Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. announced Thursday that its new $40 SmartTag Plus, a slightly more expensive version of the company’s SmartTag device, will launch globally on April 16.
SmartTag is a small tile-like device that can help users find lost items, such as keys. The SmartTag+ uses BlueTooth Low Energy and ultra-wideband technology as well as augmented reality to guide users visually to where missing items are with the smartphone’s camera: no more losing keys and such in futon cushions or underneath the couch.
The Galaxy SmartTag+ can be easily attached to any everyday item, like a backpack or a keychain. The device is shaped like a small tile with a round hole in one side so that it can be tied to another object.
