Samsung Galaxy SmartTag Plus review: Battery Life
The Samsung Galaxy SmartTag Plus is a phone that uses a CR2032 battery. This battery is expected to last users for about a year before needing to be replaced. We obviously don’t have a year to put that theory to the test, but it seems plausible.
SmartThings app users are concerned about the battery life notification that uses an admittedly ambiguous “Sufficient” banner to inform users that everything is fine in the interim. ..
When it’s time to change the battery, all you have to do is pry the case off with a coin or screwdriver before popping the battery out. It is an extremely simple and only takes a few minutes. That ought to be adequate for everyone. ..
Samsung Galaxy SmartTag Plus review: Performance
The Galaxy Note 20 Ultra phone and the SmartTags+ are two great ways to play lost and found. By using the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra phone, we could look for it after hiding it somewhere in my house, yard, or car. The SmartTags+ ecosystem assisted in retrieving my misplaced keys from a parallel universe twice.
The tags were dependable and reduced my level of frustration. The SmartTag Plus, like the original SmartTag, has an exceptional range. It stayed in contact with my Note 20 Ultra phone for 105 feet in my 100-year-old house, five feet short of the original SmartTag’s 110-foot range but more than three times farther than the AirTag’s 29-foot range.
The SmartTag Plus can start looking for tags from almost anywhere in my house. Because of the AirTag’s limited range, we needed to know where to begin my search.
Price and Availability

We haven’t yet seen any bundle offers for multiple SmartTag+ devices, unlike the older SmartTag, as of this writing. While the SmartTag+ costs £39/ $39.99/ €39.90 for a single tracker and £69 for a two-pack.
The Tile Pro and AirTag are not available in all markets where the standard tracker is, including Spain. Both alternatives are offered in multi-packs, with the £29.99 Tile Pro most similar to the standard SmartTag and the £29 AirTag more similar to the SmartTag+.
Bottom line
If you have a Samsung Galaxy phone and find yourself constantly forgetting where your keys, phone, or other valuables are, a SmartTag could be the perfect solution. The Galaxy SmartTag plus has many features that make it an attractive option, such as a replaceable battery and the ability to be used as an IoT remote. However, its range may not be as good as some of Tile’s competitors and there is currently a smaller network of users. ..
