@@markjoehn8528 In fact, AirTags work with all Apple devices as long as there is the FindMy app. However, if you want to pair an AirTag (activate to use it after u buy it), then you need and iPhone with the FindMy (or ios). For iPhone 11 or above, due to the presence of the U1 Chip, it can help find AirTags BETTER with Precision Finding (which you can follow the arrows and find your tag precisely). Other iphone works but you can only see the approximate location on the map and play a sound to locate it. Hope this helps :)

But it only compared networks, not actual bluetooth range in the field between the tracker and your phone. For instance, I go up to the mountains a lot and with howling winds or other noises I need a loud device with a the best range assuming my phone is the only device that can reach the tracker. If my tracker is in the car or a cabin 600 feet away or under a bush, which will I find and hear more clearly?

[@DamirMaatar]

Wasn't expecting the smartag to work this well, thought it would be last because airtag is well known and tile was the big thing before apple introduced airtag. The fact that it worked better than an airtag with UWB kinda says a lot about how widespread Galaxy phones really are. It looks a bit bulky though

[@mikewedge808]

Apple has the "for the lay masses" thing. Which really, makes it the worst out of any product for any use.

[@GarryOzols]

Probably the only country in the world where iPhone ownership at 57%, is larger than Samsung or Android phone ownership is the US. The global average of Android devices is currently at around 70% so I would have been more surprised that a test conducted in the UK showed Ithe Air Tag to be better. It does depend on the user base of both devices as to how many times it gets pinged. I have owned phones from both camps and while I prefer my Samsung phones I have to say the best phone I have ever had for pulling in a weak signal was my original Iphone, It worked in places no Nokia or Motorolla or Blackberry (yes I am that old) would even show a single par of signal.

I bought a 4-pack of AirTags, but I won’t get them until sometime in June. I did do the engraving, which takes some additional time, I think. I will track my keys and luggage when I travel. I like your comparisons and I already own Tike trackers. One time I left my key on top of my car and drove away and lost the key. To find it with the tile tracker I had to retrace my steps and have my own phone detect the tile basically. I like the larger network of Apple and Samsung. I am an Apple phone owner so I pretty much just went with Apple for that reason.

@@antimono @DontBanMeBroDontBanMe! I think you both got it wrong. AirTags play a sound if it detects an unknown iphone in its close proximity (for a period of time). Its idea is to prevent stalking people with an AirTag placed on their person.

There are tutorials how to remove the speaker, so it can't ring.

[@zoezzzarko1117]

How did it work out?

[@bradirvin919]

Ok, I have to point out something. The best tag is the one that works best for what you intend to use it for. Consider that most people will be using these to locate their phone, keys, or wallet / bag. These are items that are typically going to be "lost" in persons home, vehicle, or workplace. In cases where you already know the general vicinity, the form factor and volume will be the most important aspects of the tracker. In this scenario the Tile would probably win. The credit card tile is extremely thin, and the pro is very loud and also very thin. So the ability to call a phone from your keys or wallet, or vice versa is going to be a lot more useful for a lot of people.

[@glassmw9823]

Brad agreed 💯

[@cheeserock4]

The other thing what I was thinking about Chipolo is, that the company is located in the EU and therefore has to obey EU data protection laws. Bit in terms of tracking capabilities I would liked to have it included in the test.

I like air tags more since it feels more easy

Thank you for the information 🙏. This video was exactly what I needed

[@lyndarussell241]

Awesome information! And very timely for me! Thank you!

[@lizzo001]

AirTags with their NFC chip can act as a trigger for Siri Shortcuts for the owners phone and still keep its tracking capabilities and would be interesting to know how Apple’s AirTag app for other phones functions too

[@Alex-kr7zr]

It doesn't work at all.

[@TheDawnofVanlife]

Yeah, you can identify a lost airtag on phones with the right chip. But it’s clunky at best. And you can’t actually setup and use airtag on a non-iphone.

[@jeremiahekow]

great review, and not bias which i win one of the AirTags

[@roboticvenom1935]

Yeah samsung smart tags are much better

There is an s21 but I just saw a 21s Samsung wat?

[@justsomeguy478]

Have several of the tiles (normal and pro) , like them. But have been looking at the Samsung's.

[@dontbanmebrodontbanme5403]

Tile is only good if you lose something in your house. Even then, it doesn't have location finding like Apple and Samsung have. If you lose something at an airport or something like that, unless someone walks by with the tile app and it's also running in the background, it won't ping the network. * If you have an iPhone, get the airtag * If you have a Samsung, get their tracker If you have no other choice, get the tile, but recognize if you lose your keys at a bar, good luck!

[@larsnewbould456]

Good work, my dude. Exactly what I was looking for.

[@DucatiPaso750]

The best review I've seen so far regarding these trackers.

[@saw2273]

I love how you brushed over the fact that you can install SmartThings on other Android devices not just Samsung you can just download the APK and the bass settings files import them

[@drelectron3257]

On my android I can install SmartThings no problem, but the app forces me to update and the updated SmartThings won't connect to my SmartTag and gives the dialog that I need a Galaxy phone. Do you have a workaround?

[@johnrperry5897]

It's amazing how much tile lacked any kind of innovation since they had such a huge lead on this market

[@glassmw9823]

Eh…Tile didn’t have the financial means mega-corps like Apple and Samsung did. They also waited years after Tile brought the idea to the market and improved on it. Also, do either Apple’s or Samsung’s products allow the device to ring your phone? I don’t believe so

[@glassmw9823]

@@johnrperry5897 thanks John. This is where Apple frustrates me and likely so many others. They could have had that functionality in the initial AirTag release. Kudos to Samsung for doing so in theirs. But yeah, for that reason alone I got my family a set of Tile trackers over AirTags. Since my family doesn’t have Samsung devices, I think that ruled out the Samsung option.

Aaaaarh I finnally found the video I was looking for! Thank you!

[@FlorinArjocu]

I really hope the next version of SmartTag comes with a more flexible design so it can get third party accesories (or from Samsung) that can fit better into a necklace / etc. Otherwise they seem to be good products, I have 2 of them.

[@photelegy]

It's sad that only Tile makes this slim (EC-card sized) tracker. I really hope Apple or Samsung make this form factor aswell.

[@NYFan77]

Yeah if only it worked. My wife lost her 1 week old slim in her wallet and it does not update. Total junk. I got a call from someone who found it and plan to return this junk when I pick it up.

[@OHCAM5]

Tile need to have the app running in the background. The Galaxy tag or Airtag don't need this.

[@quuxjn2452]

I'm pretty sure that Apple and Samsung do this to but because it's embedded into their system it won't show up as because it's not a dedicated app running.

[@charlesrichards5389]

Yeah, the Tile app drained my battery too much.

Tile will soon connect to Amazon’s Sidewalk network, so their coverage will be extensive.

still useless IMO. Most have opted out of the sidewalk BS and you require a subscription when the other options here do not.

[@jamiliminaya9944]

i like the video and the explanation of each product, i just wish you included a complete comparison for the battery life and the extra price for replacement batteries. you only talked about the tile battery life.

[@cano2x]

AirTag DOES have the AR feature. In the app you have to touch your name 5 times to drop down other features and settings where you can toggle the AR feature

[@kspade1788]

If you have to dig thru settings and put in effort just to find a feature that is “rumored” to have, then it’s a fail on the product/feature tbh. Who in their right mind would repeatedly clicked the name for 5 times? Even when I’m bored and just randomly test things out, max I’ll do is double tap

[@wixostrix]

I'm a big fan of Tile. I've been using them for years and many of their form factors. They certainly aren't perfect but they usually get the job done. The tracking tests makes sense though. While Tile has a sizeable network, it obviously doesn't compare to the amount of Samsung and iPhone out there. A few things that were missed regarding Tiles subscription thigh was that they do give you battery replacements, lost item reimbursement, replacements if damaged or defects, and let's you share so items can be tracked by others; So it does provide some value. This was a great review.

[@TheDawnofVanlife]

All of this!! That’s why I still mostly use Tile. Also no matter what phone I get, Tile works with it and gets the job done.
