Awesome video! Things to note, the tags don't have gps. The variances in location data is because you're getting the location of the phone that "heard" your tag. Samsungs tag is better overall due to the location history. You can see "travel habits" of your thief. A friend found his bike because the thief always stopped at a coffee shop around the same time every Friday so naturally on Friday he went to the coffee shop with police. Sure enough the guy comes rolling up oblivious to the cops cause apparently the police hung out there too. lol

Hello there, I got the Samsung Smart Tags, placed one under a truck hanging from the chassis in a city with cold winters, Samsung says the batteries can last up to 8 months but this Smart Tag has 13 months and it's still going. I'm shocked at how the battery is still working when we have temps of -20 below zero in this city. Simply amazing. The tag works like a charm.

Just the video I was looking for!!! Well done, I liked all the different tests you did, basically all my questions were answered!

You mentioned a way to disable the speaker, but is there a way to disable the notification ability of the Samsung tag? Might keep a would be thief from tearing your car apart looking for the tag.

Good job on this comparison video. It much better shows the subtle differences between the two products. I think the reason why there is a slight difference even when using two of the same together is because there is not a constant signal being sent out but it probably works with a polling mechanism at a certain interval (like maybe every 30 sec) in order to save battery life.

Great video. Informative and answered all the grey areas on usefulness. Terrible time with thefts of property in unsecured locations. Safetags and keep filling out police reports for results.

Hey u know what, he actually covered everything I was curious about. Good review/testing

This should be the 'GOTO' video for whoever looking to pick up these tags!!

The tags are probably pinging at alternating intervals based on when they received power, which is why they pick up different locations.

10:50 The tags don't actually "pick up" any locations. All they do is send a weak bluetooth signal (ping) and it is nearby phones that pick this ping, then upload the location data of the tag to the Samsung / Apple network. Hence, if one tag send a ping at a different time than the second one, the reported locations will differ.

With the test of the tags being side by side, it was probably pinging the location of the nearest users and that the limitation is that the nearest user can't ping two different tags at the same time which might explain the two tags being in a different location.

Great job and data on your review. Thank you!

Very informative video. It helped me a great deal. Your brother looked very excited to assist! Lol

thank you so much for driving around and waiting around!

Great review, and very thorough without bias. Clearly apple vs samsung is a definite bias as to users, because they've already invested in their mobile phone brand/technology. But for either, good information on limitations.

You earned a subscriber bro! Great video👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

finally a decent review. Thanks

Best complete instructional Samsung smart tag 2 video. You have great calm voice for easy listening too. Please keep doing instructional videos.

You should test both the Galaxy SmartTag and the SmartTag+, since the Plus version is useful for this exact situation. That lower frequency should reach greater distances and offer more accuracy. It is useless for something like car keys, since you can just use a regular smarttag, then cause it to make a sound when you are close enough, but for this situation, a Plus model would actually be worth it.

Great video my guy!!! I have a tag on my dirt bike and utility trailer.

Excellent review. Thanks!

The tags are showing different locations as you travel, because they are being picked up by different phones. They have to communicate with people's phones in the area where they are, otherwise you don't get any tracking info.

Thank you so much you made the perfect video you literally answered all my questions I was in between decision on which one to get and you helped me a lot with your video

Straight to point. Good work fella

This is very informative and very helpful, thank you

Really good video. Perhaps you can redo the video while using the SmartTag 2 as it also has Ultra Wide Band next to Bluetooth which makes them even better. And now with Black Friday, you probably have them below $30.

Can you do a the same for GF-07 please 😮

Great video man!

Are the Motorola air tags any good for my moto g4 power?

Thankyou sir for this video... practical approach cleared my doubts. Had a question can you please tell me if the Samsung Smarttag is compatible with Samsung Galaxy m31s model? I checked online but didnt get a satisfactory answer.

Great video, i hope you can help me with a question i have about the smarttag. Do you know if it notifies phones with a notification like the airtag that your phone is being followed? And does it work with iPhones? I wanna track my kid and i think the airtag has some drawbacks i hope a smarttag maybe can solute.

I thought about putting one of each tag in my golf cart… just in case because we have multiple iPhone/Samsung phones . Can you take out the speaker out of the smart tag- Samsung like the airtag- iPhone It would limit the chance of thief having both in the locate ? Just wondering

so whats the maximun distance these things could track cause i need range lol

The latency or delay, that will be my best guess, occurs because the locating method of the devices being Bluetooth is the amount of different signals from each phone interfering and the fact that there is a limit how many concurrent connections one device can have/make... (And maybe because how many tags are around and the increasing amount of accumulating data that has to be processed for the locating by servers)

And another thing why would you get a galaxy tab for it only works on Galaxy phones I get a tile that works on them all .

Wow, I just bought a 4pk of Airtags after the mews that they are compatible w/ Androids now. As I was under the impression the airtags were way better. I'm wondering if it would've been ok w/ the just SmartTags since I have a galaxy Note phone.

Happy to see Jim Morrison has rose from the dead to help me make a buying decision, jokes aside, great video

i heard a Vifeo dashcam come on. i have four with 2 and 3 channel types. I have one of the GPS tracking you showed at the beginning of the video with a yearly subscription and may be worth adding an air tag as a backup since it is a sub free. just disable the speaker but do not like it might notify the person who stole the vehicle that there is an air tag in the vehicle.

If you are going to compare two Smart Tags one should be the regular one and the other should be the Plus model. It uses different bluetooth technology and is supposed to be much more accurate, locating the object to inches. Its 3 times the cost of the regular tag. So with a test it would tell us if it is worth it.

Is this smart tag a plus you used or just smart tag

Great!

Very Nice Video .Thank You.

Good info

Just ordered Samsung air tag 2 hopefully its better than my chipolo one tag. Big up from Scotland 😊😊😊

Have you tried the Tile tracker?

Interessting video :D

The Samsung Smartags do NOT notify the thief he is being followed/tracked. Only Apple air tags do that.

Nice video.. amyway a GPS tracker nowadays is useless.. thief's all use signal jammer r to block GPS signal.. so this is the latest trend. Probably gonna get some smarttag. Thanks

Best video on UKposts.

Do you know what the oldest Samsung phone you can use with Airtags is?

Not a bad review but the Smarthings app does work out of a wifi network, otherwise how could you control your home appliances if driving on the way home? You stated you liked the recorded history of the Smarttag yes still preferred the Air tag even thought it didn't do that!

With SmartTags, enabling the “unknown tag detection” feature in the SmartThings app enables tracking alerts. In my opinion, this makes SmartTags a better option for tracking stolen vehicles compared to AirTags, as many thieves won't enable this feature.

Cool video and an even cooler castle

And another thing is I really don’t care notification that has air tag tracking tracking them and maybe they’ll think maybe I shouldn’t steal his car

My c7 is laguna blue tint coat

Keep in mind your tag is only as accurate as the phones known location.....if the gps is way off thats what it'll display

dude! you live pretty much down the street from me ....

They emit rf, so thief can find

It gets hot in a car. Attach using Velcro to a body part and whomever steals your car would never hear the tone. Also near impossible to find.

12:00 why is there scary movie music playing 🥺

Buy him some floor mats brah!

You have a very cool brother.

How many people have Bluetooth permanently enabled on any phone?

Best vid

i like that GO 4 IT licence plate . who else does ?

Very interesting. Suggestion, give Tile a go, they started the tag trackers back in 2011-ish. A feature Tile's have is ability to turn off the beep notification of the tracker so a thief nor anyone would know, other than the tracker owner, a Tile is in their vicinity; thus they cannot look for it and remove it. Both Tile and SmartTag have a outstanding feature Airtag does not, both can reverse ring the phone not just the phone ringing the tag only as with Airtag. Misplace the phone press the Tile or SmartTag button will ring the phone.

KEEP BOTH HANDS on STEERING! Not two fingers. Please. It may happen you will need both hands...2 fingers can take you to graveyard, or you will put someone to graveyard. Take care.

Wait what? We need wifi for samsung? Thats stupid when im on holidays and lost my wallet kn the beach i need to forst get wifi?

Do you need Samsung phone to use smart tag or can it be used with any phone

Too bad you used a car no one wants to steal :D Just kidding. Ok so what I have been researching in my rural area has been a challenge, we have limited cell towers. GPS car trackers, even if you wanted to pay for the irritating monthly service, we don't have the AT&T tower here (in my immediate area) that many of the GPS seem to use. But if the car is stolen, it would very potentially cross into other cell zones. My question with the tags is, what if I only have an iphone and don't have an android? I couldn't use both tags then. I would, if I could? I ordered an Airtag to try it out. I may do the LandAirSea to try that out in addition, if you read the Amazon reviews, at least a couple reviewers turned down the notifications to once a day, which extended battery life to 6+ months. If something happened to the vehicle, up the notifications. LandAirSea is small like a tag.

The million dollar question was this guy recorded on I bet you 100 bucks he took his phones with him and didn’t leave them at home . what’s the purpose of breaking yourself on with you that’s not much of testimony

Change playback speed to 1.5 *fly away*

More locations = less battey life

this might be useless for me and where i live. no one leaves on their Bluetooth for no reason.

So, with the tracking history and no notifications, the Samsung is the way to for a jealous husband to check up on what his wife is doing. Got it (this is one reason why Apple will not activate this "feature").

Those are so pointless, they need to be GPS...

Useless (do not count crackheads)

I would not trust Shady Banks

Your methodology is a bit flawed. You should do this with a partner to see how car gets tracked while you're at home. Your partner should go to a random parking place. Go beyond 500 feet to lose his/her Bluetooth signal and then repeat. That way, the signal would have to be picked by strangers and not you or your friend. That would've been a better test.

Too slow. Take an expresso.

Couldn't get my "SmartTag" to work for me. Likely not a "Galaxy" but a knock-off. Either the instructions are poorly translated or it just doesn't work. China puts the "C" in Cuality! I say this in the public interest. I suspect I got duped. Glad I only bought one. I bet the real "Galaxy" made ones work.

Recently, a Cadillac Escalade was stolen in Houston and was found chopped up at a chopped shop because the owner had placed an apple airtag in it.

If you could afford the car... why not put both? who cares. Also. if the their will get notifications... You just take those tags apart and remove or break the speaker so they can't hear anything. They'd have no clue where it could be! You could shove it into a slit you make in the car seat foam and close the seat back up... no idea! Both brands is better so you have at least 2X the chance for an update.

waste of time I don't own a car

You should have picked up the cig butt if it was that important to ya.

A raza ,perduda,de tiempo ver este video se supone que dejes esa mugre en un lugar y trates de ubicarlo tu lejos de ahí y lo localizas con la señal de otros celulares
