Smart tags are small Bluetooth tracking devices that can be attached to accessories such as keys, backpacks, and wallets to track them. They first appeared as Apple AirTags. Although, so far, whether the company will launch them is still in doubt.
South Korean technology giant Samsung recently launched its latest flagship product line Galaxy S21, as well as new smartphones, the company also launched a Bluetooth tracking device called Galaxy Smart Tag.
As suggested by LetsGoDigital’s latest news, smart tags seem to be getting more and more attention. According to the report, Oppo is also developing smart tags because the company has recently applied for a patent for a Bluetooth smart tag locator in China.
This patent shows some images related to the tracker from various aspects. It indicates that the smart label will adopt a square design with rounded corners. Although there are no available holes to hang it with the tracking accessory, so it is not clear how the device will work.
In addition, there may be a small hole in the corner for lighting. It is said that the Oppo smart label is provided with the upcoming flagship device Oppo Find X3.
The size of the Samsung Galaxy Smart Tag is 4 x 4, and Oppo’s smart tag is expected to be very compact. Although it remains to be seen, at what price this new device will compete with Samsung Smart Tag and Apple AirTags.
Smart tags use Bluetooth to track accessories, and can easily find lost items using a dedicated application on a smartphone. If you lose your phone, it can also be used to find your phone. Although the importance of smart tags can only be known after they are sold on the market.
