The newly launched smart tag also comes with Ultra Wideband capabilities and can last for 500 days on normal mode and up to 700 days on Power Saving Mode as per the company’s claim.

The Galaxy SmartTag2 has a compact size and ring-shaped design. It has a large metal loop to enhance product durability and can support accessories such as clips and keyrings. It is IP67 rated for water and dust resistance.

Coming to its security features, the device’s location is only to be made available with the user’s permission. Furthermore, disabling Lost Mode immediately hides the owners’ contact information and deletes the message left by the owner from the device.

For Samsung Galaxy users, SmartThings Find can also provide security through its “Unknown tag alerts” feature. This feature alerts users of any unauthorized tracking by sending them a notification if SmartThings Find detects an unknown SmartTag following them.

Galaxy SmartTag2 also works with SmartThings Station, which serves as an always-at-home device scanner. It helps users keep track of valuables that have a SmartTag attached and alerts users a tagged item moves too far from the SmartThings Station.
