The rollout of Android’s Find My Device network encountered several challenges, but Samsung has emerged with top-quality trackers in the form of a 4-pack of SmartTag2s, now available for $64.99 on Amazon.
While the Moto Tag sparked initial interest for those utilizing the Find Hub (previously known as Find My Device), it ultimately falls short compared to Apple’s Find My network due to some restrictive safety features that come enabled by default.
Samsung’s SmartTag2 offers a reliable solution, consistently proving to be the most precise in our testing. These trackers are ideal for any user of Samsung devices. However, users should be aware that they are only compatible with Galaxy phones and tablets, making them the premier alternative to Apple’s AirTags for those within the Samsung ecosystem. At just $65, we highly endorse their purchase for Samsung phone owners.
For those without a Samsung device willing to explore a workaround, a modified uTag app can enable functionality with most Android phones. However, we advise against this method due to potential bugs, which could complicate tracking lost belongings.
Alternatively, for individuals without Samsung devices who prefer not to use third-party applications, Chipolo has introduced a 4-pack of its POP Android-compatible trackers priced at $75. While these basic trackers do not feature ultra-wideband (UWB) technology, they integrate with the Find Hub/Find My Device network, offering a straightforward solution for those who only require simple tracking. Their colorful designs also add a touch of personality that many competitors lack.
