The Galaxy SmartTag 2 is the second generation of Samsung’s line of smart trackers. It features some advantages when compared to rivals such as Tile, Chipolo, and even the Apple AirTag. Not even those, however, are enough to warrant a recommendation on the new model. Read below about the pros and cons of using the SmartTag 2 to not lose your keys, luggage, or pets, and why it is probably better to wait before purchasing one.
Key for me is there is no indication that it will support Google’s Find My network. Although right now Samsung has the most Android phones revolving around the planet, the launch of Google’s Find MY network is imminent. With that network, it will turn all (or most) Android phones into a better network than Apple’s for finding lost tags. I’m dead set against buying any tag that relies on someone else to have installed a specific app to find it.
I do like it’s metal ring (no cover required and should last longer) as well as the easy battery replacement, but it is also probably a shade too thick for me to fit inside my wallet. An Apple AirTag is fitting inside my wallet OK, but this Samsung tag does look a bit too thick for that purpose.
So, I’m waiting a bit…
