Product Information

When you discover the convenience of SmartTag+, you'll find plenty of things around your home that you'll want to tag. It has sleek rounded edges that feel good in your hand and means you won't have to worry about any sharp edges damaging anything. Provided your home gadgets support SmartThings, the built-in key can be used as a light switch or to notify members of your home group. One side of the Samsung Galaxy SmartTag Plus has a button that you tap to interact with it, while the other side is solely devoted to the Samsung logo which is suitably hidden away.

If the device is outside of the Bluetooth LE range, the device can still be located using Samsung's SmartThings Find Network, which uses the internet connection and GPS location of other Samsung Galaxy phones in the area to anonymously pinpoint the location of the SmartTag to the owner. The tags not only encrypt the location data so nobody can tap into the SmartTag Plus’s data stream, but the app randomizes the ID and encryption keys every 15 minutes for an additional layer of safety. Made of polycarbonate plastic, the SmartTag Plus’s case has a textured surface, but lacks the flash of the AirTag’s mirror-like finish.I started by enabling Offline finding in the phone’s Biometrics and Security screen; there’s also a way to do it from the SmartThings Find interface. For Android users, though, the Galaxy SmartTag+ is the best overall rival to Apple's AirTag, with the considerable caveat that you'll need to be happy living in the Samsung ecosystem — and own a very recent Samsung flagship — to get the most out of it. It’s cheaper and it works no matter what smartphone you have to help you locate items on a map or using sound, but only within a range of 120m. Key bundle is found in the green grass utilizing SmartTag+; App on the right displaying the exact site where it can be found.

There's also the question of preventing misuse of small location trackers like the SmartTag+, an issue Apple has already grappled with following the recent AirTag launch.For those of you that have a habit of losing things then the Samsung Galaxy SmartTag Plus will be an instantly appealing gadget to you, provided you use a Samsung smartphone running AndroidOS 8 or later. Once you're finished, the device will be available in the SmartThings app and will appear in the SmartThings Find feature. By placing a SmartTag+ in the user’s backpack, the location can be checked, and the lights turn on in the house upon arrival. Neither Apple nor Samsung can touch the variety of consumer devices that have integrated Tile modules, like the HP Elite Dragonfly and SkullCandy earbuds, making them nearly impossible to lose.
