I was looking for items from Amazon UK to pad my order to get free shipping with the Persona 5 Royal deal posted earlier today, and found this by chance. Lowest price since 21 June 2021, where it was AU$26.19 from Amazon US.

Personally, I'll be using one for the car as a budget theft countermeasure (yes, I'm aware they're not as effective as active GPS trackers where you have to pay a yearly subscription), and another for my laptop bag. Do be warned, however, that if the car thief also has a Samsung phone, they will be notified that they are being tracked, as an in-built anti-stalking countermeasure.

These take replaceable CR2032 batteries, which are currently on sale at Supercheap Auto, two bucks for a 10-pack.

    Buy this and AirTag. Use it to stalk someone. What are the chances they carry both phones?

      That's a bit stalkerish don't you think

        I meant that as a hypothetical situation obviously.

      Only Samsung —> Probability of stalking notification = 1/2 = 50%

      Only Airtag —> Probability of stalking notification = 1/2 = 50%

      Both —> Probability of stalking notification = 1/2+1/2 = 100%

          57% apple
          26% Samsung
          Probability of stalking notification: 83%
          lol

            @KGame: 57% for Apple is too high (most phones are not advanced). Probability of iPhone users knowing when to turn on BT 20%* ~50% = 10% probability +
            … Android users with Apple app 10% * ~50% * 20% (BT on) = 1%
            Total 11% or so ==> AirTags are convenient stalking tool. Expect swappable tracking you.

            Tile has been 10yrs around so more users, but don't worry. Apple (& CIA) know everything about you :(

        Both —-> Probability of them checking for a second tracking device after finding the first = 0%

        • Jonc on 21/02/2022 - 12:57

          Grab a "Tile" as well… then you have 3 trackers going… (tile I belive works on both Android and iOS but not as many might have the apps installed)

    Too bad it is not plus version

    • asa79 on 21/02/2022 - 12:48

      What's the differences

      • Yukari Yakumo on 21/02/2022 - 13:10
        +4

        Galaxy SmartTag only uses Bluetooth Low Energy (will give you geo-coordinates of the item, but that's it), while Galaxy SmartTag Plus uses both Bluetooth Low Energy and ultra-wideband (UWB), which also allows you to precisely pinpoint the exact location of the item using your phone's rear camera via an AR-based interface, which makes it useful for looking for small items like keys.

        Galaxy SmartTag Plus seems to be around the $70 mark everywhere, and I don't think there have been significant price drops or deals for it yet, unfortunately.

      • LowRange on 21/02/2022 - 14:29
        +1

        And hardly any Samsung phones/tablets have UWB, S21 and S22 dont it's only in the Plus and Ultra Models before you rush out and waste money on a SmartTag or a new phone.

    • TechNerd on 21/02/2022 - 15:15

      Keep an eye out on Amazon. I picked up the Plus version delivered from Amazon US for about $48

  • parker2004au on 21/02/2022 - 12:40

    Is the 'out of range' any good on Samsung they have it disabled by default and Apple have it enabled as default?

    I feel like only Smart tag users would turn it on

    I was looking for items from Amazon UK to pad my order to get free shipping

    Free international delivery with prime. Prime is $6.99/month. Why would you buy an item worth $31.89 if your goal is free delivery?

    • Yukari Yakumo on 21/02/2022 - 15:10

      If I got Prime, then you wouldn't have found out about this SmartTag deal, right? ;)

      Jokes aside, I don't purchase from Amazon frequently enough to justify getting Prime, I feel. Plus, I've been hoping for a price drop for the SmartTag for quite a while anyway, so it all worked out in the end.

  • emblurr on 21/02/2022 - 13:32

    I bought two smart tag plus. One for keys and one to put in my bike frame. I can still pick up my bike about 30 metres away so i'm happy with it.

    • Mokr on 21/02/2022 - 13:38

      how expensive is your bike

      • decc0 on 21/02/2022 - 13:49

        Maybe they just live in the kind of neighbourhood that'll steal anything not nailed down lol

      • emblurr on 21/02/2022 - 13:58

        $4k Focus Planet2. Some thief had a crack at hacksawing through a cheaper Abus, but failed. So now has an Abus 6500 and of these tags. Hopefully will never need to try and track it.

    • samfisher5986 on 21/02/2022 - 13:39

      Where is the best place to get the plus? Its so hard to find.

      • emblurr on 21/02/2022 - 14:07

        I bought on Amazon or $43 each from America in November. Unfortunately looks like they have gone up in price now.

    • karu on 21/02/2022 - 14:21

      Where do you place it on the bike? It's pretty big compared to the Air Tag.

      • emblurr on 21/02/2022 - 14:39

        I take out the battery and put it just above it cable tied to the wires.

    Are these any good in Australia? I'm a bit conscious they aren't sold here in physical shops. Is the ecosystem of samsung smart things users big enough vs say tile users?

    • samfisher5986 on 21/02/2022 - 13:43

      Tile is basically 0 in Australia and while Samsung wouldn't be, and will expand eventually, my understanding is that Samsung is opt in, rather then opt out like Apple, so its basically useless.

      • MrFunSocks on 21/02/2022 - 13:51

        I've got some tiles and there are actually a fair number around. The app tells you how many are around your location.

      • Ezuku on 21/02/2022 - 13:55

        Yeah, that's what I'm concerned about. Can't even buy the tags in Australia through brick and mortar stores.

    • taki on 21/02/2022 - 14:26

      "AirTags don’t work with Android phones, but Tile’s trackers, including the Tile Mate (2022), Tile Slim (2022), & Tile Sticker (2022) (available in bundle) are the best alternative. Tile has become synonymous with trackers the same way Kleenex is with facial tissue. Its trackers offer the second-largest crowd-finding network, as well as impressive range. You can also use Tile to remotely trigger lost phone to ring, something you can’t do with AirTags."

        I'm pretty happy with my Tiles, the network of phones with the Tile app in use is adequate. I actually posted one in the mail as a curiosity to see where it would end up, it got eaten by the sorting machine and is now sitting at the AusPost Alexandria Business Hub somewhere.

  • [Deactivated] on 21/02/2022 - 13:56

    Can anyone give a brief example of the differences for an S21 Ultra user on the 3 trackers? Hoping to leave a couple in the car and motorbike.

    I heard the Apple Airtags won't work on Android, only as much as to scan someone else's lost tag. But I heard that you can log in and check it whenever you need to. Not sure of how the notifications can be set up though.

    Apart from that, I haven't seen much of this SmartTag or the other 'Tile' option. Also, not sure if these two items hold up against the features of the Airtag.

    Any information/advice would be great, TIA. <3

    • furyou on 21/02/2022 - 15:27

      I wonder if the metal frame would cut the range for these.

  • kolorijo on 21/02/2022 - 14:10

    I am thinking about having it my car, just in case I forgot where I park it in the mall.. will it work for that?

    • entropysbane on 21/02/2022 - 14:24

      Yes, but doesn’t your phone know anyway?

    "Tile Mate (2022)
    The best Bluetooth tracker for Android users
    The Tile Mate has long range, is quite loud, & gives you better chance of finding your lost stuff"
