Samsung Galaxy Smart Tag, a Tile-Like Tracker to Help Find Lost Things, May Be in the Pipeline

SmartThings Find feature was introduced with the Galaxy Note 20 series

Samsung Galaxy Smart Tag, a Tile-like tracker, may be in the works. A device with model number EI-T5300 has been reportedly spotted on an Indonesian Telecom Certification website. The listing does not share any information on the device, besides its name. During the launch of the Galaxy Note 20 series, Samsung introduced the SmartThings Find feature to quickly and easily locate your Galaxy devices. It uses Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and ultra-wideband (UWB) technologies to find select Galaxy smartphones, tablets, earbuds, and smartwatches. With Smart Tag, you could keep the trackers in things like your wallet or keys, to help find them around the house as well.

As per the tweet by known tipster Mukul Sharma, a Samsung device by the name ‘Galaxy Smart Tag' has been spotted on Indonesian Telecom Certification website. It reportedly comes with model number EL-T5300 and the listing does not provide any further information.

The Galaxy Smart Tag is meant to offer similar functionality as the Tile tracker that has small tags that can be placed anywhere or attached to things to know at all times where that particular item is. They can also make a sound or a beep to help the user locate the device if it is somewhere close. The Tile tracker can be attached alongside your keys, remotes, or other devices that could be misplaced.

Samsung announced SmartThings Find service in October and it can quickly and easily locate Galaxy devices. It runs on Android 8 or later devices and uses Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and ultra-wideband (UWB). It helps in locating devices such as smartphones, tablets, and smartwatches, or each individual earbud. It works even if the device is offline. The way it works it, if you report your device as lost via SmartThings Find, nearby Galaxy smartphone or tablet that have opted into helping can alert the Samsung server about its location and you will receive a notification.
