Samsung's answer to an AirTag drops to £12 - but discount won't last long

The summer is here and for those who are conscious about losing valuables while away, a Bluetooth tracker might be the device shoppers need in their lives. Trackers like these can guide and pinpoint users to the exact area of their lost items by showing a map to where it is and notifying nearby users, making them extremely helpful while on holiday.

Amazon currently has a super deal on the SmartTag2, as it drops to £12.12 - one of the cheapest prices for a while. But for those who want a better deal, a four-pack of the device costs £43.05, making it even better value, that's £10.76 each.

The four-pack might be the better option for those wanting to put smart trackers on many items, but if shoppers want to monitor a single item, the £12 SmartTag2 is still worth it price wise.

The SmartTag2 has a lifespan of up to 500 days,and the power saving mode extends it by up to 40%, ensuring reliable tracking on journeys. It also has an IP67 rating, meaning it is built to withstand dust and water, making it a robust and convenient travel companion.

For those looking for some alternatives, Apple users can get the original Apple AirTag on Currys for £28 - but be warned, it's only compatible with iPhone or Apple device users. There's also the Tile Mate, priced at £23.95, which works with both Apple and Android devices but they tend to be bigger and bulkier.

The Samsung SmartTag2 has absolutely glowing reviews from buyers. One reviewer said: "The Galaxy SmartTag2 has exceeded my expectations. It's compact and rugged (IP67-rated) and includes both Bluetooth and UWB technology for fast, accurate tracking. The upgraded compass feature in the SmartThings Find app offers clear direction arrows or AR guidance, making it easy to locate lost items-whether at home or in the office.

"What really impresses is the battery life. With up to 500 days in normal mode, and as much as 700 days in power saving."

Another shopper said: "Quite impressed with these. Got two in our luggage when we went abroad, we could track the location of the luggage after it was sent through baggage handling at London airport as well as through two Greek airports, we knew it was sent on the same plane as we took.

"Have a third hidden in my campervan so I know where that is, the vehicle also has a tracker but this seems to be just as efficient in tracking its locations."

However, one big drawback is that this device is only for Samsung owners and some users have been disgruntled by it. One user said: "Do not bother purchasing this if you have a non-Samsung phone. I am operating a Pixel on Android 15 and cannot set up the tags."
