Samsung Galaxy SmartTag2 review

Samsung's tracker for the Galaxy Find network: up to 500 days of battery, IP67 dust and water protection, a compass view for the last few meters, and an NFC lost mode a finder can tap.

The conclusion The right tag for a Samsung household. The network decides everything, and the NFC lost mode lets whoever finds it reach you.

Trackers are compared on range and chosen on network. This one belongs to Samsung’s.

Why the network is the whole product

The Bluetooth radio reaches up to 120 m (394 ft), Samsung states. What finds a bag left on a train is every stranger’s phone that passes it and quietly reports having seen it. The size and density of that network in your town is the entire capability.

Samsung’s is large where Galaxy phones are common — which in much of Europe they are. Where they are not, an Apple-network tag will do better on the same street.

The specifications that do matter

Up to 500 days of runtime, and IP67, which means the tag resists dust and a brief immersion — a puddle, a soaked pocket; a run through a washing machine is outside that rating.

Compass view is the useful finding feature: it directs the last few meters, which is where the actual searching happens.

NFC lost mode, which needs no network

Somebody picks up your bag, taps the tag with any phone, and reads the message you set. It works whatever operating system the finder’s phone runs, needs no finding network, and costs nothing.

What it is not for

Theft. Anti-stalking rules mean a tag traveling with a stranger alerts their phone, and following one to an address is a bad idea. A tracker is insurance against forgetfulness.

Who it suits

A Galaxy household.

Availability

Not found on the American Amazon store, where the buy link falls back to a local search rather than to a page that does not exist.

What reassures, and what does not

Strengths

  • Up to 500 days of runtime, extended a further 40% in power saving mode
  • IP67 rated — it resists dust, a puddle and a brief immersion
  • Compass view narrows the last few meters, which is where searching actually happens
  • NFC lost mode: a finder taps it with any phone and gets your message

Compromises

  • Samsung Find network only — coverage depends on Galaxy phones being nearby
  • Nothing about it helps with theft
  • A finding network is only as good as the phones in your area
  • Battery is a coin cell, replaceable but a consumable

The questions we are asked

Does the finding network matter more than the tag?

Far more. This tag’s Bluetooth reaches up to 120 m (394 ft), Samsung states; what locates a lost bag is other people's phones quietly reporting having seen it. That means the network is the specification — and the Samsung network depends on Galaxy phones being common where you live and travel.

Can I use it to recover something stolen?

No, and no page here will suggest it. Anti-stalking rules mean an unknown tag alerts the phone it is traveling with, so whoever has it is told; and following a tag to an address is dangerous. Trackers find things you mislaid.

What is the NFC lost mode for?

An honest finder — someone who picks up your bag — taps the tag with any phone and sees the message you set. Samsung states it works whatever the phone’s operating system, without going through the finding network.

Our score

7.2/ 10
