Galaxy SmartTag + with UWB pre-ordered in the USA

Samsung had unveiled two new object trackers – Galaxy SmartTag and Galaxy SmartTag + – earlier this year along with the Galaxy S21 series. While the Galaxy SmartTag was sold almost immediately, Samsung had announced that the Galaxy SmartTag + would be sold later this year. It seems that the more premium item tracker from the company will soon be available for purchase.

Galaxy SmartTag + is now available for pre-order in the US. Best Buy has started accepting pre-orders of Galaxy SmartTag +, and has mentioned that the device will start shipping on April 12. The device is priced at $ 39.99 in the US and will be available in two colors: Black and Denim Blue. According to reports, Galaxy received the SmartTag + FCC certification earlier today.

The Galaxy SmartTag + is $ 1

5 more expensive than the regular Galaxy SmartTag, but it comes with UWB (Ultra-Wide Band) which provides more precise position and direction information. It has Bluetooth 5.0 and a tracking area of ​​almost 400 feet. When out of range, the Galaxy SmartTag + can still be tracked via other Galaxy users’ devices using the Galaxy Find network. It has an IP53 rating for dust and water resistance and ringtone. The replaceable battery lasts for up to 5 months.

Samsung has some other nice options for Galaxy SmartTag + in the SmartThings app. You can view the object’s tracking location in AR (Augmented Reality) mode, configure the smart home controls or routines button, adjust the ring volume, and change the ringtone (8 presets available).
