Travelling overseas often involves temporarily parting with luggage, which can be a source of anxiety for some. This is where Bluetooth trackers are the ideal gadget, allowing travellers to monitor the exact location of their suitcase.

As we approach the summer travel season, Amazon has generously reduced the price of the Samsung Galaxy SmartTag2 Bluetooth Tracker for a limited period. Originally retailing at £34.99, it’s now available for £15.29.

One of the lowest prices we’ve seen the tracker is still priced at £23.80 when purchased directly from Samsung. In addition to tracking your luggage, smart tags can also be attached to items that are frequently misplaced, like car keys.

The Samsung device is water-resistant and boasts a lifespan of up to 500 days, with the convenient Power Saving Mode extending this by up to 40%. If an item goes missing, simply activate the Search Nearby function and receive intuitive directions via the Compass View.

If you’re still unable to locate the item, your Samsung SmartTag2 will audibly alert you through the Ring Your Tag feature, as The Mirror reported. This is very similar to features offered on rival products, like the Tile Tracker and Chipolo. 

The Samsung Galaxy SmartTag2 Bluetooth Tracker is an Amazon’s Choice product; a highly rated, well-priced product that’s ready for immediate dispatch.

The Samsung SmartTag has garnered an impressive 4.4-star rating from over 5,700 customer reviews. One satisfied customer praised the device, saying: “This is a true competitor to the Apple AirTag.

“I am finally happy to have an Android alternative to a Bluetooth Tracker… Real-time updating works wonders and it is very reliable to update its location. This is good, so I can see exactly where my luggage is. Nearby Search works pretty well in trying to find my product if it is nearby me.”

However, they did mention a problem with the device’s alarm feature, stating: “Originally, the loud alarm in the device worked, however recently I wasn’t able to get it to work. I hope Samsung fixes this, but until then the sound was great and very loud.”

On the other hand, another Amazon customer was left underwhelmed with the SmartTag’s performance.

They had purchased it to keep track of their cat’s whereabouts, but unfortunately, it failed to deliver. They explained: “I got this for my cat so I know where she is at all times, but it doesn’t track her once she’s more than 20 seconds away from me. I watched her walk into the woods by my house that is a 15 second walk from my garden, then I tried to track her and it wouldn’t refresh to show where she was… An hour later I saw her on the field in front of my house and the app finally updated saying she was home.”

A delighted customer has left a glowing five-star review for a travel essential, exclaiming: “Bought for travelling and it has been a game changer. Thankfully I have not lost any luggage so far, but having this has been such a nice reassurance and I have been able to track at each stage of the journey. Really easy to set up and it shows in my Samsung Smart Things app. Got it on sale too which made it better.”

Another contented buyer compared it favourably to other products, saying: “Compared to the Pebblebee smart tag, this is amazing,” but they did note one limitation: “Shame you need a Samsung phone for it to work as this is by far the market leader for me in the smart tracker market.”

The Samsung Galaxy SmartTag2 Bluetooth Tracker is currently available on Amazon for £15.29 while the deal lasts.

For those looking for alternatives, Currys is offering the CHIPOLO ONE Bluetooth Item Finder at a discounted price of £11.99. It enables users to locate their belongings down to the last spot they were placed using the Chipolo app and will alert you if you leave your item behind inadvertently.

iPhone fans aren’t left out either, the Apple AirTag can be purchased for £35, which can be attached to personal items and tracked via the Find My app radar.
