Samsung SmartTag2

Super reliable smart tag. Love the build quality, design, and ease of use. It works well with our Samsung phone but we also needed to use one on a Pixel. We got this working using uTag app. It works flawlessly. I can easily track the tag using the SmartThings app. We purchased several and put one on our keychain, suitcases, and bag. During our trip, the tags were very beneficial. The tracking/detection range was better than expected. I love the bidirectional locating feature that provides a peace of mind. The app keeps track of last location should it loose connectivity. It beeps with highly audible sound. I got a silicone cover for it and hang or place it on anything I need to track. This is one of the most valuable purchases.

Great tags and work as promised! Very easy to set up. All I had to do was pull the blue tab out, a pairing request popped up on my phone and opened smartthings. It also notified of an update. You can change the ringtone and volume in the app as well. Its pretty loud, 105 db, which is about the decibels as many car alarms. However, its a tiny speaker, so don't expect it to sound as loud as a car alarm!As far as quality, of course, they're Samsung! Very durable and small enough to hide it in a purse, or even a wallet. If you're using for keys you won't need an additional key ring, it pretty much has one built into it. And its not bad looking either. You can get various protective covers for them as well. I highly recommend, especially at the current price reduction!Please know your tech products... I'm seeing bad reviews (not just for this item, but many) based on finding the tags when their phone isn't close enough to the tags. The location does not update until you are within the tags bluetooth range OR until another Samsung device grabs its location (meaning any other Samsung device belonging to anyone is near by, it automatically pings its location and then you immediately get the update).Furthermore, the reviews saying they went [x amount of feet (like 300) in the wrong direction] and its not picking up the tag, if you're retracing your footsteps for a lost item, you'll find it, so why would you go somewhere you were not to begin with? Illogical reasoning and illogical testing (also, what barriers could have been obstructing the signal, etc). And if an item was stolen, your hidden tag WILL ping once the signal is grabbed. Please stop giving bad reviews because you didn't research what you purchased and have no idea how it actually works.S/n: there are apps made by android developers that may bypass both the restriction to use these tags with other android phones, and the ability to find with locators other than via smartthings. However, I wouldn't base buying an item like this off of using a 3rd party app (especially if little is known about the app), and can also be removed at any moment.

We had some old tags that were not supported any more, so got these to replace them. Just returned from a trip to Arctic Circle, Norway, Iceland, Greenland, NYC and home, and the tags allowed us to track our luggage all along the way. Really glad we had them on board, eased our minds that our luggage would arrive on time. We even had one bag the airline put on an earlier flight and we knew before the airline informed us that our luggage was already at the airport waiting for us.

The Samsung Galaxy SmartTag2 is a noticeable upgrade over the original. Setup was seamless with my Android device running Android 11+, and it connects instantly using Bluetooth Low Energy paired through the SmartThings app. Its improved speaker gets louder and clearer, making it much easier to find items - no more squinting for faint beeps.I stuck it to my keys, wallet, and even clipped it on my backpack; the compact design makes it versatile, and the matte-black finish looks sleek. Battery life has been great - I’ve had it running for several weeks with no drop in performance. Plus, the lost mode leverages Samsung’s Find network so I can locate items even when they’re outside Bluetooth range.Key pros:Easy setup with SmartThings and reliable Bluetooth connectionLoud buzzer makes finding lost items fast and frustration-freeGood battery life (replaceable CR2032)Active on Samsung’s Find network, so you can track gloomed devices beyond direct rangeBottom line: if you're in the Samsung ecosystem, this is a solid tracker that works beautifully for everyday use - keys, wallets, luggage, or anything else you tend to misplace.

UPDATE: AFTER ANOTHER CALL TO SAMSUNG, I WAS SENT A REPLACEMENT SMARTTAG2. CUSTOMER SEVICE CAME TROUGH! CHANGING TO 5 STARS!I bought a 4 pack for an upcoming trip. However, when the time came, only 3 of the 4 worked. The return policy through Amazon expired and Samsung refused to help. My advise, make sure they work as soon as they are delivered!
