The Samsung Galaxy SmartTag2 is a Bluetooth tracker for Samsung phone owners, with a built-in metal loop for clipping onto keys, bags, or pet collars. The tracker pairs with the SmartThings Find network through your Galaxy phone, which has over 400 million registered devices that can ping the tag’s location when it’s out of Bluetooth range. The SmartTag2 also has Ultra-Wideband (UWB) for precise indoor tracking with arrows guiding you to within a few feet of the tag.
A tracker that can help you easily find all of your missing items
Compatibility is the first thing to know about the SmartTag2: it only works with Samsung Galaxy phones and tablets running Android 11 or later, so iPhone or non-Samsung Android users should skip this one. For Galaxy owners, the tag pairs through the SmartThings Find app on your phone, which integrates directly into the system rather than running as a separate service. The Bluetooth range hits about 120 meters (around 400 feet) in open spaces, with the SmartThings Find network filling in the gap when the tag is out of direct Bluetooth range.
Battery life runs up to 500 days on a single CR2032 coin cell in Normal Mode, or up to 700 days in Power Saving Mode. That’s around two years between battery swaps. The CR2032 is replaceable, with a coin slot on the back of the tag for prying it open. Plus, an IP67 rating protects against rain, splashes, and accidental drops into puddles, so the tag survives being clipped to your backpack or a dog collar in bad weather.
Search Nearby uses the UWB chip on Galaxy S21+ Ultra, S22+/Ultra, S23+/Ultra, and Z Fold 2 or newer to point arrows toward the tag with foot-by-foot precision. The Compass View also overlays directional arrows on the phone’s screen to guide walks toward the tag. For phones without UWB, the SmartTag2 falls back on Bluetooth signal strength and a ringtone played from the tag’s built-in speaker.
A button on the front of the SmartTag2 doubles as a programmable shortcut. A single press can trigger a SmartThings routine, like turning off the lights or arming a security camera, or a double press can notify someone with a custom message sent through the SmartThings app. The tag also has a Find Phone feature that rings your phone when you can’t find it, even if you still have the SmartTag2 on you, which is useful for the reverse problem of misplacing the device that finds everything else.
The Samsung Galaxy SmartTag2 connects to the SmartThings Find network and offers precision UWB tracking for Samsung phone owners, with a 2-year battery and an IP67 rating, built into a tag the size of a quarter. The Prime Day sale drops the price from $30 to $18. For Galaxy owners tracking keys, wallets, dog collars, or luggage, the discount brings the SmartTag2 in line with basic Bluetooth trackers that don’t have UWB or the SmartThings Find network.
