key finder
The Samsung Galaxy SmartTag is a smart tracker and object finder produced by Samsung Electronics. The device utilizes Bluetooth Low Energy to allow the user to locate whatever object it is linked to via the SmartThings mobile app. The SmartTag & SmartTag+ were announced at Samsung's Galaxy Unpacked event on January 14, 2021, SmartTag was included with every Galaxy S21 for pre-order, and released on January 29, 2021.

Function
The Galaxy SmartTag is a tracking device which can be attached to various objects that are easily lost with a small strap (sold separately) or by other means, such as a keychain. Objects include keys, luggage, purses, among others. The device can then be located with SmartThings mobile app, using Bluetooth LE. Another variant, the Galaxy SmartTag+, uses ultra-wideband technology in order to locate the device and was released on April 16, 2021. Only a limited number of phone models, which are more recently produced, manufactured by Samsung support such features. While the device is inside of the Bluetooth range (120 meters), it can play a ringtone using its inbuilt piezoelectric speaker to alert the user of its exact location audibly, using a volume between 85 - 96 dB (unobstructed).
