The best Bluetooth trackers of 2024: Expert tested
Like the Apple AirTag and iPhone, the Samsung SmartTag2 is at its best when paired with a Samsung Galaxy smartphone. The Galaxy SmartTag2 is a formidable Bluetooth tracker with a loudspeaker, a replaceable battery, and a rugged build that can handle a bump or two.

The SmartTag2 Bluetooth tracker is thinner and slicker than its predecessor, with a bigger keyring and a metal insert inside that provides greater durability. Beyond its new design, the SmartTag 2 increases its battery life to 700 days. It also has a new Power Saving Mode, a new Lost Mode, and an improved Compass View over its prior iteration. Customer reviews are mixed on battery life, but the SmartTag has a replaceable CR2032 battery.
Unlike the picks above, the SmartTag2 triggers smart home automation. Press the tag to turn on lights, kickstart air conditioning, or even open the garage door. However, it’s only compatible with appliances in the SmartThings ecosystem, which is more limited than the Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple Home Kit ecosystems.
This tracker sells for $30, but we’ve seen it go for much less, making it a great value buy for Samsung users.
Samsung Galaxy SmartTag2 features: Price: $30 | Battery life: Up to two years | Real-time tracking: Yes | Monthly cost: Free | Connectivity: Bluetooth, GPS
