The Samsung Galaxy SmartTag is a key finder produced by Samsung Electronics. The device utilizes Bluetooth LE to allow the user to locate whatever object it is attached to via an app.[1] The device was announced at Samsung's Galaxy Unpacked event on January 14, 2021.

Function[]

The Galaxy SmartTag is a tracking device which can be attached to various objects that are easily lost with a small strap (sold separately) or by other means, such as a keychain. Objects include keys, luggage, purses, among others. The device can then be located with an app using Bluetooth LE. Another variant, the Galaxy SmartTag+, will use ultra-wideband in order to locate the device and was released in April 2021.[2] While the device is inside of the Bluetooth range (120 meters), it can play a ringtone to alert the user of its exact location. If the device is outside of the range, the device can still be located using Samsung's SmartThings Find Network, which uses Samsung Galaxy phones in the area to pinpoint the location of the device. The device also has a programmable button that can be used to control SmartThings smart-home products.[3]
