The Samsung Galaxy SmartTag2 uses Bluetooth and Ultra Wide Band (UWB) technology to locate items, but it does not have built-in GPS. Here are some important aspects of range and tracking:
- Bluetooth range: location is mainly within Bluetooth range, which is typically a few metres to about 10-15 metres, depending on the environment and obstacles. - Ultra Wide Band (UWB): When UWB is available, precise tracking can be done within the UWB range, which is similar to the Bluetooth range. This enables precise localisation using the camera and visual instructions in the SmartThings app. - Community Finding: If the tracker is out of direct range, it can be found by the Samsung Galaxy Community. If another Samsung Galaxy user passes close to the tracker, the position of the tracker is transmitted anonymously to the owner.
Overall, the exact distance at which you can locate your tracker depends on the environmental conditions and the availability of other Samsung devices in the vicinity.
