Why you should buy the Samsung Galaxy Smart Tag 2

The Samsung Galaxy Smart Tag 2 is shaped sort of like a tag label, stays powered for 500+ days, and has an IP67 rating for nearly-perfect water and dust protection. It uses Samsung’s SmartThings app to track your objects from a distance an up close, too — you can get the app to force the tag to make an audible signal to find your keys, even when they’re buried in the cushions or are hiding under that cracked-open book. Loud atmosphere or hard of hearing? There’s also a compass director to help you find your gear.

Now, all of this might seem somewhat familiar if you’re knowledgeable of the Apple AirTag, a product that’s name recognition eclipses the Samsung Galaxy Smart Tag 2’s by miles. (As an aside, I’ve been writing about AirTags for years and years now, and was surprised as could be that Amazon tells us the Galaxy Smart Tag 2 has over 6,000 sales in the past month.) But how do the AirTag and Smart Tag 2 compare? We’ve found that it differs somewhat by country, as different countries have different levels of the tracking network’s devices being used. As per our investigator, “I’ve found that the performance varies considerably. In the US, Europe, and the Middle East, I found that the Galaxy Tag outperformed the AirTag in terms of reliability and consistency, and the location history feature is something that Apple’s tracker doesn’t have.”

All of this means that you’ll probably prefer this to an Apple AirTag if you live, like most of our readers, in the US or Europe. If you’re from India, however, you may prefer the Apple Airtag.

If you’re wanting to get this deal be sure to tap the button below. Right now you can get a Samsung Galaxy Smart Tag 2 in white for just $17 at Amazon. That’s a savings of $13 off of the original $30 and an excellent deal.

Google may finally ditch Samsung’s modem in the Pixel 11, and Tensor G6 could be better for it
FCC paperwork for Google’s next foldable points to MediaTek, raising hopes for lower power use and a cleaner break from Tensor’s Exynos roots
AI recreation of Pixel 11's Pixel Glow feature.

Google may be preparing its biggest Tensor hardware split yet. As spotted by Android Authority, FCC testing for an unreleased foldable Google phone includes a reference to MediaTek radio-frequency software, adding weight to reports that the Pixel 11’s Tensor G6 could leave Samsung’s Exynos modem behind.

Every previous Tensor chip has used Samsung modem hardware. Changing suppliers won’t guarantee better battery life or reception, but it gives Google a fresh path after years of leaning on the same underlying technology.

Apple’s iPhone Ultra could one-up the Galaxy Z Fold 7 with a bigger battery
4,883mAh total capacity, two cells, and two screens drawing power. Somewhere between "fine" and "I hope Apple's software does the heavy lifting."
Electronics, Phone, Mobile Phone

Apple's foldable iPhone is getting closer to its September announcement. Despite rumors of a delay, a recent report claimed that Foxconn is hiring temporary workers to ramp up production of the Ultra. Now we have a number for one of its most important specs: the battery.

I'll be honest: when I saw the battery figure, my reaction was somewhere between "that works" and "I was hoping for more."

Specs like a 7,000-nit display and MagSafe-style magnetic wireless charging belong in a conversation that often includes flagships, but it looks like Motorola wants to break that norm.
