Samsung launches the Galaxy SmartTag2

Available starting October 10

Published

Yesterday, Samsung quietly launched the Galaxy S23 FE. If you’re buying a new device from the series, you might want to keep it safe and sound. Coinciding with the new series, Samsung is also launching the Galaxy SmartTag2.

Back in August, a store listing accidentally revealed that Samsung is working on a new SmartTag. It took a while, but the new device is finally here.

The Galaxy SmartTag2 features a new design for the tracking device. The ring-shaped design allows users to secure their trackers into keyrings, zippers, and even dog collars. Despite the difference in design, Samsung also infused the device with IP67 dust and water resistance.

The new device is adding more developments on the software side. The SmartThings Find app now shows users an improved Compass View to display the direction and distance a tracked device is from the smartphone.

The app is also supported by Samsung Knox, keeping your tracking data secure from malicious parties. It will also alert users of any unauthorized trackers attached to their person.

Finishing up the list of improvements coming to this iteration of the SmartTag, the new tracker’s battery will reportedly last for 500 days, a 50 percent increase over its predecessor’s promised life. Further, a new Power Saving Mode increases this promise up to a whopping 700 days, more than twice as much as other models.

The new Galaxy SmartTag 2 is available starting on October 10. Each tracker will cost US$ 29.99.

F1’s Daniel Ricciardo spotted with an unreleased Beats Pill

LeBron James was also spotted with the same thing

In a world inundated with leaks, spotting an unreleased device out in the wild is less of a spectacle these days. However, there are still some sneak peeks that manage to catch our eyes. One such example is the sudden appearance of an unreleased Beats Pill in the hands of F1 driver Daniel Ricciardo.

A Beats Pill is not an easy speaker to find these days. After all, the company discontinued the last one back in 2022. Unless they particularly love old devices, it’s likely not a coincidence if a popular personality is somehow toting one out in public.

In preparation for the upcoming Miami Grand Prix this weekend, Daniel Ricciardo, who currently races for the Visa Cash App RB team, strolled into the paddock carrying a golden Beats Pill. It’s also interesting that the Pill is positioned perfectly to display the Beats logo.

As if that’s not a sure sign already, LeBron James was also spotted with the same speaker before a game back in April. Serendipitously, the pictured speaker swung perfectly to display the Beats logo in the NBA star’s photo.

Because Beats has not announced a revival yet, it’s difficult to see what the audio company has in store for its next portable speaker. However, one thing’s for sure: A new lanyard will make it easier to carry around. It’s also safe to assume that the device will come with USB-C this time around.

CASETiFY has introduced the Peach Haze Impact Case, offering customers a new protective case that suits the summer vibe pretty well. The brand has also released new Bounce Cases in Matte finish for those who prefer a simplistic, non-glossy look for their cases.

The Peach Haze Impact case retails for US$ 70 for the MagSafe compatible variant for iPhone 14 and 15 models. Meanwhile, the non-MagSafe case for iPhone 15 and Samsung S24 Ultra are priced at US$ 65 and US$ 70, respectively.

The new Impact Case is 16% slimmer and offers 8.2-feet drop protection. It is made partially from Re/CASETiFY pellets and 65% recycled and plant-based materials. Obviously, it has a refreshing and distinct peach-colored look for those who want to add style to their summer experience.

Meanwhile, new Bounce Cases are priced at US$ 90 and are available in solid purple, pink, and black matte colorways. They are available for iPhone 14 and 15 models and are wireless charging and MagSafe compatible. For those who want other designs, the case also comes in different prints and patterns.

These new Bounce Cases are likewise 16% slimmer, and offer maximum shock absorption from all angles. CASETiFY incorporated compression ribs on the corners of this variant to fortify the phone’s weakest spot. Considering most phone drops land on its corner, that’s a welcome innovation. The new corner design ensures users of protection even during accidental drops at up to 21.3 feet.
