So u r going to carry keys to control ur smart devices? Cant they be controlled by ur phone which u r carrying anyway? Its good to have option but i dont see any extra benefit in gereral. Whats the main purpose of tag, its to track? Is it better than airtag with u1 chip and vast find my network? Definitely not!! So stop ur shitty comparison
My girlfriend set the press and hold feature to text me in case she's running and someone tries to kidnap her. Not that she'll ever use it but it's literally a lifesaver if one day she did need it
Accuracy: Airtag is definitely the winner, especially if you have iPhone 11 or 12. Number of devices which will help you to find your item with one of these two devices: all iPhones and iPads and Apple watches for Apple. And only Galaxy smartphones for Samsung. So clearly Airtag is the winner.
@@michaelincognito7707 no its not 1) there are way more samsung phones than iphones that's why Samsung has top marketshare of smartphones. 2) Samsung works with not just Samsung but third party devices too so by definition it will be better than air tags
@@eventusvantos2770 wrong. Samsung dont have the biggest market share. If you are talking about OS, well, android is bigger than iOS. iPhones have the biggest marketshare talking about the devices themselves. And for pricing he is comparing different tiers as he is only comparing smartags, not the smartags+. As smart tags only uses BLE. Which wouldn’t tell you exact location if you are nearby. The “+” adds the UWB chip. But then it will actually cost more.
@@trueofknowledgerepublican.6395 A Tile could be right in front of me and the app can’t find it. I have walked around the house trying to find my keys and even when i find them and place them right in front of the phone it gets nothing. Not always, but those times I needed to find something. I gave up on Tiles.
You missed the most important feature on the air tag. The ability to track the AirTag when it’s lost anywhere outside of Bluetooth range. Because it uses Find My network on iPhone devices it will send a location when anyone with iPhone and Find My walks near it, making items pretty fast to find if it’s in a populated area. That’s a massive feature and more important than gimmicky light switches etc. AirTag is for tracking, simple and on point. I understand AirTags are only exclusive to Apple users but saying Samsung smart tags are much better is bit of a stretch, better for Samsung users… sure.
The reason he didn't mention it is cause at the very beginning of the video he said and I quote "it does the exact same thing". It ping its location with other Samsung devices like the airtag does for iPhone but the smart tag has additional functionality since it can be tracked with the Bluetooth signal strength and have its range increased further still if you have a ultra wideband phone with the smartag plus as well as the nfc and button programming. He just wanted to cover the additional features which is why he glossed over the features everyone already knew about. To be fair he should have done a side by side comparison for people not familiar with all the features of either one like comparing ipx rating, sound, ease of use for the app, range, etc.
Scary people can stalk you with AirTags far easier than tile or possibly smartag. Tile is scary now because it connects to Amazon sidewalk network comprised of echos and doorbell ring (as opposed to smarttag Samsung network and AirTag to Apple findmy network). If you walk past a house or building with Amazon echo inside or ring at their door, Low frequency long range..
Apple always plays these games where you have to buy something (loop) after you already bought something (airtag). Same story with no headphone jack and their other "upgrades". They take advantage of their customers, who overpay for less functionality.
I love the action button feature, but it looks like the AirTag might actually be better at allowing you to find things with that U1 chip. Those direction and distance notifications are pretty amazing.
Yes, your AirTag can be found through iPhones of other users, e.g. if your luggage got really lost (or stolen). So the AirTag cannot only be found if you are close to it but if any iPhone is close to it. But I think that Samsung does something similar through its Galaxy SmartThings-Find-Network.
@@1993rufus I think holder in the future is a lot because a lot of third party is sell to cost start 0.5$-40$ up to you choose and.... 1. Battery for 1 year 2. Has U1 chip for location is very precise. 3. Has 1 billion apple user+ Apple server (Encrypt and change the key every minute, it is more secure.) 4. Has Unwanted detection mode (ios, android support with NFC, if android not have NFC, airtag will ring)
With all due respect, this doesn’t show whether the Smart Tag is a better tracker than the AirTag. It shows that it can be a remote control for your bedside lamp. That’s as if I was to “review” the iPhone 12 and say it’s a better phone than the Galaxy S21 because it comes in purple - that’s cool, but it’s not what the phone is about.
@@OHCAM5 It has a button, Which is cool, but as a tracking device for your stuff if you have an Apple device, it is in many ways worse because it has precision finding and the big thing is the use of the "Find my network" allowing you to find it almost anywhere in the world so long as an Apple product has passed by it within Bluetooth range. So to say that it is "BETTER!" and to "Forget Air tags" is clearly AT BEST click bait and at worse just a complete intentional mischaracterization of the products for monetary gain.
@@quantuminfinity4260 ofcourse if you have an apple device the airtags are better these won't even work with anything that is not Galaxy, just like the airtags only work with apple products. Comparing them is dumb because they are not interchangeable.
I have one. Its bad. Cant tracking if youre in the same house. I got message "you are in the same place with your smarttag" despite it 5-10 metres away. AirTag is far more superior with the U1 chip
@@Racko. how is it Superior when they do the same thing well if you have the plus version plus the smart tag edges it out because it had the ability to do automation basically program to do whatever you wanted to do
@@lilrell804 Samsung tiles dont have the same UI chip that tracks things accurately, look at Max Tech's comparison and you'll see what im talking about
Well, the smarttags aren't accurate enough. Moreover if you lose the airtags it is going to be easier to find due to millions on iphone users. I'm not a hater but I think aitags are better, for better with accuracy.
You're right there are millions of iphone users. But there are billions of samsung users. Samsung is leader in terms of quantity for a reason. And any middle range phone has a smart things app. You underestimate samsung. What stops samsung to implement the same function as apple to track your tags via others phones? If they didnt do it already.
I've test this with regular smarttag, not the +. I've bump my car and claim insurance, and leave the tag on my key. I can find the location of my car to the exact address of the body & paint workshop. As long as there's another galaxy nearby, you can find your smarttag.
Galaxy phones are more diffuse than iPhones in the US. So, you win some, you lose some. SmartTags+ have the UWB locator in them that the AirTags have. However, I like the buttons on the SmartTag a lot more. Besides, if you are trying to locate something, then, by the time that you're in BT range, you can just activate the alarm.
“I can use my “airtag” 🤔 to control my home” Sorry Alexa, I’d rather have to find my smart tag and then press a button to turn on/off my lights instead of telling you to do it.
Do you even know what is the U1 chip or you just copy paste what they say? .. even if you know let me tell you this, IT DOESN'T MATTER. Because both of them do the exact same thing, except I don't need to pay 20$ for a loop on the apple air tag + the smart tag have a button that you can customize to do a certain thing. So yeah, extra features with the same price.
@@muhannadoraby21 Hey. Here is the future with nfc to advert the person have found a lost thing, with the number and a text to the person can return the lost thing? And U1 it’s very cool and more precision than smartag. But you don’t see both of this products are cool with certain futures more fun to costumers decide what is better.
@@lore_gelso8056 like how much? 10$? Or even 5$. The total will be 25$ and the smart tag costs 20$. Still low price and doing the same thing. And don't look at the 25$ like a 5 dollars more so its not a big deal, cause nobody gonna buy just 1 airtag at least you gonna need 4. So.. 5×4=20$ Yeah I am going to stick with the smart tags 👍
@@muhannadoraby21 You don’t have to buy a Loop... You can put the airtag in you wallet or bag. In the end it only matters wich device you have. Im on IOS so i will buy an Airtag.
With my respect to Samsung (I have S20). But Apple has about 50% of market share in US vs Samsung's 25%. So, who has more chances to find a lost tag? And don't forget, that iPads and Mac's also part of the tag network.
You are totally right. But Samsung fans, like this youtuber voluntary forget this essential element. And about privacy, that's the same: Apple designed Airtag with privacy respect first. Not Samsung. This is why they just announced an improvement...
@@eventusvantos8586 Wrong. Information available on Samsung website: "The SmartTag+ is compatible with Android OS 8.0 or higher. However, to use the AR finding feature, your Galaxy phone or tablet must support Android 11 or higher. The feature is currently available on Note 20 Ultra, S21+, S21 Ultra, and Z Fold 2. Third-party Android devices and iOS devices are not supported."
@@michaelincognito7707wrong. That is for UWB I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about general tracking notifications which supports third party networks and devices not just samsung ones
what about privacy? accuracy? distance? The added features are cute, but seriously who is gonna use them to control anything? Most people buying this already have smart home tech, nobody walks around the house with keys. Nobody is gonna go find their keys to turn off a light. Also, a reason Apple didnt make them with a key ring is to give you options on how to use them. Giving you flexibilty on where to place them, they’re not limited to just a key ring. I do like some of the customization options but those aren’t as important as privacy and accuracy.
Why would I want to control lights with an item tracker? Plus, if the SmartTag does the same thing (and more) than the AirTag, then how come SmartTags don’t have Precision Tracking with a U1-like chip? Also, the phone won’t let me know when the tag’s battery is low? I have to manually check battery levels for each tag? Not very ‘smart’ if you ask me!
It doesn't have to be lights. It can be programmed to control whatever you want eg for your car keys it can be made to open or close a garage so that it's more convenient and so having this option allows the tracker to be useful when it's not being used for tracking/finding Smart tag plus does have precision tracking And it's better than apples which has trouble with detecting height And yes it will let you know when the battery is low So yes its smart, cheaper, doesn't need extra case just to get loop, doesn't scratch up so easily and has more features etc so it is smart
@@enterthenuttmeister wrong. Samsung dominates smartphone industry market share plus the network works with third party networks and devices Wrong. Air tags look hideous especially with how easily they can be scratched The battery is very easy to remove and since it lasts so long you won't even be replacing it often
@@enterthenuttmeister wrong. It lasts more than a year. Yes its looks nice and clean and unlike apple doesn't scratch easily which doesn't look good at all. So don't say that when you don't have any taste to begin with WRONG. It works with THIRD PARTY devices not just samsung galaxy ones. And no that's only for uwb. For general notifications finding THIRD PARTY DEVICES can work as well as samsung ones and they don't have to be new ones Which country are you from? In VAST MAJORITY OF COUNTRIES samsung dominates And wrong. Even samsung flagships like s21 outsold iPhone 12 flagships
Honestly, I thought Saki was gonna say you had to pay for the Airtag color, but well, selling the loop for more money than the actual tag is already ridiculous enough.
@@justxylo4135 I know what Hermes is, it's a luxury leather product manufacturer, but who wants a Gucci like, $350 product for a $30 device.... If they introduced such a product for the Macs, it still makes some kind of sense, not for the Air Tag....
@@OHCAM5 the point is that he said "u have to buy this additional loop that will cost u 30$" This statement doesn't seem very honest/precise, because u don't always need the loop (e.g. if u put the AirTag in ur briefcase) & most people won't buy Apple's loop just like most people don't buy Apple's cases for iPhones. Ofc the AirTag will be more expensive if u buy an additional accessory but this isn't disputed by anyone
@@lymphe if you want to attach it to your keys, which is what most will use it for, you need that accessory. The simple fact you have to buy it is the issue.
@@OHCAM5 Yes, I will need ONE for my keychain, which I ordered on Amazon for 2,95$ But the one in my backpack, the one in my wallet, and the one in my luggage don't need it. For the one in my wallet it would even be somewhat of a waste of space. Considering that the SmartTag not only larger in diameter but also over 20% thicker, I'm glad that the AirTag in the wallet trades of the unnecessary hole for being more compact. Don't get me wrong, the hole in the SmartTags is very practical. I would like to have one in the AirTag, too. But I would also like the SmartTag to be less bulky if it has to fit in a wallet that I carry around in my jeans all day. I hope you are also able to see that trading in size for a practical hole has both up- & downsides. In the end, you cannot make the SmartTag smaller, but you can buy additional loops for AirTags super cheap, so I think the AirTags compact design is the better one-size-fits-all compromise (even better would be a solution like Tile, which just offers different shapes & forms). The whole thing, of course, is as "first world problem" as it can get :D
I am so glad you did this comparison, this why I love Samsung, they dont rip you off and nickel and dime you on Tech that other companies already came out with!
Exactly😁. So much debate which one is better. Both are mainly design for its own ecosystem. But Saki should have shown both how they work in finding things/accuracy.
Saki, you didn't really tell us why galaxy tag was better than air tags. This was not even a comparison. And to me you sounded a little nervous like you were forced to do this video.
Well you don't have to buy a loop, & it has a customizable button. I don't think it was a comparison I think it was just showing the benefits of the smart tag
i agree, the extreme rich people agrees, Jim Carrey agrees, Jesus with hes S21-Ultra agrees as seen in heaven, Joe Biden agrees, my cat agrees, 95% south koreans agree, hard working Mexicans agree, Aliens with advanced ships with Samsung dashboards agree. i think we know who the winner is here.
I am being nice here, the most expensive one is Hermes airtag holder at $449 🤣 Here is the link: www.apple.com/shop/product/MX8A2AM/A/airtag-herm%C3%A8s-luggage-tag
16$ for a rubber band? Omg people are out of their minds if they go for airtags when the smartag is just 20$ and we can get one for free if we buy any samsung flagship
AirTags have a built in NFC tag that can be read by any phone, not just iphones. That could be an advantage if it's lost. NFC also lets you create automations from the iphone Shortcut app. So yeah, you can make routines to open garage doors, turn on lights, get directions home, call the wife, or a million other things (pretty much any app you have on your phone). Kind of similar to your SmartTag example, except you scan it instead of pushing a button. Lots more customization options for AirTags too... if that's your thing. Anyway, I don't see either as clearly "better" than the other. It's a no-brainer to just choose whichever one matches your phone. Just wanted to point out a few things you missed.
Most people would prefer to push a button to turn their lights off or open their garage door. That is more comfortable for home automation than NFC. Also, the Samsung tags have ultra-wide band and not just Bluetooth, which makes them more trackable and precise. And depending on your location, you could argue there are more Samsung phones devices on the road than iPhones, which means the network for tracking has more coverage. At least for worldwide tracking, Samsung beats Apple because the iPhone, while very popular in the US and Europe, it's almost non-existent in some places. If that is a concern for someone, travelling or global tracking and having precise location, the Samsung tags are probably a better choice.
No.1 Apple set up is easier… you don’t need to press a button. No.2 i don’t know about anyone else but I’ve never felt the need to turn on a light with something used to find my keys.
1. Samsung is easier. Pressing a button isn't hard. 2. It doesn't have to be a light it can be anything you want. Eg for car keys you can program it to open or close your garage door so that way while it's not in use for locating keys it can still be useful as a garage door opener
@@walex19 how is it a gimmick? It's actually the opposite. While it's not being a tracker it is being useful to be customized to whatever you want eg for car keys it makes perfect sense for it to be used as a garage door opener button
In this case, how is Apple airtags more expensive that samsungs smart tags lol samsung smart tags are 30 bucks and the tags+ is 40 bucks while airtags are only 30 yeah the accessories are weirdly expensive but that doesn't mean you should buy it from apple right you can easily find some cheap ones on amazon etc. I don't understand the hate on airtags from the samsung fanboys acting like samsung sheep lol By the way i aint saying samsung tags are useless they are pretty cool too, i wouldn't mind getting 2 of them but with the number of iOS devices out there you would more likely to find you airtags easier than smart tags
@@eventusvantos2770 Read the comment again. I never said there are more iPhones than Samsung phones. Samsung makes phones at various prices and releases a new phone every month or so. It is obvious they have a higher market share than iPhones. Also it depends on where you live. If a lot of people own a Samsung then it makes sense to buy the tags but if a lot of people around you have iphones then its better to get the airtags (obviously the phone which you have weighs in more in making your decision, but if you have both a galaxy and iphone then good to get both)
@@shashps 1) since there are more samsungs than iphones world wide it makes more sense to get Samsung 2) plus Samsung works with third party devices so smartag is better choice
@@shashps again that's my point 1) smart things app isn't needed 2) it already comes pre-installed on Samsungs since even though it's android it's samsungs version which is way ahead of regular Android and even has many features which even ios today still doesn't offer 🤣 Wrong. Any Samsung phone can help and more importantly any device in general can help since smart things works with THIRD PARTY devices and networks I'm not just talking about tiles I'm talking about other androids because like i said smart things app is not necessary to install Wrong it can't be disabled easily and even its possible most people don't disable it since smart things is used for more things than just air tags it's used for tvs, laptops, appliances etc So you admit iphones are for people mostly whome are not tech savvy? Yes that's my point it's not just samsungs but other androids and tablets and laptops that are part of Smart things network for smart tags to use
has no water resistance of any kind tho… kinda useless if you’re gonna attach this to everyday things that will inadvertently come into contact with water
Unfortunately, that's how most are brainwashed. Whenever I pull out my phone to use Samsung Pay, it usually goes like this.. "Sorry. We don't have Apple..." (card reader beeps) "Oh... Then they say to their coworker "Did you know that we can take electronic payments?" My usual expression...🙄
Yeah well but it has some nice features like an can get you to the item by extreme precision by using the u1 in the iPhones and also it got some smart features like it notifies you when your iPhone detects a airtag that isn’t yours nearby.
You can see the battery status of the StartTag. That's really nice. So you can get an idea when it's time to replace it. Apple AirTag doesn't seem to have this feature.
I don't know how accurate the Smartag battery meter is. I placed a Smarttag under my wife's car back in March, 9 months later it shows that it has 90% battery life left, the owner's manual says the life of a battery is 8 months. So does this means that my Smartag's battery life will be 7 years? It's already 9 months going and only spent 10% battery life according to the app meter.
I don't know if it's accurate. I placed a Smarttag on my wife's car exactly 1 year ago in March 2022, the battery shows 96% full, that's impossible since the battery life was only supposed to last 8 months, it's a miracle it's still functioning 4 months overdue.
keys cafe from Good Lock. It's a module for Samsung keyboard! Try to search it on UA-cam, with keys cafe you're able to personalize in a high level your Samsung Keyboard. Have a good one!
There are 3rd party key holders by far way cheaper…anyways, the smart Tag works on not too old Samsung Galaxy phones, like AirTags on not too old iPhones. Both have pros and cons, but at the end, both work stunningly good.
The whole point of these tags is how many OTHER devices will be able to detect them. Apple AirTags are detected by ALL Apple devices, iPhones, iPads, Macbooks etc. Chances are that your AirTag will be close to any such device at almost all times, thus you can always track it. These SmartTags by Samsung can ONLY be detected by Android phones and ONLY if they have the SmartThings app installed. How big are the chances that it will be near such a device? Not very likely, thus useless for tracking.
Smart tag is just more on controlling? So what if you lost your keys somewhere outside the range will ot locate your keys? Or will other android phones help locaye you keys or surrender and tag it as lost forever? Or pray someone using tile app and may be able to ping your tile tracker :\
apple itag $30 irubber iloop $20 warranty apple care for the apple loop 45$. apple gives free air inside the box of the apple tags not just any air its Tim Cooks farts mmm mmm good am loving it.
apples "find my" network is superior and noone surpass it even the ones that copy its concept cause there will be less detecting devices (phones) then there are iphones (that detect airtags). I doubt there will ever be network like this among all android phones
@@mkriz2140 haha ur funny coz its Apple who copied the whole concept of Samsung smartags and came up with a half good product which Is only good for tracking........just take a look at this video and then comment ur stupid apple support
@@T0NYMANUEL iphones are the first that comes with "find my ..." network service that works even when the lost devices comes offline (samsung actually copied this in their phones). Now apple release AirTags that can be part of this network... Samsung smarttag is not even a competitor for airtag cause its work on bluetooth only, and due to this its have much more limited functions/usecases.... (even if samsung added smarttags to their "find my .." network it still would be so much worse than airtag cause density of galaxy devices with android 10 is so small you can track nothing (it needs android 10 to work). So the fact that smarttag was first doesn't matter since it cannot compete with airtag... the mechanism of finding airtags is based on "find my iphone" and paradoxically its the function that samsung copied in their phones. I WILL POST SOURCE IN NEXT COMENT IF UA-cam DONT BLOCK IT SINCE IT WILL HAVE URL LINK Im using Mi 10t pro btw. so no apple fanboy (apple watch, airtag, airpods are the only devices i like from them. unfortunately cant use them on android)
Saki what happened to that 1 week video after you switched from the s21 to the Oneplus 9 pro? Are you staying with the Oneplus or switching back to the S21 ultra?
The difference is that Apple has a huge community network. Samsung's Smartthings app network is much smaller. In addition, Apple tags can also be tagged by Android devices. Also, you don't need to buy an holder for 35$, you can just buy it from third-party manufacturers for $ 2
No, android devices can read the NFC message on the airtag but that's it. His point is you have to by an extra accesory to be able to actually use it how it's intended to be used
I’m sorry but on aesthetics alone the air tags looks nicer. If I’m going to use a location gadget I might as well have something that looks nice. Plus if I want to control other devices in the house we have other gadgets for that. Is it going to make me breakfast as well? No! No one gadget can do everything.
Nah smart tags looks nicer black looks much better than silver which easily gets scratched up And you can customize what it controls for example if you attach it to your car keys you can make the button open and close your garage door so that way your one tracker can be both tracker for car keys and button for the Garage So it makes it much more convenient and useful when the object isn't lost
Smart Tag+ Works Precisely. The less than a dollar CR2032 Battery lasted More than a year. It doesnt give location when the battery is Too Low already But Still connect to my Phone when it's around 5 meter distance .
It’s unfair to compare smart tag with air tag. Compare it with smart tag + due to UWB capabilities. U don’t even do the correct comparisons. Air tags are generally better.
Why do you have to compare SamsungTag to Apple AirTag? Why Samsung user always attack apple when they bring something new? Take your SamsungTag and let others take their AirTag... Apple AirTag all the way 😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
Doubt it if so it’s probably very limited like the Samsung ear pods. Likewise airtags won’t work with Samsung phones. AirPods work but very limited. Same for the watches. So comes down to see the smart tags so much “better” you’d switch ecosystems.
Depends which country you live in lol... most people buy Samsungs globally so in those countries the smarttag is better... in the US/Japan the airtag is better since there will be someone else nearby with the same product.
Control the lights? That’s what I got my phone for. I just want to attach it & forget it. Ring my phone? That’s what I got my Apple Watch for. Precision Finding is also better than “hot & cold”. AirTags for the win.
Thank you so much, Saki! 🙏 Finally someone is shouting out for the Galaxy SmartTags. And of course I expected you to do this. Everyone is just talking about AirTags 🍏. I even found one video claiming, the AirTags were cheaper than Samsung's SmartTags, which is not true, as you always need some accessories to fix them to a key or whatever.
Can you please tell me if my Daughter will get an alert that she's being tracked with my Smart Tag? She has an iPhone. She's 16 and I'm giving her my car
The main appeal of the airtag is the extensive network of iphones that the tags can ping off of as opposed to Tile only pinging off other Tile owners. I'd assume the same would happen for this tag. Also the close range direction tracking is pretty impressive. Assigning a function sounds kinda unless since I'd be putting it on stuff I don't really carry. Can't lose my keys when your car and door are unlocked with your phone.
This video is talking about the Smart Tag, not TILE, which are two completely different products. With that said, the SmartTag does require a phone with SmartThings app installed, and it is a common app amongst Android phones. Still a much higher percentile than TILE specific owners.
@Double Vision maybe in your location anyone around me hundreds people all iPhone. Maybe it’s because I’m in America we all can afford iPhones even homeless they hand money out like crazy. And no that android device doesn’t use other androids to get its location. The AirTag uses every single iPhone in the world.
@@willlindsay6753 hi , i have a samsung . So lets say i bought a smarttag and placed it in my work truck . If it got stolen and they drove further than the 120 meters away from my phone. I would not be able to get signal from the smarttag? thanks
Forget Sakitech UA-cam channel definitely because non-objective videos, especially this one. I like UA-cam when the youtubers are objective. That is to say when they have no bias. Are they paid by certain brands to put these brands on a pedestal, to extol their products by demolishing their biggest competitors in a non-objective way? That's a very good question... Either way, Sakitech is making money through the link for the Samsung product sold by Amazon. So, my advice, to find objective videos, go see other youtubers, not Sakitech ...
The airtag has the Find my network behind it, with just about every iphone and apple device around it reporting its location. the galaxy smarttag does not. bluetooth range vs people around you with iphones
Thanks for the the review, but it seems that Apples has a key feature that Samsungs Smarttag doesnt. If you put the apple tag in some accessory and you lost the accessory in the train or in the bus, all iphone-network near the apple tag you lost will help you to find your accessory because a notification message will be sent to you with the location of your tag and the iPhone that give that location will not be notified and it will not even know it. This is a key feature (and "smartest") in apple tags if someone stole an accessory with your apple tag hidden inside it, or you just lost the items by far then bluetooth technology range limitation. Samsungs smarttag has the limitation of 120m range maximum, and thats it. It does not exactly kills the apple tag convenience.
No, Samsung ones do the same, I lost a galaxy watch recently, and it was close to a galaxy device and it sent me a notification of where it was, it was stolen and whomever took it, turned it off so I wasn't able to get it back, but Samsung devices work with that feature too, if the device is marked as lost, and it passed by a Samsung phone, it will send you a notification, the 120m range is for when you are using the arrow feature that tell you exactly in what direction it is, airtags have basically the same range for that feature, so there is not that much difference in that
It's only Bluetooth range though, airtags from Apple ping signals off any iPhone so if a iPhone passes by it will update the signal. If someone takes something it will keep updating you.
Oh you can turn on the lights with it, cool! 🙄 it does the same the light switch does! I’m getting an airtag for what it is, Apple products never disappoint.
In Philippines, Police conduct a manhunt operation against a group of criminals who committed a robbery. A group of robbers break a car's windows and stole a bag which is owned by an Attorney. The Attorney remembers that his bag has an airtag and with the help of the Police, they followed the direction and the place gave by the airtag and stops in a place where the criminals starting unloading stuffs they stole from people on that day, not knowing the Police are already in front of them.
Will this show live updates on where my lost keys are if someone moves them after I realize they're missing, or does it just show the general area of the last time the smart tag was connected to my phone's Bluetooth?
I've been a long time Tile user and tried smart tag as well, finally the Apple air tags beat out the two former just flat out due to the network they have.
Not true, iphones has to have ios 14.5 or later to track from other iphones. Samsung has to have smartthing app running to track from other samsung phones.
One more thing you can do with the Samsung SmartTag is use it to locate your phone. If you can't find your phone in the house, click the button and your phone will ring at max volume. Awesome feature.
I think AirTags are better at providing the exact location... Because more often than not you're looking for things that aren't huge in size.. like keys, wallet etc. And for locating those things AirTags are better
Samsung actually has the smartag plus now which are better than the normal one and samsung has upgraded the feature now for in case someone pops one in your bag,so then you can see if someone is tracking you
And so what happens if your smart tag is more then the 360 ft or whatever, like what if it goes into another state? Bluetooth won't be able to find that.
How about the comparison in terms of range ? What is the range for Air Tag ? It would be better if you could locate this device by a gps module.

It would have been better if you show how they work/accuracy in finding stuff than comparing it by specs and place one nxt to your phone😁.
Accuracy: Airtag is definitely the winner, especially if you have iPhone 11 or 12.
Number of devices which will help you to find your item with one of these two devices: all iPhones and iPads and Apple watches for Apple. And only Galaxy smartphones for Samsung. So clearly Airtag is the winner.

@@eventusvantos2770 wrong. Samsung dont have the biggest market share. If you are talking about OS, well, android is bigger than iOS.
iPhones have the biggest marketshare talking about the devices themselves.
And for pricing he is comparing different tiers as he is only comparing smartags, not the smartags+. As smart tags only uses BLE. Which wouldn’t tell you exact location if you are nearby. The “+” adds the UWB chip. But then it will actually cost more.

Same here. It just fails but it was the best option at the time.
You guys could use the sound in the smart tag
You missed the most important feature on the air tag. The ability to track the AirTag when it’s lost anywhere outside of Bluetooth range. Because it uses Find My network on iPhone devices it will send a location when anyone with iPhone and Find My walks near it, making items pretty fast to find if it’s in a populated area. That’s a massive feature and more important than gimmicky light switches etc. AirTag is for tracking, simple and on point. I understand AirTags are only exclusive to Apple users but saying Samsung smart tags are much better is bit of a stretch, better for Samsung users… sure.
The reason he didn't mention it is cause at the very beginning of the video he said and I quote "it does the exact same thing". It ping its location with other Samsung devices like the airtag does for iPhone but the smart tag has additional functionality since it can be tracked with the Bluetooth signal strength and have its range increased further still if you have a ultra wideband phone with the smartag plus as well as the nfc and button programming. He just wanted to cover the additional features which is why he glossed over the features everyone already knew about. To be fair he should have done a side by side comparison for people not familiar with all the features of either one like comparing ipx rating, sound, ease of use for the app, range, etc.
There are lots of people that have Samsung phones too.

Apple always plays these games where you have to buy something (loop) after you already bought something (airtag). Same story with no headphone jack and their other "upgrades". They take advantage of their customers, who overpay for less functionality.
I love the action button feature, but it looks like the AirTag might actually be better at allowing you to find things with that U1 chip. Those direction and distance notifications are pretty amazing.
Yes, your AirTag can be found through iPhones of other users, e.g. if your luggage got really lost (or stolen). So the AirTag cannot only be found if you are close to it but if any iPhone is close to it. But I think that Samsung does something similar through its Galaxy SmartThings-Find-Network.

@@OHCAM5 It has a button, Which is cool, but as a tracking device for your stuff if you have an Apple device, it is in many ways worse because it has precision finding and the big thing is the use of the "Find my network" allowing you to find it almost anywhere in the world so long as an Apple product has passed by it within Bluetooth range.
So to say that it is "BETTER!" and to "Forget Air tags" is clearly AT BEST click bait and at worse just a complete intentional mischaracterization of the products for monetary gain.

You're right there are millions of iphone users. But there are billions of samsung users. Samsung is leader in terms of quantity for a reason.

You are totally right. But Samsung fans, like this youtuber voluntary forget this essential element. And about privacy, that's the same: Apple designed Airtag with privacy respect first. Not Samsung. This is why they just announced an improvement...

what about privacy? accuracy? distance? The added features are cute, but seriously who is gonna use them to control anything? Most people buying this already have smart home tech, nobody walks around the house with keys. Nobody is gonna go find their keys to turn off a light.
Also, a reason Apple didnt make them with a key ring is to give you options on how to use them. Giving you flexibilty on where to place them, they’re not limited to just a key ring. I do like some of the customization options but those aren’t as important as privacy and accuracy.
It's not just a ring. You can track them without a ring.

Why would I want to control lights with an item tracker?
Plus, if the SmartTag does the same thing (and more) than the AirTag, then how come SmartTags don’t have Precision Tracking with a U1-like chip?
Also, the phone won’t let me know when the tag’s battery is low? I have to manually check battery levels for each tag? Not very ‘smart’ if you ask me!
It doesn't have to be lights. It can be programmed to control whatever you want eg for your car keys it can be made to open or close a garage so that it's more convenient and so having this option allows the tracker to be useful when it's not being used for tracking/finding
Smart tag plus does have precision tracking
And it's better than apples which has trouble with detecting height

But the one in my backpack, the one in my wallet, and the one in my luggage don't need it. For the one in my wallet it would even be somewhat of a waste of space. Considering that the SmartTag not only larger in diameter but also over 20% thicker, I'm glad that the AirTag in the wallet trades of the unnecessary hole for being more compact. Don't get me wrong, the hole in the SmartTags is very practical. I would like to have one in the AirTag, too. But I would also like the SmartTag to be less bulky if it has to fit in a wallet that I carry around in my jeans all day. I hope you are also able to see that trading in size for a practical hole has both up- & downsides. In the end, you cannot make the SmartTag smaller, but you can buy additional loops for AirTags super cheap, so I think the AirTags compact design is the better one-size-fits-all compromise (even better would be a solution like Tile, which just offers different shapes & forms).

AirTags have a built in NFC tag that can be read by any phone, not just iphones. That could be an advantage if it's lost. NFC also lets you create automations from the iphone Shortcut app. So yeah, you can make routines to open garage doors, turn on lights, get directions home, call the wife, or a million other things (pretty much any app you have on your phone). Kind of similar to your SmartTag example, except you scan it instead of pushing a button. Lots more customization options for AirTags too... if that's your thing. Anyway, I don't see either as clearly "better" than the other. It's a no-brainer to just choose whichever one matches your phone. Just wanted to point out a few things you missed.
Airtags doesn't work well with android. The nfc isn't available on all phones either.
Tile has a QR code one can scan with any phone. It then goes to a site providing information for contacting the Tile owner.
Most people would prefer to push a button to turn their lights off or open their garage door. That is more comfortable for home automation than NFC. Also, the Samsung tags have ultra-wide band and not just Bluetooth, which makes them more trackable and precise. And depending on your location, you could argue there are more Samsung phones devices on the road than iPhones, which means the network for tracking has more coverage. At least for worldwide tracking, Samsung beats Apple because the iPhone, while very popular in the US and Europe, it's almost non-existent in some places. If that is a concern for someone, travelling or global tracking and having precise location, the Samsung tags are probably a better choice.

You can see the battery status of the StartTag. That's really nice. So you can get an idea when it's time to replace it. Apple AirTag doesn't seem to have this feature.
I don't know how accurate the Smartag battery meter is. I placed a Smarttag under my wife's car back in March, 9 months later it shows that it has 90% battery life left, the owner's manual says the life of a battery is 8 months. So does this means that my Smartag's battery life will be 7 years? It's already 9 months going and only spent 10% battery life according to the app meter.
I don't know if it's accurate. I placed a Smarttag on my wife's car exactly 1 year ago in March 2022, the battery shows 96% full, that's impossible since the battery life was only supposed to last 8 months, it's a miracle it's still functioning 4 months overdue.

Thanks for the review! I found out the hard way that they don't work with my Pixel phone. But neither do Airtags, so Tile tracker is right for me.
He compares the SmartTag with the AirTag, without actually having an AirTag
gEnIUs
this guy is the biggest Samsung fanboy ive seen in my life
Yah.. very obvious..
There are 3rd party key holders by far way cheaper…anyways, the smart Tag works on not too old Samsung Galaxy phones, like AirTags on not too old iPhones. Both have pros and cons, but at the end, both work stunningly good.
I can tell ur a everybody gets a trophy type of person
@@lowrider94ss …we are in the Apple Garden, therefor I use Air Tags…I am stunned how good they work.
The whole point of these tags is how many OTHER devices will be able to detect them. Apple AirTags are detected by ALL Apple devices, iPhones, iPads, Macbooks etc. Chances are that your AirTag will be close to any such device at almost all times, thus you can always track it. These SmartTags by Samsung can ONLY be detected by Android phones and ONLY if they have the SmartThings app installed. How big are the chances that it will be near such a device? Not very likely, thus useless for tracking.
All you have to do is wait for 1 year and the tags will work with everybody since everybody buys new phones every year.
Smart tag is just more on controlling? So what if you lost your keys somewhere outside the range will ot locate your keys? Or will other android phones help locaye you keys or surrender and tag it as lost forever? Or pray someone using tile app and may be able to ping your tile tracker :\
Other galaxy will help you locate your lost tag.
@@angelinaastrid hmm so what is the market share of galaxy phone in US?
those dislikes from apple Employee
@2:57 "You're going to hear a beeping noise..." (Time on phone is 57 minutes) "....and after a few seconds" (Time on phone is 59 minutes) lmao
Ha Samsung even gave those free with the flagships.....and Apple is asking 30 and 30$for a loop(a coloured rubber band for 30fuckin $)
apple itag $30 irubber iloop $20 warranty apple care for the apple loop 45$. apple gives free air inside the box of the apple tags not just any air its Tim Cooks farts mmm mmm good am loving it.
apples "find my" network is superior and noone surpass it even the ones that copy its concept cause there will be less detecting devices (phones) then there are iphones (that detect airtags).
I doubt there will ever be network like this among all android phones
@@mkriz2140 haha ur funny coz its Apple who copied the whole concept of Samsung smartags and came up with a half good product which Is only good for tracking........just take a look at this video and then comment ur stupid apple support
@@T0NYMANUEL iphones are the first that comes with "find my ..." network service that works even when the lost devices comes offline (samsung actually copied this in their phones). Now apple release AirTags that can be part of this network... Samsung smarttag is not even a competitor for airtag cause its work on bluetooth only, and due to this its have much more limited functions/usecases.... (even if samsung added smarttags to their "find my .." network it still would be so much worse than airtag cause density of galaxy devices with android 10 is so small you can track nothing (it needs android 10 to work).
So the fact that smarttag was first doesn't matter since it cannot compete with airtag... the mechanism of finding airtags is based on "find my iphone" and paradoxically its the function that samsung copied in their phones. I WILL POST SOURCE IN NEXT COMENT IF UA-cam DONT BLOCK IT SINCE IT WILL HAVE URL LINK
Im using Mi 10t pro btw. so no apple fanboy (apple watch, airtag, airpods are the only devices i like from them. unfortunately cant use them on android)
@@T0NYMANUEL no. Samsung only released these due to rumors of Apple airtags for over a year. Tile did it first but Apple did it best.
Saki what happened to that 1 week video after you switched from the s21 to the Oneplus 9 pro? Are you staying with the Oneplus or switching back to the S21 ultra?
It's coming in a few days.
Thanks! Now I am more convinced to buy an Airtag.

Now, are you also gonna make a reverse video with why Airtag is better than Galaxy tag?
Or you saying galaxy tag is straight up better in all ways?
The difference is that Apple has a huge community network. Samsung's Smartthings app network is much smaller. In addition, Apple tags can also be tagged by Android devices.
Also, you don't need to buy an holder for 35$, you can just buy it from third-party manufacturers for $ 2
No, android devices can read the NFC message on the airtag but that's it. His point is you have to by an extra accesory to be able to actually use it how it's intended to be used
@@OHCAM5 yes, ..you have to buy it for 2 bucks. 😀
@@danield.1707 but you have to buy it
@@OHCAM5 That's right, but.. I can customize it. And make it look beautiful 😀
Samsung has larger community since there are Samsung phones than iphones plus Samsung works with third party devices not only Samsung ones
I’m sorry but on aesthetics alone the air tags looks nicer. If I’m going to use a location gadget I might as well have something that looks nice. Plus if I want to control other devices in the house we have other gadgets for that. Is it going to make me breakfast as well? No! No one gadget can do everything.
If you have electric gate then Samsung tag is super convenient to open the gate through tag attached with the car key.
Nah smart tags looks nicer black looks much better than silver which easily gets scratched up
And you can customize what it controls for example if you attach it to your car keys you can make the button open and close your garage door so that way your one tracker can be both tracker for car keys and button for the Garage
So it makes it much more convenient and useful when the object isn't lost
@@eventusvantos2770 nah I'm staying with air tags. Thank you.
@@ronaldfabricante2158 you can pick whatever you want I'm just correcting/informing you
@@eventusvantos2770 no thanks
Smart Tag+ Works Precisely. The less than a dollar CR2032 Battery lasted More than a year. It doesnt give location when the battery is Too Low already But Still connect to my Phone when it's around 5 meter distance .
It’s unfair to compare smart tag with air tag. Compare it with smart tag + due to UWB capabilities. U don’t even do the correct comparisons. Air tags are generally better.
Does the Samsung tag have privacy features like air tag notifying people of they are being tracked?
No
Yes it does
@@eventusvantos2770 NO
@@suleymanaliev312 *yes it does
@@eventusvantos2770 No! I have 3 of them trust me.
Why do you have to compare SamsungTag to Apple AirTag? Why Samsung user always attack apple when they bring something new? Take your SamsungTag and let others take their AirTag... Apple AirTag all the way 😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
"hmm I can smell lies" "new"
I could definitely use this for my Wallet
Hello! Compatible with iPhone? Could you make a video testing it, please?
Doubt it if so it’s probably very limited like the Samsung ear pods. Likewise airtags won’t work with Samsung phones. AirPods work but very limited. Same for the watches. So comes down to see the smart tags so much “better” you’d switch ecosystems.
Turn on off lights . Wow
You can do more if you want
You can unlock your door, turn off your washing machine, etc
I’ve seen several comparison videos between the Airtags, this crap and the Tile thingies. And the Airtags always has been better over the other 2
ua-cam.com/video/9wefUV_bR0Y/v-deo.html
Depends which country you live in lol... most people buy Samsungs globally so in those countries the smarttag is better... in the US/Japan the airtag is better since there will be someone else nearby with the same product.
use it for a "I've fallen, and I can't get up!" button. LOL
Control the lights? That’s what I got my phone for. I just want to attach it & forget it.
Ring my phone? That’s what I got my Apple Watch for.
Precision Finding is also better than “hot & cold”.
AirTags for the win.
Thats why there will be the Smarttag +
@@probablyKonstantin And then there will be the AirTag 2.

Thank you so much, Saki! 🙏 Finally someone is shouting out for the Galaxy SmartTags. And of course I expected you to do this. Everyone is just talking about AirTags 🍏. I even found one video claiming, the AirTags were cheaper than Samsung's SmartTags, which is not true, as you always need some accessories to fix them to a key or whatever.
Can you please tell me if my Daughter will get an alert that she's being tracked with my Smart Tag? She has an iPhone. She's 16 and I'm giving her my car
The amazing thing about Apple Airtag is that it connects to any iPhone around to send the location. Does Samsung tag do it?
Yes it is, see 4:07 it says that youll get help from other samsung device if you lost your smart tags.
funny, the first wallpaper on your phone is my in my home town :D it calls * Hokitika Gorge* :) also thanks for video
The main appeal of the airtag is the extensive network of iphones that the tags can ping off of as opposed to Tile only pinging off other Tile owners. I'd assume the same would happen for this tag. Also the close range direction tracking is pretty impressive. Assigning a function sounds kinda unless since I'd be putting it on stuff I don't really carry. Can't lose my keys when your car and door are unlocked with your phone.
This video is talking about the Smart Tag, not TILE, which are two completely different products. With that said, the SmartTag does require a phone with SmartThings app installed, and it is a common app amongst Android phones. Still a much higher percentile than TILE specific owners.
@Double Vision does it actually use other android devices or just samsung devices?
@Double Vision maybe in your location anyone around me hundreds people all iPhone. Maybe it’s because I’m in America we all can afford iPhones even homeless they hand money out like crazy. And no that android device doesn’t use other androids to get its location. The AirTag uses every single iPhone in the world.
@Double Vision Android leads by 70-20 on the world scale, but the iPhone has more users in the United States specifically.
@@willlindsay6753 hi , i have a samsung . So lets say i bought a smarttag and placed it in my work truck . If it got stolen and they drove further than the 120 meters away from my phone. I would not be able to get signal from the smarttag? thanks
Forget Sakitech UA-cam channel definitely because non-objective videos, especially this one.
I like UA-cam when the youtubers are objective.
That is to say when they have no bias.
Are they paid by certain brands to put these brands on a pedestal, to extol their products by demolishing their biggest competitors in a non-objective way?
That's a very good question...
Either way, Sakitech is making money through the link for the Samsung product sold by Amazon.
So, my advice, to find objective videos, go see other youtubers, not Sakitech ...
But you need to be in Bluetooth range to use it?
The airtag has the Find my network behind it, with just about every iphone and apple device around it reporting its location. the galaxy smarttag does not. bluetooth range vs people around you with iphones
the smart tags use other galaxy phones the same way the find my network uses iphones and apple devices.
For some reason no one compared the apple vs Samsung tags.
Probably cause they don't want to piss Apple Off 🤣
Thanks for the the review, but it seems that Apples has a key feature that Samsungs Smarttag doesnt. If you put the apple tag in some accessory and you lost the accessory in the train or in the bus, all iphone-network near the apple tag you lost will help you to find your accessory because a notification message will be sent to you with the location of your tag and the iPhone that give that location will not be notified and it will not even know it. This is a key feature (and "smartest") in apple tags if someone stole an accessory with your apple tag hidden inside it, or you just lost the items by far then bluetooth technology range limitation. Samsungs smarttag has the limitation of 120m range maximum, and thats it. It does not exactly kills the apple tag convenience.
No, Samsung ones do the same, I lost a galaxy watch recently, and it was close to a galaxy device and it sent me a notification of where it was, it was stolen and whomever took it, turned it off so I wasn't able to get it back, but Samsung devices work with that feature too, if the device is marked as lost, and it passed by a Samsung phone, it will send you a notification, the 120m range is for when you are using the arrow feature that tell you exactly in what direction it is, airtags have basically the same range for that feature, so there is not that much difference in that
It's only Bluetooth range though, airtags from Apple ping signals off any iPhone so if a iPhone passes by it will update the signal. If someone takes something it will keep updating you.
Both are good (each for its ecosystem)
You can also ring your phone with the Smart Tag too, if you can't find your phone
Oh you can turn on the lights with it, cool! 🙄 it does the same the light switch does! I’m getting an airtag for what it is, Apple products never disappoint.
In Philippines, Police conduct a manhunt operation against a group of criminals who committed a robbery. A group of robbers break a car's windows and stole a bag which is owned by an Attorney. The Attorney remembers that his bag has an airtag and with the help of the Police, they followed the direction and the place gave by the airtag and stops in a place where the criminals starting unloading stuffs they stole from people on that day, not knowing the Police are already in front of them.
Will this show live updates on where my lost keys are if someone moves them after I realize they're missing, or does it just show the general area of the last time the smart tag was connected to my phone's Bluetooth?
I've been a long time Tile user and tried smart tag as well, finally the Apple air tags beat out the two former just flat out due to the network they have.
Yep ever iPhone user in world gives you location. Not androids this tile only off your phone. And you can buy 4 AirTag accessories of Amazon for 8$.
Not true, iphones has to have ios 14.5 or later to track from other iphones. Samsung has to have smartthing app running to track from other samsung phones.
@@lukelee3 ios14 as of June 2021 is on 85% of all iPhones, 90% 4 years or newer.
One more thing you can do with the Samsung SmartTag is use it to locate your phone. If you can't find your phone in the house, click the button and your phone will ring at max volume. Awesome feature.
Holy crap that phone was a little slow…
SmartTags are not good, but air tags are even better than smartTags.
I prefer apple i don't like samsung
Dude , you do know I set up my Air Tags in like 4 seconds while it took you almost a month to set yours up right?
ua-cam.com/video/9wefUV_bR0Y/v-deo.html
I think AirTags are better at providing the exact location... Because more often than not you're looking for things that aren't huge in size.. like keys, wallet etc. And for locating those things AirTags are better
Samsung actually has the smartag plus now which are better than the normal one and samsung has upgraded the feature now for in case someone pops one in your bag,so then you can see if someone is tracking you
No its not
No they aren't. Tests have proved it.
And so what happens if your smart tag is more then the 360 ft or whatever, like what if it goes into another state? Bluetooth won't be able to find that.
How about the comparison in terms of range ? What is the range for Air Tag ? It would be better if you could locate this device by a gps module. (Like find my phone) Approx 100 m range is such a disappointment. Why would i need it for short distances ? I could lose my belongings somewhere and be aware when i come at home. so what is the point ?
Most people just use it to find their car keys in the house, what a bunch of losers!!
Excellent! Hadnt realised Apple Air Tags needed a separate loop. This SmartTag looks great
All irrelevant unless you have Samsung phone.
Are u kidding me air tags way more Advanced
I love how it only uses one button to control things
The AirTags will be much better. The Design much better than these Samsung things. I mean look at them they’re so bulky.
