      Losing items is a common occurrence, as anyone who has ever misplaced their wallet, keys, or phone can confirm. Moreover, keeping track of your luggage while traveling is crucial. So, is an Apple AirTag the solution? Not so fast. Currently, there are many Samsung deals available for the Spring/Tax Day seasonal event. This means you can find an excellent offer on the Samsung Galaxy Smart Tag 2. We have the best price on this device over at Amazon, where the white version is discounted by 43% to $17. That’s a $13 savings from the original price of $30. Click the button below to purchase yours now or continue reading to find out why the Galaxy Smart Tag 2 stands out as a leading object tracker.

      Reasons to purchase the Samsung Galaxy Smart Tag 2

      The Samsung Galaxy Smart Tag 2 resembles a label tag, boasts a battery life of over 500 days, and features an IP67 rating, providing strong resistance against water and dust. It utilizes Samsung’s SmartThings app for distance and close-range tracking of your belongings — the app can prompt the tag to emit a sound to help you locate your keys, even if they are lost in couch cushions or hidden under an open book. If you are in a noisy environment or have trouble hearing, there is also a compass feature to assist you in finding your items.

      This may sound similar to the Apple AirTag, which is far more recognized than the Samsung Galaxy Smart Tag 2. Having reported on AirTags for years, I was surprised to learn that Amazon indicates the Galaxy Smart Tag 2 has achieved over 6,000 sales in the past month. So, how do the AirTag and Smart Tag 2 stack up against each other? Our findings show that performance can vary significantly by region, as different countries have varying levels of tracking networks. According to our research, “I discovered that the reliability and consistency of the Galaxy Tag exceed that of the AirTag in the US, Europe, and the Middle East, and the location history feature is something that the Apple tracker lacks.”

      As a result, if you reside in the US or Europe, you may prefer this product over the Apple AirTag. However, if you're in India, you might lean towards the Apple AirTag.

      If you want to take advantage of this deal, be sure to click the button below. Right now, you can get the Samsung Galaxy Smart Tag 2 in white for only $17 on Amazon. That’s a $13 savings from the original $30, making it a fantastic offer.

      Our top choice for a budget folding phone is currently $150 off.

      Last Friday, we published our updated guide to the best phones available today. Many of the leading options are from brands that you are likely familiar with, such as the Apple iPhone 16 and Google Pixel Pro 9, which dominate the list. Samsung and OnePlus are also included, though they aren't as prominent. When it comes to affordable flip phones and folding phones, however, the Motorola Razr is taking the lead.

      At the moment, you can purchase the Motorola Razr 2024, which we have labeled as the “best cheap folding phone,” for just $550 instead of the regular $700 for the 256GB unlocked version.
