[@kalokchan5160]

@@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 :)

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.

But it only compared networks, not actual bluetooth range in the field between the tracker and your phone.

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?

The airtag is affected mostly by the number of apple devices in the area so it will work better in areas where apple has a higher market share.

@@tech_glide I don't know. I only have Galaxy Note and Tab.

[@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]

Definitely. I only ever lose my keys and wallet in my house so I don’t need to track them. Tile does what I need plus IF I need to, it can track them.

You don't have to play a sound if you don't want to. Playing the sound is only if the item is near you somewhere and you still don't see it, so you play the sound.

@@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.

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.

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

[@Xrystian]

I have the SmartTag+ and i love it! I once left my keys at school and i wouldn't have them right if i didn't have the SmartTag+, also one extra feature for the + is UWB, it shows which way you have to move via the camera with supported devices. Just like the AirTag.

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.

[@wildlifesimon]

Hey, great video. However, didnt see any information on range (finding someones samsung device/network) for example. Do you know the range details?

[@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.

[@DucatiPaso750]

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

[@suleymanaliev312]

I told you Smart tag is the best

[@nabilrejwan8135]

I like air tags more since it feels more easy

[@jonnyreverb]

I had a cheap go phone around 2010 that had GPS and bluetooth. You could track it anywhere, and there was no contract. Can you just get one of those and service it for the GPS if you need it? Maybe get a small one, hide it in your car, and activate it if it gets stolen...?

[@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.

[@soupboi8159]

Will a iPhone (2020) SE work with the precision finding? For the airtag?

[@32ammxr17]

Conclusion: If you have an iPhone, buy the Apple AirTag. If you have a Samsung phone, buy the SmartTag or the SmartTag+. If you have neither, buy the Tile counterpart.

[@NYFan77]

If you have neither then skip it all together or figure out a way to make AirTag connect to Android lmao. Tile is worthless and never finds crap once it losses connection to your phone.

[@MikeFoxtrot1]

Can you explain how they work? I always though they only work within Bluetooth range.

[@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.

[@filipe9916]

Amazing work and information! the only video i needed to watch to know everything i was needing

[@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?

[@lesternielson9280]

Do any of them work when placed inside a car?

[@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

[@ScienceisRadAF]

Are you not able to use the Samsung tracker via the SmartThings app (on any device)? If you can, then what functionality is available only to those with a Samsung phone?

[@CVD1997]

I'll definitely use it to track my house and car keys. So glad Apple finally gave us air tags, if it wasn't for my series 5 Apple watch my iPhone would have been long gone.

[@jsavage62]

Track your house? Ha ha

I accidentally dropped my Smarttag in a bus and managed to track the bus entire route for several days. Managed to get by pure coincidence when I got on the bus with my tag.

[@josericardogs1435]

Wow, the Smart Tag is really great, good job Samsung

[@GregAtlas]

I know the Samsung and the Tile had alternative ringer options, but did any of them have the option to set up or download custom or additional ringer options?

[@riickyworld1]

Review the T-Mobile tracker also. They have their own. With LTE connectivity.

Great video! Enjoyed how you compared each of them. Now I can shop for which to give as gifts for Christmas!Thanks

You should have started the video with the disclaimer, Air tag only works with Apple while Smart tag only works with Samsung

I have an AirTag on my dog’s collar. What are the pros and cons? I see pet tracking devices with monthly fees around $30/month! So the AirTag seems like a good deal. I have an iPhone. Thanks

[@dannnyyang]

iOS devices have to upgrade to 14.5 to have nearby find enable, probably why it didn’t ping as frequently

My question is does the Smart Tag only ping off of Samsung devices or Android devices in general. And if it does ping off of Samsung devices... What Samsung devices does it ping off of or what model phones?

[@timhartherz5652]

I kinda miss piezoelectric speakers for ringtones, they were crisp and clearly audible in almost any environment, through bags, walls, and over background noise. Sure it is nice to have "HD" audio for media playback, but i also want to NOTA miss a phonecall. Try to ignore an old Nokia when it's ringing, even at half the max volume, i dare you.

[@xYOSIYAx]

When he said the Airtag has a more modern speaker I said to myself “I want the piezoelectric speaker just for the sounds it makes”

[@spiderman3fan]

I’m looking into adding a tracker on my class binder. I want to make sure if I lose it that I’ll find it. Would it be overkill to put both an AirTag and SmartTag in it? I have an iPhone

[@harrickvharrick3957]

I would have liked to hear about their ability to give a (getting) out of reach warning - so a audible warning when you forget something and are starting to move away from it; when the BT connection gets lost, your smartphone starts to bleep (and vice versa). Reviews never seem to get into that desirable function and even parties that sell these devices most often don't even mention it with those that have that ability!

[@nathanpinnock9541]

My AirTag does that. Nice feature if you want to use it.

[@shahjigar]

can we configure samsung smarttag with google assitant ? like "find my keys" thing ?

[@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!

[@chevy5137]

Since I am fully in the Samsung line with a Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G a Samsung Tab S8 Ultra and a Samsung Galaxy Watch4 Classic I went ahead and ordered a Samsung Smart Tag and Smart Tag Plus so I can compare the difference between them, I am still waiting for them to arrive and can't wait to test them.

[@CarltonMasonNorwood]

I started purchasing Tile when they first came out. They were one of the only options. I live in a rural area with around 1 bar signal. I have a Tile slime which is fairly new. And it's sitting in my wallet 2 feet away and it cant find it. It can find my other tiles nearby. The sound isn't too loud when inside a jacket or backpack. It's super faint. The app is suspicious. It does make you pay to have simple functionality. I'm going with Samsung since I'm android. Thanks for the video. ✌

[@sbcreigh]

Great video man! You deserve more views. You should do a SmartTag2 update
