In 2021, Samsung made its entry into the ever-growing tracker tag market with the introduction of the Galaxy SmartTag, followed closely by the SmartTag Plus.
These devices quickly gained popularity for their ability to help users keep tabs on their belongings. Now, Samsung is taking a significant step forward in this arena with the launch of the Galaxy SmartTag 2.
The Galaxy SmartTag 2 represents a notable evolution over its predecessors, bringing a host of enhancements to the table.
One of the most striking improvements comes in the form of an impressive 50% boost in battery life when in normal mode, extending its operational lifespan to an impressive 500 days.
Furthermore, the device offers a power-saving mode that can stretch its battery life even further, reaching up to an astonishing 700 days.
In addition to these battery enhancements, Samsung has reinforced the Galaxy SmartTag 2’s durability, granting it an IP67 rating for dust and water resistance.
This marks a significant improvement over the SmartTag Plus, which held an IP52 rating for splash resistance.
With these improvements, Samsung is solidifying its position in the tracker tag market, offering users a more robust and long-lasting solution for keeping track of their valuable possessions.

Exploring The New Features In Galaxy SmartTag 2
The Galaxy SmartTag 2 comes with a slew of noteworthy new features that are worth exploring. Firstly, there’s the ‘Lost Mode,’ a handy addition that allows you to attach contact information to the tag through a message.
This means that if someone comes across an item or even a pet with the SmartTag 2 attached, they can simply scan the tag and access your provided contact information.
The good news is that this feature is not exclusive to Samsung phones; it works seamlessly on non-Samsung devices equipped with NFC technology.
There are several other enhancements to look forward to. The ‘Compass View’ feature has been improved for even more precise tracking, while the SmartThings Find app has received an upgrade for smoother operation.
Furthermore, switching to a new phone is now hassle-free, with automatic synchronization ensuring that your SmartTag 2 seamlessly pairs with your new handset.
It’s worth noting that the SmartTag 2 doesn’t appear to support Android’s Find My network. So, if you happen to own a non-Samsung phone with UWB (Ultra-Wideband), you won’t be able to take advantage of this feature.
For those interested in getting their hands on the Samsung Galaxy SmartTag 2, it will be available starting October 11th, with prices starting at $29.99.
