    Grabbing 8 of these.
    Had the original Samsung Smart tags and my kids have iphones.

    The comparison with the original smart tag versus iphone location tracking is: Smart tag would track more frequently than Apple iphone. Apple tracking would only show current location not recent locations.

    There are way more Samsung devices for the Smarttag to connect to than iphones connecting with other iphones.

    Hooe that helps.

    Does it alert if you are being stalked like airtag ?

    • Mat_Lab on 20/10/2023 - 17:41

      Yes it does

      I gave one of my old Smart Tags to a friend to carry around for three days to see if he gets a notification on his Samsung phone. He didn't; that makes it actually more useful for tracking stolen items.

      Not sure if the new ones do it though.

      edit: Turns out there's a setting in the SmartThings Find app under Labs that turns on "Unknown tag detection".

  • kimba88 on 12/10/2023 - 14:05

    Im going on holidays on the 7th of november and want to use this in luggage. Whats samsung like with delivery times? Im unsure i would receive it on time.

    • eug on 12/10/2023 - 14:37

      The phones I've ordered arrive in about 2 business days. Not sure about tags though.

    • bdl on 12/10/2023 - 15:07

      It says preorders are shipped 16 Oct and has quoted 3-10 business day delivery from that date.

        Yes, but in another page it says they are shipped 'from' 16th October. So i didnt know what chance i had.. especially if it takes the maximum 10 business days.

      You were planning on going on holidays with or without it anyway. Does it really matter if you don't receive it in time for this occasion?

      • kimba88 on 12/10/2023 - 17:45

        Yep, because i wont want the product if it doesnt arrive on time. Im doing 15 flights over 2months. I had been looking at different options for tags/tiles. Was going to go buy something at jbhifi or somewhere anyway. So fingers crossed this one arrives on time!

      FWIW I ordered 2 on Friday and the order is still being prepared for dispatch. So, who tf knows how long it will take.

      If I pay $11 more I could order it on Amazon and get it delivered tomorrow, or pick it up from JB…how backwards…

      • kimba88 on 18/10/2023 - 14:50

  • tangcla on 12/10/2023 - 16:44

    Can I set up and track these using a non-Samsung Android phone?
    Contemplating ditching the 'spare iPhone' I bought so I can use Airtags.

  • sonicentropy on 12/10/2023 - 17:51
    +6

    I have used Tile, Apple Airtags, EUFY and now Samsung PLUS (UWB)
    there is no contest Samsung wins hands down.
    Location History is excellent and sadly lacking in the other options, also smart things service that tracks these tags is native on all Samsung mid-hi end phones, It doesn't get shuffled into low power and hardly ever runs (So lots of active base stations around) mine dont get 6 months battery. but I have a supply of cheap energizer CR2032 cells.
    Only issue I had, I could get a ping in a locker at tokyo station (also 2 levels underground), but apple airtag also didnt help there

      You really don't want a rechargeable battery when the CR2032's lasts between several months to a year and removes the need for a charging port.

        But i do. I don't want to be using single use batteries.
        I'd be fine with qi charging

          I'd be fine with qi charging

          An entire Qi charging loop and circuit is an even bigger ask than a charging port.

          +2

          I'd encourage you to open the thing up and see just exactly how much room the battery itself takes and a single use battery lasts much much longer.

          The idea is you should be able to throw this tracker in a backpack or wallet or something and not even think about it. Then after a number of months you'll open your app to see if the battery is still good and then worst case you above to spend the $2-$5 to replace it.

          It was designed to ALMOST be set and forget. And for the kind of tracking it provides, it's really something quite genius. These tech engineers know what they're doing.

      • samfisher5986 on 13/10/2023 - 09:21

        You can buy rechargeable CR2032 batteries.

        • John Kimble on 13/10/2023 - 18:51

          Why are they not mainstream?

          • eug on 13/10/2023 - 19:00

            @John Kimble: I'm guessing it's because of the risk of people inserting regular lithium cells into the charger and causing a flame out.

            It could also be devices that use CR2032 cells last so long that it's not worth the extra cost for most people. They're also much lower capacity than primary cells and have a higher terminal voltage so might not suit every application.

    Based on the email I received about my pre-order being unceremoniously cancelled with no warning I suspect these have been found to fail product safety standards for devices which hold a lithium coin cell battery and I wouldn't be surprised if Samsung has to issue a full recall notification in the next day or two.

    • flipfire on 13/10/2023 - 08:31

      Havent heard of any safety concerns with this new model

      JBHIFI is still selling it and they're one of the stores that didnt sell the Airtag due to battery safety concerns and they still dont sell it

      • ToobsAU on 13/10/2023 - 09:24

      • ToobsAU on 13/10/2023 - 15:10

        If they aren't about to be recalled then Amazon definitely got some splainin to do…
        Especially considering they wouldn't do anything about that heymix garbage when I gave them a detailed write up and pictures proving that not only was the original job non compliant but that it wasn't even remotely meeting the specs or having any of the important features they strongly promoted

    Does this mean if I don't have UWB I can't use the tag at all? I have a base S22…

          Such an odd design decision then. Admittedly, it make the design different but I do think a compact design would have appealed to a broader market.

            At least you don't have to pay for a case and get the added bulk like you do with Airtags.

            • orly on 17/10/2023 - 23:14

              @gadgetguy: But even the previous gen Smart Tag had a small hole which you could slip a keyring inside so that design worked. This integrated keyring seems unusually large for no particular reason. They are other designs that I can think of that would serve the same purpose in a compact form factor.

    • Setup process was good. The firmware update if you try to go to settings the first time takes maybe 15 minutes.
    • The press button default is meant to be ring your phone, but that doesn't work. I really wanted that feature so thats a problem.
    • The finder works good enough. The metres to it is probably the most handy thing.
    • Like the other tags I've tried, sometimes it can take a while for the tag to "wake up"
