Couple of things to clarify: The person I was chasing had all of his devices in Flight Mode, which blocks all wireless connections, including Bluetooth to the tags and 5G to the Apple / Samsung servers I pressed the refresh button in the Samsung app, but all it actually does is ask Samsung's servers for an update, it can't contact the tag directly unless you're within Bluetooth range yourself We went to the centre of the 6th most populated UK city and sat in a restaurant with other people around. If it needs a more populated area than this then it's not much use This video wasn't intended to be an in depth review, but a little test for fun, but that doesn't mean I'm going to run an unfair test

you used it wrong though, the refresh button isn't even needed, what you need is the Navigation option and every nearby Samsung devices will ping the tag, bridging back to your phone (encrypted data, not letting stalkers slide like AirTag) and you should get the right location

indeed. I remember a video from about a year or two ago of someone running the gamut with no phone but a Samsung, iPhone, and tile tags walking around London. Samsung did pretty frequent updates, then tile, and airtag. In the few places where the airtag pinged, it always showed up about two minutes after the nearest Samsung, ping location. In the end I find the best choice is really region dependant. Feels like US and maybe some parts of UK Airtags are gonna do better. Europe and Canada its a Toss up. Asia it seems to win with Samsung (in Japan certainly I can be in the next prefecture without a new ping)

I don't think you understand how the Samsung Tag works. It doesn't need other Samsung phones to have the Smart Things app installed. It will ping any Samsung phone or tablet within range, that was produced withing the last around 5-6 years, and will use that to share a location. The reason you only got pinged once, is that it was a rainy day (few ppl outside), and he walked on very unpopulated places, and then stayed outside a very unpopulated cafe. It's not ideal, but these things depend on the population around. If you choose a sunnier day so that more people are outside and you chose a more populated location, you will get much better result. So this test that you performed was very badly planned and executed. It poorly informs the people about how the tag actually works and it really doesn't explain anything about the differences and advantages of each tag. It doesn't explain about UWB, it doesn't explain about the battery life, it doesn't even mention the new NFC info that the Samsung Tag2 has. You didn't make the effort to research the technology well, and since you didn't know it well, you couldn't present it well. Overall pretty disappointing.

The thing is its not his fault the tag didn't work well. I would blame samsumg objectively even as a samsung s23 ultra owner. You can't have the expectation that weather will be great and people will be around when an item with your tag is stolen. Even if theres not many people around that's not his fault. 23 minutes is not okay and he pressed the refresh button. This is the reality of what can happen even in a dense city center. I think samsung has some work to do. I was suprised there wasn't a ping to a device at least inside a neaby building.

I had a good trial run when I tested the tags out in Paris. I made the mistake of using my Google Pixel 7 as the data source (hotspot) and my Samsung S23 using that hotspot. the accuracy was very poor when doing it this way and the tags were very delayed when I did it this way. (note that my tags where paired to my Samsung S23) At the last day of our stay in Paris, I switched the data source so Data coming directly from the Samsung S23 now and not the Pixel and the accuracy of each tag I had jumped to almost more accurate location of where it was. Now that I am back in Canada with them, I can track the tag more real time also helps if you constantly press the refresh button to see where and if they moved.

I would love to see you repeat this experiment, but "train" the Galaxy Smarttag 2. As I understand your set up, the Apple tag may have had an advantage because it was already in service for a period of time before you started the Galaxy device. I enjoyed your method, but I would not rely on it for "complete" review until you have adjusted the process a bit. I like some of the other recommendations from other commenters. Thanks for your work and stay warm!

There are plenty of Samsung phones, issue is Samsung doesn't enable offline Samsung network by default and it only asks once to enable it after 1-2 days phone setup (after that a user has to go and look for offline finding switch inside 5-6 submenus, witch only technical minded people will do) I guess less then 0.5% of Samsung phones have the offline finding network enabled where as iphone/iPad users have it enabled by default when you setup the phone (user has to actively go out of there way to turn it off)

That was a fun video. It just shows that the tags themselves, whether airtag or smarttag2, do the exact same thing. The success totally depends on by passers and the brand phone they are carrying for relaying the tag position their phone has picked up from the tag. A con for the smarttag is that a by passers Samsung phone only relays the tag position if they have the smartthings app installed. It wasn’t installed on mine by default.

Ive got dozens of Smart Tags (old version) and a few of the new and all worked perfect even outside the EU (I travel a lot) so there was something wrong at the start. I lost the keys 2 times and I found them thanks to the tag. And also use the tag to locate where I parked my cars, cause sometimes I go for a long time without using them, and I always know where they are, and even if someone has used any of them because of the 7 day location history.... So... Smart tags are worth it, they work as they're intended, and will help you when you need them.

The phone asks you first time setting it up, if you turn it on your phone will ping tags and other devices and it also allows you to track your own phone if it ever gets lost without data, but i assume in the UK most people have iPhones and the Samsung users didnt turn it on un their settings.

In contrast to Apple AirTag's reliance on nearby Apple devices, Samsung's tracking technology utilizes the Android ecosystem, creating a mesh network with any nearby Android devices for location updates. While Android boasts a vast network globally, regions with fewer Android devices may experience limited location updates. Consequently, in areas with a higher concentration of Samsung devices, such as parts of Asia, Africa, and Australia, Samsung's tracking device may offer enhanced precision and functionality due to increased compatibility with local Android devices.

I recently bought smarttag, i gave it to my boyfriend and told him to go somewhere. The tag showed where he is 40 minutes after he left me. It's useless most of the time and there are some reasons. First of all, those who are buying Samsung they like the fact that they can control their phone. So most of the samsung's phone users have their phone's nearby device scanning option off. Or they usually turn off their bluetooth and this feature on samsung got out recently. But usually apple phone users don't have much control on their phone so all phones mostly do the same thing in finding nearby devices. So, I do ask samsung users to turn on the feature of "nearby device scanning" on in their phone. 😊

I am debating getting one to put on my scooter because of the high level theft of them living in the city i am in, this is the only video i seen where the apple air tag out performed the samsung tag also seeing it perform this poorly is a red flag for me something seems a little bit off... judging by his language he uses "just to be fair to the samsung tag" seems to have implied bias of the product...

@@supernova82 probably there was more samsung phones on the area than iphones, but the thing is all the sets that the tag need to work properly doesnt come as default on any phone and most of the users doesnt seem to be very interested on this so they wont turn on or install anything, while Apple make all that sets as default in order to the airtag work properly, so users dont need to turn on anything or install anything, thats the big difference, and thats why airtag has no rival yet.

​​​@@christophergarcia1154 Samsung users don't have to install anything in order to get the tag to work. The phone detects the tag automatically and you just have to go through the set up process just like with airtags. All Galaxy devices come with the SmartThings app pre-installed like the Find My on iPhones.

@@christophergarcia1154 That is a good point. Another thing to consider is the usage of Samsung vs iPhone in the particular area where you are traveling. The places where I usually travel have mostly Samsung or Android users. I think the safest bet is to use both trackers. Although I wish to have a chepaer GPS tracker with a global SIM card.

Well they rely on other samsung phones being near them and if you live somwhere where there aren't many samsung users it wont work as well. Also samsung doesnt automatically turn it on for every phone because many people dont want it and dont use it, so apple definitely has an advantage. I dont know the situation in Mozambique but it would be very interesting to test this all over, im sure in Korea you get the best samsung results and in the US the best apple results

I bought 2 x of these new Samsung tags, and the experience has been highly disappointing.

I did not expect such poor quality from a Samsung product, and would not recommend it.

I see alot of mad Samsung users in the comments. But to be completely honest, it depends 100% on who happens to pass by with a compatible phone. That's it. Luck of the draw. In this particular test, it just happened that someone in the restaurant or on the patio had an iphone. I'm an iphone guy, but I wouldn't say either one is necessarily "better" than the other. They do the same damn thing, and it's mostly blind luck. Either one could ping faster on any given day depending on who walks past. Just saying.

Totally agreed. I think the issue people have is that this video is very flawed and doesn't give the proper analysis. Your simple response is more informative than this whole video. When Google implements their own tracker it'll have the biggest user base of any tracker on the market. Android is the most used OS in the world and it will ping off Samsung phones in addition to any other Android phone. That's the biggest advantage right there but to your point yes it still comes down to luck

Lots of harsh samsung die hards in the comment section. I think you did a great realistic video. It not your fault the tag didn't work well. I would blame samsumg objectively even as a samsung s23 ultra owner. You can't have the expectation that weather will be great and people will be around when an item with your tag is stolen. Even if theres not many people around that's not your fault. 23 minutes is not okay and you pressed the refresh button. This is the reality of what can happen even in a dense city center. I think samsung has some work to do. I was suprised there wasn't a ping to a device at least inside a neaby building.

It's not about tag. I will depend on network of smartphone. So, if you go over place where there is many samsung users then obviously samsung will do better and vice versa. 9:13 The only thing that he missed is he should have pinged the tag and find the location with smartphone first. He just went and searched the person and not the tag itself.

​@ArdaSReal Research before coment naively, you can also disable in IPhone, the thing is, and IPhone user is also less likely messing around in the settings app, if you normally turn off the Bluetooth in the toggle in notifications panel that just turns it off for a couple of hours, you have to enter settings to completely disable Bluetooth, and for having the Bluetooth on in IPhone the tracker works, instead in Android you can have the Bluetooth on but not the tracking option, and a lot of people disable it cause of battery life, not matter how much more features the smarttag may have, the larger user base in Airtags means they going to be better at tracking

What phone does the person being tracked have? He has an apple watch so he probably has an iPhone with him giving his apple tag a major unfair advantage. His phone should have been switched off so it wouldn't influence the test. This video is very poorly thought through. You should delete it and redo the test
