One of the things you don't want to worry about when using a location tracker is battery life. Samsung is showing clear signs that it's aware of this fact, and the company's latest Galaxy SmartTag 2 boasts significant battery life improvements over the original model.

Samsung's original Galaxy SmartTag didn't have UWB connectivity and could last up to 300 days on a single coin cell battery. The UWB-enabled SmartTag+ was more power-hungry than the Bluetooth-only model and could stay on for up to 165 days before needing a battery replacement.

The new Galaxy SmartTag 2 combines Bluetooth and UWB connectivity. And despite this upgrade, it offers way more battery life than the original models, partly thanks to a brand-new Power Saving Mode Samsung added to the device.

Galaxy SmartTag 2 offers up to 700 days of location tracking

Samsung has introduced a new Power Saving Mode to its SmartTag 2, designed for users who need to track items continually and hope for low energy consumption.

The company says that the Galaxy SmartTag 2 can last up to 700 days in Power Saving Mode, more than doubling and quadrupling the autonomy of the original Bluetooth and UWB models.

Even in Normal Mode, i.e., when Power Saving Mode is disabled, the Galaxy SmartTag 2 can last up to 500 days on a new charge. That is a huge quality-of-life improvement for Galaxy SmartTag 2 buyers, and these advancements can potentially reduce waste.
