[@techmed-rainer]

Thank you for providing this comparison! When the Galaxy SmartTags came out, there wasn't a great response in the tech community and if so, they said "oh, wait for Apple's AirTags". Then, when Apple's AirTags came out, bug hype of a lot of tech KZbinrs and no comparison with or even mentioning of the SmartTags. For me personally I prefer the SmartTags just because I'm more into the Samsung Universe aka Galaxy.

[@ThisIsTechToday]

They’re so platform dependent that it makes sense to get the respective tag for the platform. For both, extremely limiting.

[@VTREXify]

The Samsung Smart Tag+ is the clear winner. Its button functionality won me over.

It really adds a heck of a lot more.

The smart tag plus actually does have a scanner that detects if there is a Rogue tracker around you.

[@thatguynich4667]

I've had a couple of generations of tile. One without a relatable battery and one with. I definitely felt the one without just killed the tag at the one year mark. The one with took me two battery changes in 3 months after the one year mark and I believe I had to change it once before the year but I truly don't remember. I now have the Galaxy tag and I'm not as sold on it as you seem to be in this video. Besides the extra features I almost feel the tile worked better.

Thanks for the comparison. Really really needed someone to do a comparison. I like android but when air tag came out, thought might have to switch(guess who always leave things behind), but I now know there are alternatives. Cheers

[@photelegy]

I would really hope Samsung would open it to all Android. Off course the smartphone would need UWB to localize it exactly (like the Pixel 5, Samsung Note 20, ...). But the mesh network would get so much bigger just to be localized by walking-by-passengers.

[@photelegy]

Is there any hope for this. Especially now that Samsung and Google are greatly cooperating on Smartwatches (WearOS, Hardware, ...)?

[@bradavon]

Would be useful but Samsung is already by far the most popular Android brand.

​@@photelegyI would like to know too. I think Google are releasing a Find my Network feature (I have no idea if Samsung tags work with it). And I think Google worked a solution with Apple to update unknown airtags tracking on all Android devices. So I guess it depends on how much Samsung and Google are willing to negotiate together on it.

Is the smart tag plus stalker proof? I heard about an issue with the apple airtag where they use to track people, but I wonder if the Samsung smart tag+ is a case as well since I didn't even heard on the news about the smart tag and the airtag being mostly talked about

[@ThisIsTechToday]

No tags are stalker proof, unfortunately. It just became more well known and an ordeal when airtags came out but you could do that with Tile trackers, too

[@MurasakiOokamiRyuu]

In Brazil, Iphones (and other Apple products) have a VERY PROHIBITIVE cost. But Samsung here has a wide price range and is most popular brand. With that in mind, I think results on Find My Network and SmartThings can vary a lot depending on region/country.

[@ThomasTheTankEngine22]

Apple will add UWB or something similar and say they innovated. Then they'll make it bigger so that you have to buy the loops all over again

Cynical much? They use UWB already, charged less than Samsung and only lacks the hoop, AR, and button. You don’t HAVE to have a loop in every instance.

Ive been using TILE Pro and I dont like the UI. The range is grate but seems like they dont have a huge network as Apple and Samsung. In terms of tracking they do work when they work, but I notice if I have to rely on others TILE users I dont think there are many, I did some tests in park and I could not get a ping. Also I hate the fact TILE charges for history logs and in addition to that keep pushing extra plan from the $25 basic to the $99 trying to convince with insurance plans, I HATE THAT! So, I have about 10 of those stupit TILE tags that I gont on costco but I do recommend get either Apple or Samsung. I am moving away from Tile

[@GadgeteerZA]

So true, it really depends on what phone you use. Outside of the USA, in my country, Samsung is massive. But that is also my concern about Tile, as how do Tile devices get found. Hopefully not only from users who have actually installed the app (those numbers would be really low in my country).

[@zerma6]

Thats exactly how tile work if you are more than 30 m from it good luck getting a ping from a tile user lol
