Samsung has announced that its own smart tag, Galaxy SmartTag2, will be released worldwide from October 11, 2023. 'Galaxy SmartTag2' is the successor model of the previous model 'Galaxy SmartTag' and has been updated in terms of design and functionality.

The appearance of 'Galaxy SmartTag 2' is like this. It is oval in shape and has a ring on one side that is coated with metal on the inside.



By passing your keys or part of your luggage through this ring, you can prevent the Galaxy SmartTag2 from becoming separated from your valuables. It also has

IP67 dustproof and waterproof performance, so it can be used for luggage and pets taken outdoors. Furthermore, the battery life in power saving mode is up to 700 days, more than double that of the previous model, and even in normal mode it is said to boast a battery life of 500 days, which is 50% more than the previous model.



'Galaxy SmartTag2' is compatible with both Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and Ultra Wide Band Wireless (UWB) , and uses the AR function of Samsung Galaxy smartphones to visually display the distance and location to the smart tag. It also has the ability to guide users to smart tags.

Additionally, by switching the smart tag itself to Lost Mode, a new feature is installed that allows the user to read pre-registered contact information from the tag. The contact information displayed in Lost Mode can be read by any mobile device with an NFC reader and web browser, making it easier for finders to contact the owner directly to hand over their lost items.

Technology media points out that a drawback of ``Galaxy SmartTag 2'' is that it only works with Samsung devices at the time of article creation. This is the same with tracking networks, and it will be interesting to see whether Samsung will support Google's Find My Device network in the future.

In addition, some people have pointed out that the design of 'Galaxy SmartTag 2' is clunky on SNS, but users who have actually used Apple's AirTag said, 'Although AirTag looks good, the chrome part is easily scratched, so I prefer Samsung. 'It's also good in terms of design,' some said.
