tag is a great choice for most Android users, but Galaxy devices have an alternate option.

Surprisingly, Samsung’s network often outperforms Google’s in real-life use, as many have found.

The Galaxy SmartTag 3 went on sale just a week ago as Samsung’s latest tracker. It’s still $29.99 and has a new, smaller design without a built-in mounting loop, but it brings upgrades in longer battery life, limited iPhone support, and a new NFC feature that can show your contact info if someone finds your lost tracker.

And, already, it’s being discounted.

Woot has the Galaxy SmartTag 3 for $23.99. That’s for a single tracker, but there are also discounted bundles. $43.99 for a 2-pack, $62.99 for a 3-pack, and $79.99 for a 4-pack. The 4-pack is the best deal per tracker at $20, but you’re saving money regardless of how many you pick up.

Meanwhile, Galaxy SmartTag 2 is also discounted at Amazon, should you prefer that hardware.
