How to Find Your Lost Samsung Galaxy SmartTag 2 in Minutes
The Galaxy SmartTag 2 broadcasts the longest-lasting BLE signal of any device on this list — up to 500 days on a single CR2032 coin cell — making it virtually always findable by EarBuddy as long as you search within about a year and a half. Its ring-shaped design is meant for keychains and luggage tags, but many users attach it to items and then forget they have one, leading to confusion when scanning. With BLE 5.3 and a purpose-built tracking antenna, EarBuddy can detect it from 40 feet indoors and 120+ feet in open outdoor spaces — the longest range of any device in this database — but SmartThings Find is completely locked to Samsung Galaxy phones, leaving all iPhone users without any native option.

Why SmartThings Find Can't Find Your Galaxy SmartTag 2
SmartTag 2 works with SmartThings Find on Samsung Galaxy phones. iPhone users and non-Samsung Android users cannot use Samsung's tracker network at all.
