Samsung
Galaxy SmartTags are tags that you can put on your keys, remote, or other items to help you find them when they're lost.
Once you sync a SmartTag with your Galaxy smartphone, you can use an app to find the tags or ping them.
You'll need to be within about 130 yards of a SmartTag to locate it with your phone.
