    Decent price if you're only after 1/2 tags otherwise much cheaper to wait for a sale on the 4 pack which goes on sale semi regularly for ~90 and you don't need to deal with Telstra ID…etc

    • -2

      $90 vs $100 isn't 'much cheaper' though.

      • Depends if you stack on other vouchers/cashbacks/new sign up…etc on top from memory I got a 4 pack for around 82, agreed not too big a difference but worth mentioning.

    • and you don't need to deal with Telstra ID…etc

      What's the trouble? 👂🏼

  • +1

    Thanks, OP. Just needed a couple.

  • just sold my Gen 1 samsung tag+ (with UWB) for $29, battery drains lot quicker. time to pull the trigger for Gen 2

    • Good deal for you! I hardly use my older tags now due to battery drain.

  • +3

    Will it work with pixel or any andriod

  • +1

    Sorry for the newbie question, do these work well with another android device,like Google pixels etc

    • With some workarounds - yes. Utag works well from github imo.

  • -2

    These just don't have enough support to be worth it IMHO - it's a shame there's no version that works across all Android devices. I wanted tags to track my stuff on a trip to Japan and ended up buying generic Airtags from Aliexpress for much less per tag than this, and tracking them using an old iphone (I'm an Android person). Worked flawlessly because there are always lots of Apple devices around.

    • +6

      Really? I don't seem to have many issues with them. It would however have been good if they played nicely with Android's official implementation though.

    • +1

      really… i went to Singapore and on a cruise back and was able to track my tags and i even had a s10… me thinks you might not have set it up correctly

    • +5

      So did you actually try the SmartTags in Japan? Or is this just theoretical?

      • -1

        I read a bunch of reviews from people saying that outside of dense metro areas where at least a few people had Samsung devices, they had issues with Samsung tags.

    • I used them on my last trip to Japan. Worked perfectly to see where my bags were when I takkyubin'ed them.

      • Same here, works perfectly in Japan. I could even check on our luggage while they were stored in the warehouse because we needed them delayed delivered to the airport by a few days.

  • +1

    I asked the JB chat agent to price match, declined.

  • +1

    Thanks op. Good way to use up my last few Telstra points that will just sit there otherwise.

  • +6

    i have one in my car hidden away, one in my suitcase, backpack, these are awesome, worked with my s10 and certainly working with my s25 now. always found them when ever i looked for it, here or when traveling overseas they always were picked up by a near by device. brilliant little devices.

  • +1

    Thanks OP!! Was looking at these for a few months now, got 4 of them, as 4 single transactions, to use my Telstra points!!

  • -6

    Honestly it's so bad, don't waste your money. Just nto enough Samsung device around

    • They work perfectly for me. Have you actually used them?

      • Yea, bought a set of 4. At one time, it could not detect my key dropped underneath car seat with my Samsung device. never again!

        • I've never had that issue, nor have I heard of others having that issue. I'm guessing you had 4 faulty tags (seems unlikely) or you didn't have them setup properly or you're making this up.

          • @wombat81: Nope, hate to disappoint you.

            • +2

              @Lancerx: No disappointment here. I just think it's user error rather than device error.

              But if they're not working properly, surely you'd send them back?

        • They work perfectly for me too. Maybe something wasn't right with your phone.

          • @eug: It's linked to the phone alright. Just give wrong location data

            • +2

              @Lancerx: Did you allow precise location permissions on your phone?
              I can tell you you're in the minority - I have many friends with multiple SmartTags and none of us have experienced what you describe.

            • +1

              @Lancerx: So return them if they don't work properly?

              Seems wild to me that someone would pay ~$125 for something and be really disappointed with how bad they are, but then do nothing about it?

              • +1

                @wombat81: Hey that's rough, he posted on here complaining about them didn't he?

        • Same here, bought one from amazon but had to return it. I tested it in a parking bay at the shop. I was in my car and it was still searching the tag.

    • On the contrary, they're very good if you have a Samsung mobile. I've been using these since the first gen tags.

      If your Samsung mobile is near the tag then location is based on your mobile's proximity to the tag, it wouldn't be reliant on other Samsung devices being nearby based on the experience you've had in the later comments.

      Also the AR tracking using your camera lenses utilises UWB which is radio built-in to flagship models Samsung mobiles since I last checked.

  • -2

    Outside its even worse… It will say devi e last location at home, when it's in the other car outside… I can only guess there's not much Samsung devices around

    • Outside your home? How accurate do you think these things are?

  • Serious question can I use my Iphone with these? is this accessible from the web or only apps?

    • +1

      Nope. Samsung devices only, or other Android devices with a hack.

    • why not buy a airtag, they are lot better in terms of battery life

      • Isn't the battery life pretty similar? Around a year for both?

        • my previous airtag lasted upto 2 years, was really impressed.

          • @hopper: Fair enough. I've never had them last more than about 13 months. Smart tags around 12.

          • @hopper: The typical battery life that people quote is around 12 months, although there are people who get 18 months or more. It depends on how frequently they're used. Features like Find Nearby and ringing the speaker will use more power.

            The SmartTag 2 is rated for 500 days (1.3 years) in normal mode or 700 days (1.9 years) in low power mode. That also depends on usage of course. I get around 1 years in normal mode with light use.

            At $1.50-1.95 per cell in larger quantities, I don't sweat it.

  • Worth a shot as just only 1 tag and having a Samsung phone.

  • having it in the shopping cart of my Telstra account, but still hesitating because I don’t know where I’m going to use it

    • keys (card, fob, remote), pet, luggage, bicycle, car, motorcycle, bag, purse, wallet, umbrella

    • I didn't know what to do with the points.

      Got 2. 1 x for the keys and 1 x for the kid.

      • It did not allow me to get 2 at once? May try to get another one, as do not know what to get with the points, which may be useful.

  • +1

    There's a bit of negging those that haven't had good experiences with these devices.

    I haven't tried them, but I have read that ALL apple devices track tags by default (unless you opt out), where as Android devices (for some reason) don't track tags unless the owner specifically opts in - which,as those who've had negative experiences have pointed out, means fewer nearby Android phones are actively looking for lost tagged items.

    I invested in the Tile ecosystem (not heavily, thankfully), and this was my experience back then too.

    It's good to hear that some people are happy with these tags, I might grab one and try it out. Of course, the fix here to opt in by default all Android devices, then us Android users will have a "find my" network that can complete with Apples….

    • +2

      I think you're thinking of Android's Find My which is different (and poorer) than Samsung's SmartTags.
      FWIW here's a comparison between Apple Airtags and Samsung SmartTags done in Melbourne a while back.

      • +1

        Yes, you're absolutely correct - thank you for the correction.

        So these Samsung tags are only detectable by Samsung phones with the device signed into a Samsung account (which would be most Samsung phones). So there should be plenty of devices around.

        I was waiting for Google's own version, thinking that it'd be an Airtag killler with ALL the Android devices around, but no, not unless everyone chooses to opt in. I know some Google network 'find my' tags have arrived, but with no global opt in I can't imagine they'd be great.

        • It's been a while since I've looked into this stuff (never even ended up buying one)

          But from what i remember, the samsung ones have a longer range compared to the apple ones, by quite a lot too. Which is a HUGE deal.

          If the range is about double (I think it was even more than double) you are already covering about 4x more area

    • +1

      I think the opt in thing is a bit of a myth. It's not like there's a specific opt in setting for smart tags. It's just bundled in with the location services when you set up a new phone. The vast majority of people would have it activated.

      Most complaints about smart tags, from my experience, are because people expect more from them than they're designed to do.

  • +1

    Bought the 4 pack recently on sale at eBay.

    Slipped them into my kids' pockets when we attended Vivid in Sydney recently. Wasn't helpful at finding them in a crowd as I couldn't hear the tag ringing when in their vicinity.

    Would be much better for tracking a stolen car or an item that you could hide the tag.

    • +1

      Yes, that is not a good use case for these. They're not designed to do real time tracking like that.

  • -4

    While the range on this is probably superior, the tile tracker for finding things in the house has been far better (quicker/more accurate/doesn't need internet/doesn't need updates).

    So I would say - tile for things you lose down the back of the couch, samsung for your luggage.

  • Thanks OP 🙇🏼 Have been wanting to try one of these out before a trip to China this year

  • I have a pixel and my wife has an iPhone. She can never find her phone and always has it on silent. Would this be suitable to beep or something activated by my pixel? Or is another device more suitable?

    • +1

      Better for her situation to use the Apple Find My.. featureset, can log in via web to ring the phone.

      Also if she has an Apple Watch she can trigger the phone sound using Apple Find My..

      These alerts bypass silent and dnd mode

  • -1

    Does it vibrate ?

  • My issue would mainly be losing my wallet. I lost it last year and someone bought about $1000 worth of stuff in separate transactions. I don't have a Galaxy phone, but the idea would be if I dropped my waller somewhere could it notify me of that? Like the wallet has been in a strange place (not in home for this long)?

    Oh also Latitude didn't compensate me for this crime. for anyone interested in Latitude's reasoning (could anyone give me a tip on how I could get compensation? I might have to esculate it to independent complaint (as I've already complained several times internally).

    "Latititude: We’ve looked into this for you and found that the purchase was made using the contactless technology in your card.

    Your card contains a microchip, which is nearly impossible to copy. This chip was read wirelessly by the merchant’s EFTPOS device, meaning that your card was in the store for the transaction.

    As we understand that the card hasn’t left your possession, unfortunately we can’t dispute the transaction with the merchant without compelling evidence that you didn’t make, or authorise, the transaction. Because of this, the transaction will remain on the account."

    • So you're saying your wallet got stolen and presumably someone used your card in that wallet to make those purchases?

      Their response doesn't suggest that is what you told them, or at least you are leaving a lot out. Something doesn't add up.

      Susge

      • No, sorry, that was separate. The card slipped out of my pocket, the wallet was never stolen, I'm just wondering if this product would be good for a wallet and android phone setup, not Galaxy

        • +1

          Now I'm even more sus'd

          Why did you say you lost your wallet in your post?

          Timeline What happened
          18 Oct 2024 Wallet lost. Card cancelled next day (phone agent said a refund was “likely”).

          • @Butt Scratcher: If I lost my wallet, hence wanting to buy this product to help me with that

            • @bailbondsh: If I'm picking up these inconsistencies after you've had time to mull over it for 6+ months, I can't imagine how badly you looked when you told the story to Latitude

              • @Butt Scratcher: You should be on some big case with those attention to details skills. I didn't communicate well enough that it was my card that was stolen, but in the future i'd like to have something to protect my wallet as a whole, sue me.

                • @bailbondsh: I'm just reading what you say. When I say inconsistencies, i'm just being nice

                • @bailbondsh:

                  but in the future i'd like to have something to protect my wallet as a whole, sue me.

                  Maybe something like this or this will help?
                  You'd need a lawyer if you do get sued though.

    • +1

      If this is your problem nothing can really help you. You need to either pay attention to your phone and set up notifications for expenses and immediately lock up the card and report lost soon as there is anything unrecognised. Can also disable contact less on your physical card but only allow via phone.

  • Yep i need to setup notifications whenever a transaction is completed for all my cards, I think i only have that for one of my cards. Card was lock about 24 hours after the illegitimate transactions. will try contactless as well.

    • +2

      Adding your cards to your phone and leaving the physical cards at home will be safer. Phones require authentication before a payment can be made.

      • Good idea

      • Or get an old man phone case with card slots. One less thing to remember.

        • It won't prevent a dropped card from being picked up and used though.

          • @eug: True, but it might help the misplaced wallet issue

  • +1

    I ordered two yesterday, and received them this afternoon. Pretty happy with them :D

  • Does these tags also have gps locations?

    • +1

      They use the location of the device they ping. They don't have their own GPS. The only way you can get an accurate location is to be within Bluetooth range.
