I’ll be jetting away on holiday next month – and here’s why the Samsung Galaxy SmartTag2 is going to come along with me
In the next few months, I’ll be heading to Croatia for a week. To avoid any frustration at the airport in the UK while abroad, I’ve decided to invest in a Samsung Galaxy SmartTag2 for only £15.
But why? Well, as many Brits may know, things can go wrong when it comes to luggage and the last thing you want is all your belongings going missed – and a Bluetooth tracker can help with that as well as keep a close eye on other valuables like your wallet, passports and more so they will never go missing.
Bluetooth trackers can help locate lost items by connecting via Bluetooth to a smartphone app, allowing users to ring the tracker or see its last known location, and some utilize a crowdsourced network to update location even when out of range.

Tracking devices like the £15 SmartTag2 are a game-changer for Brits can keep keep your mind at ease. This handy gadget is not only durable, with an IP67 rating, making it dust and water-resistant, but it’s also an excellent companion for your travels thanks to its impressive battery life that lasts up to 500 days.
With Power Saving Mode throwing in an additional 40%, travellers can trust the SmartTag2 for dependable location services. However, there is one catch – these trackers are exclusively compatible with Samsung phones, which is a vital point to bear in mind.
Apple aficionados needn’t feel left out; they have options such as the Tile Mate, priced at £20, or they could go for the Apple AirTag, which comes in at £28.
The SmartTag2 has been garnering some serious praise from users, with glowing reviews coming in. A pleased customer shared their experience: “I was dubious at first, being solely reliant on Bluetooth and locked into the Samsung ecosystem, but it has worked well and stood up to the tests of frequent global air travel.”
They went on to add: “Now have multiple tags for all my luggage and carry-on when travelling for work and have been able to track my bags without any issue even when my bags have landed up in a different location to me.”
Another satisfied traveller recommended, “If you’re a Samsung Galaxy owner, I would highly recommend it. Small, compact, robust, with great battery life.”
However, some observant critics noted that the tracker’s effectiveness may decrease in areas where Samsung devices are few and far between, warning: “In areas with a high density of Samsung devices, it performs well.
“However, in our town (less than 120k population), the location refresh rate is noticeably slower and often outdated. For example, when I tested it during a rush-hour full train commuting from London to Birmingham, the real-time location was delayed by about 20 minutes.”
