Samsung's Bluetooth smart tracker is good, makes sense for Galaxy owners.

The bluetooth only version is just a simple beep / beepbeep as you get closer.

    Best I understood from a youtube vid.

      I'm proud of Samsung miserable campaign of pre-orders S21 series. I pre-order Galaxy S21 Ultra. in order to receive Galaxy Buds Pro and Smart tag and I didn't receive it. Why? Because Samsung change the rules in the last moment of this campaign. They put an "button" in Samsung members, and they said: first 400 who push the button and complete the form receive the pre-orders gifts. They displayed the button for only few minutes. From 11:00 until 11:23 . Seeing the campaign, I returned the phone. I'm really sorry I pre-ordered the phone. I will never ever by an Samsung phone!

        I kinda relieve when the SmartTag powered by button cell battery

          so if I found something valuable tied to a SmartTag, I can just use a coin to pry open its battery cover and take out the battery...

I don't know whether it will cost that much to other user since the bluetooth needs to connect to the Tag? Idk how it works.

                With the price of two Mi Smart Bands, who needs such
                a "tag" , except the usual lost-my-keys/lost-my-wallet/
                /lost-my-phone type of people ?

                  The battery information at 16-90% for Medium "level" is off the chart ... It should have been another level perhaps.

It said that when the tracker is marked missing, all the samsung smartphone nearby could help give an approximate location. But i'd love to see someone tested it actually

                        You kinda glazed over the fact that Tiles offering has community tracking. Everyone's phones sees everyone's tracker. So if you loose your keys at the store, somehow, another person's phone might report the trackers location to tiles server, and you (as the registered owner) can see the trackers location. You don't mention if Samsung does this, but even if they do, it limited to like 2 models? As popular as those models are, the user base of those users using these tags will always be smaller than a system that supports just about any phone.

                          Which means...
                          I can track the device in another continent, unlock a car with uwb?
