The Samsung Galaxy SmartTags were shown off by the brand at CES 2021 as a product for consumers who are looking to maintain increased awareness of their personal items, while also performing their choice of intelligent functionality.
The item trackers are powered by Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology and maintain a compact design that will easily fit onto your keychain, bag or even pet collar. The trackers will go to work providing users with a snapshot of where the item was last seen on a map and thanks to a proximity sensor will help them to easily locate it.
The Samsung Galaxy SmartTags fit in perfectly with the growing number of products within the Samsung Galaxy universe and will be priced at $29.99 each when they start shipping on January 29, 2021.
