Also, in the video, I might have accidentally said "300 hours", but SmartTags are rated for 300 days of battery.
You can access the SmartThings from notifications menu, no need to search for app.

Smart tag should have also included a LED light to blink. It would give a visual of the device in the dark and noisy environment. It would be also useful for those with hearing problems.
I have a Smart Tag but it never have light at all
Or you intole a light in the Smart Tag
this is why modern-day tech engineering should be created by grade schoolers and not PHD,S.
i made another comment for this video regarding this tag.. that it would be helpful if the developers added a function on the app which allowed it to use the microphones on the phone to detect the sound of the tag.. and it could even use smart features to triangulate the position of the tag in relation to the screen using a kind of compass displayed on the screen. And the tage could communicate with smart signal that differentiates it with the app from other sounds in the environment. This would be helpful to deaf and hard of hearing people and also for people that don't want to not disturb others with loud sounds (the sound eminating from the tag can be at the highest frequencies it can emit.. which are hard for humans to hear.
There is one functionality that should be added and it is that the tag or phone should notify if both are getting far from each othe. Similar to the Spen and the Note
Broo fr
I was about to ask the same. Does this one have this feature? To ring (phone & tag) if tag and phone were far away apart?
You'd have to turn that feature on and off constantly. Every time you walk away from your keys on the hook/table (where you normally keep them) you'd get an alert. Every time you leave your backpack in your locker... Alert. Leave your wallet/purse in your room and go in the yard... Alert! Your family member walks the dog with the tracker on the collar attached... Alert.
I could’ve used this 2 years ago when my wife was cheating, lol!
😦
That funny as shit!
@@tracybrooks215 Lol! Believe me, not when it was happening, but what else can you do!
True!
Ok that’s just-
So getting one for my keys, once a week i seem to near tear my hair out trying to find them, thanks for this
Thank you for this great review. You explained everything I needed to know about this device plus not only you showed me how it worked. My hat off to you sir thank you very much for your review.
I'm definitely gonna get this for my buds plus
Mine arrived today. One for my keys and one for my wifes keys. Works great so far. I also read that if you lose your keys in a park or whatever and realise when home and try to use the app to find them, even if you are out of bluetooth range any samsung phone user that passes the keys the location will be privately collected from their phone and passed to your samsung smarthings find app
yeah that is true and i think it is the best thing ever that samsung had done that
So you have to be in Bluetooth range for this to work?
@@mannyg.forever5730 No, you don't. That's literally what he just explained.
@@MrCow579 i don't get it also... he says, if u are out of bluetooth range, someone else can find your keys, but not you... right?
@@igorstokic4697 Someone elses phone will broadcast the Tag's location but the owner of that random phone won't even realize that is happening
Nice breakdown of features, but I'd like to know a lot more how the network connectivity works, and how functional it really is out in the world, and out of range of your local phone.
Basically it uses other Samsung phone network.
A REALLY REALLY great description for this device - you have been doing this a while and perfected this to a T - so 10/10 from me - refreshing to see GREAT reviewers - (I like your light-hearted "this little guy" description - LOL). I have just ordered a back of 4 - as a great price from Amazon and can set up on various items for my circumstances 😇
what good is a tracker that only works on bluetooth? its basically just a keychain ringer. does no good on stolen cars or run away pets.
You obviously should go to the Samsung website to learn how this technology works. Disclaimer: it connects with Bluetooth of different devices.
@@artybe and still has to be within range of a Bluetooth device. Last I checked, dogs don't carry cellphones and im sure there's no guarantee this device can help you locate a stolen car plus even if a thief has a cell phone they have to have the Bluetooth function turned on or it will be as if there's no phone within range.
@@_AndromedaGalaxy_ it's a useless piece of junk.
Just bought one. I'm impressed.
Can I attach this to my shady gf?
Best question so far lol
More realistic question shady girlfriends car obviously this isn't an actual GPS tracking device with an independent SIM card. So if she drives out of range you're screwed am I correct?
@@honubryant8116 Correct 😄😁
U name it, Sammy can find it lol
@@ahmadalassir1209 sucks i was thinking of buying for the car
These will be great for my dogs. Can't wait to get them and to get the S21 Ultra!
Am I missing something, I can't see the point when the range is only 120m - If my dog runs away more than 120m, is this going to help? if Someone steals my wife's handbag, are they going to stay less than 120m away? I have one of these btw, just got it as a free gift, just can't see what to use it for
Perfect video. Got mine all setup ty
On my s21ultra phantom black got to say it feels amazing, the screen resolution just looks better than the s20 ultra.
hello friend great review,one question pls do ihave to turn it off when i dont want it or its connected one time and thats it?
Dude, you should review Samsung Smart TVs. Show us Smart Things that way too. ✊
Thank you. Very helpful tutorial.
This so so cool! I'm definitely buying one!
OMG! the button is pressable? thats AMAZING!
Will it be able to locate if the tag attached to a dog is actually far away about 2 kms?
No
120 meters only. And Bluetooth has to be on. Lol useless piece of junk, best option is to throw it in the garbage.
I might be wrong, but I think they said during the stream that it's able to communicate with other Samsung devices in the area so give you a better pin point of where the smart tag is
Love u sir and love u SAMSANG for all your products 💓❤💛💕💖
just bought one yesterday and I love it
Does it only work with a new phone? I have a note 9 and I am not sure if it will work
Thanks Saki, cant wait to get my hands on the Plus variant, no more lost keys lol woo hoo ;-) have a great day and stay safe Cheers :-)
But do you have to pay for a tracker? I'll just get a brain check to keep track of everything. Thank you SAKI.☮💙📱
Yes, SmartTag's are sold seperately.
Lol 😄😁
Does it work with Phillips Hue lights?
Sakitech, now that theSmartTag+ is available, will you be doing a comparison of the two and highlight the difference between the the Smarting, SmartTag+, and perhaps the Airtag as well? Thanks. You're videos are always very informative and thorough. Thank you.
Finaly i got the ansver how to find the phone double klick on the tag nice :)
thanks for your explain, but why should i open the internet when i deal with smart tag even if the tag in Bluetooth range ?
is there any way to get notified when tag is out of Bluetooth range ?
Hi. Can you use Bixby or google assistant to find your smartTag
it’s not just Bluetooth it uses it also uses the SmartThings network
like the Apple airtag (but this uses the find my network aswel as Bluetooth)
I use this to turn the tv off when that kids don't listen haha 😆
I thought I can hide this discreetly inside luggage while traveling. Should this be wrapped outside the luggage like how it is shown in this video?
Hi I used a photo from this video in my tiktok post I mentioned your link in the comments.... 👀 please let me know if this is okay or if I should take it down
My friend stupid question, can I use the Samsung tag with other android brand cellphone or it just work with Samsung devices
What about the rooms in smart home? Is that something to have in mind/or can it change room by itself later? And does it make finding other devices like buds easier?
I would have liked it more if these tags could only be reset through Samsung account. the problem is you can reset and disable it manually in a second.
I just pre-ordered one on Amazon after watching your review . I do have a question can I use two of them on my phone
You can use as many as you like, just add them to the app :-)
Question is can u use more then one cause I lose alot of things
So happy samsung gave this free I'm ALWAYS looking for my keys like a mad woman. I'm going to purchase 1 this time and get some for my family.
Can you connect more than one phone to use the tag. Will it connect like ear buds or wearable watch?
This video help me a lot thanks
Dose it locate ur bags on other city...what is the max range for it
Why in my phone doesn't show "Control Devices" I can't click on it..??
Same problem here. That option is disabled even though I got a lot of devices. Can it only control Samsung Devices?
Good video more accessories videos would be great.
Can I use this to start Alexa routines? Thanks.
Hi sakitech,
if I hide a smartag in my motorbike, is possible to find it, when it will be stolen and is a lot of miles away?
Never seem to be able to get an answer to this question. Nobody EVER mentions if this thing can be tracked beyond 120 meters, which is kind of useless if it can't~!
very helpful video ,thank you
It would be awesome if they could make a smart tag with GPS. You would be able to find a lost item anywhere in the world.
@@jonny555ive it's just bluetooth
There is one..it uses gps and a 3/4g sim its called a v-multi from trackisafe..only issue is battery only lasts 3 days!
GPS is a huge drain on batteries
Don't worry samsung is gonna launch their smart tag plus soon maybe it would have those feautures
As long as there's someone near it with a samsung phone, it basically does this.
Also for sony, vivo, othere brand conating possible or not ???
9:13 map location main point thanks very nice :)
it would be interesting if samsung set up the tag and the app to communicate with eachother using the highest frequency as an option.. and then using the phones two microphones to triangulte what direction the tag is in relation to the phone using a kind of compas display on the screen of the phone.. in that way.. it would take less electricity (the electricity to cause the tage to ring) and you could have more instantaneous direction where the tag is. This would also be helpful for deaf and hard of hearing people whom don't hear so well or whom don't have two funching ears to hear to do that same triangluating with their two ears listeningn for the sound and trying to figure out what direction the sound is coming from. Plus it would make less noise in public settings or even home settings.. it would just make it work more quietly.
Hi there. My mother 85yrs old has been misplacing her keys lately. I purchased 2 tags and put 1 on her key ring and 1 on mine. I have a Samsumg A73 5G and it updates very regularly to the location of my keys. But, my mothers galaxy seems be only picking up other samsungs and not hers (samsung Galaxy A13), which is not as good as mine with regular updates. Is there something on her phone that needs to be turned on?
thx ..but should ur Bluetooth working 24 hours in ur phone
Can you please tell me what distance the SmartTag+ is designed to cover ?
My sister in law sent it as a gift "in case my luggage gets lost" .
Thank you .
question in order for it to find your phone would your phone have to have the location and Bluetooth on ?
Can't you have the tag as an alarm in case someone steal you mobile from your pocket ? For example to ring an alarm if the mobile goes 10 meters away from the tag
AWESOME JOB! Tks
Is there a way to turn off the tag to save battery life? Or does it stays on once it's registered on the phone?
Can you use it to start recording video ?
Great video. Thanks.
Can I set up a proximity alert eg. if I have smart tag on my keys and left my phone behind with can the tag alert me if I'm 5 metres away?
Great video thanks
Not sure you answer questions as this video is 8 months old but .... What I intend to use it for is backpacking. My intent is to leave it at camp for when I go for a walk. Sometimes it can be difficult to find camp again so I'd like to use it to help me find my camp. If there is no cell service I can probably assume the map will not work. Correct? Despite using BT to find and track I am thinking I'd have to wander around listening for the beeping. So in theory what I would use it for will not work. Correct?
Yeah it won't be reliable for such an occasion since it uses Bluetooth and also relies on other forms of connectivity.
your can with google maps download to your phone an selected map zone.. they you can locate a marked location(camp site). even with no data connection.. then only need GPS connection (but avoid GPS blind spots like in a deep valley etc)
When it senses a nearby Samsung device ...does the nearby device get a notification??...does it also make chime when nearby samsung is sensed? Or only when prompted?
Hi, I would like to use the tag the other way around. I would like the tag to alert me when my phone is far from me. So if i attach the tag to my keys, whenever my phone becomes far from my keys(supposetly on me), it will beep. For example, f you leave my phone on table at a restaurant, the minute you head to your car, the tag will alert you. Is that possible?
Good 90% review. What about the 300ft?
Would this work with a mobile without a sin card and only WiFi?
Have you tried tracking that tag while it is in the basement, in the trunk, etc? does it still work well?
I have it hidden in my car somewhere and it tracks very well
Thank you! How can I turn off the tag when no using it
If your phone was on silent and you are looking for it does the tag ring it?
Yes
I like how they beat Apple to the punch. Goodbye Tile. It was great while it lasted.
I have the original Tile and it is good because you can change out the battery. Now the new Tile has a sealed battery so you have to throw it away after a couple of years and spend money on a new one. No thanks. I ordered a Samsung Smart Tag because you can change the battery and it does more than a Tile can do
Is there any option to customize a range for the smart tag ? I want to hide it in my child’s backpack
"...an approximate exact location of where your tag is.." LOL
Doesn't work if you have tagged two keyring together. It's not connecting but of you move the keyrings apart , then it works .This is my first bluetooth tag.I wonder this is happens with other brands or not .?
Best how to use it thanks I sub
What's the range? I read that if it's miles and miles away, another galaxy will pick it up and I can see it. I need it for long distances
Watch from pakistan 🇵🇰
Can we use this battery operated tag in checked baggage? As airlines don't allow battery in check-in baggage
If you are allowed to bring your car's keys you are allowed to carry this product.
Is this using a chargable battery?
First viewer
Can these be turned off to save battery when not in use?
How can you tell that smart tag is following you aka someone can slip it on your pocket or something. How do you detect none your smart tags
Do I have to open location services while I am connecting the device with my phone...?????
Does this connect to GPS? How will it track my dog, car etc. if they are outdoors with no wi-fi available?
They use other samung devices in the area to update its location
@@5stxr.kixn1 but only devices which have Smart Things installed,. activated and bluetooth is on correct?
Can it be with two devices to track our kid my ex and me or its only one devices one ?
I have note 20
Bought smarttag
Cant control devices with it
The option to do this in the relevant setup page looks turned of
I only can use notify someone or change location
Any ideas?
Is there a way "reset to factory settings" this device?
I just got my S21 Ultra with the smart tag. I open the box at the retail store but I did not connect it to my phone (since the agent was trying to update the phone that time). I got home and when I try to connect it, it says that the smart tag belongs to someone else.. Tried to "hard reset" (removing the battery) but still it doesnt work...DuFQ!!
Can I link my tag to two different "locations" in the smart things app? I want one "location" setting shared with a friend (we have our cars tracked with the tags) and one with my father, and I want to share my cars location with him too but not my friends car. Any way how I can solve this?
How smart tag plus different from smart tag regular? I have seen them in the event
I'm a Redmi user can I use this?
Can I use it on my iPhone
Does it works in forest like at 2-3 km distance ?
Can I put this in my car and track it or will it need to close to my phone?
Great job in describing; however nobody mentions how fast it drains 🔋.
Is it rechargable?
Mine doesn't ring the phone unless if the phone was literally on the app which makes it completely useless
Firstly I suggest advise users Smart Things is not always included on your phone. I needed to download that and Smart Track on my new Flip 3. Secondly compared to the Apple Air Tag its a mission AND CONFUSING AND STUPIDLY LAID OUT. The user window is confusing. "pressed" stupid description, "Held" stupid description."Use buttons for routines" dumb!! However this is louder and the two way action to find either the phone or tag is magic and it betters apple. The tracking seems better that Apple too. So overall whats you figure this out it works better but is innitially a ball ache to setup.
