In terms of design, the AirTag from Apple impresses with its compact design, only equivalent to a 10,000 dong coin. AirTag is made from glossy plastic and stainless steel. However, this device is also very susceptible to dirt and scratches. In addition, to attach this locator to a bag, you must also use a wearable accessory.

Opponent from Samsung, the Galaxy SmartTag has a rather "rude" appearance with plastic material that makes this device a bit less luxurious when compared to the competition. But expensive, beautiful is not necessarily better. Many tests have shown that the Galaxy SmartTag is more resistant to shocks than Apple's AirTag. However, the AirTag's IP 67 water resistance is a plus when it turns out to be more essential for a navigation device. The IP 53 waterproof standard on the Galaxy SmartTag makes this device almost impossible to resist water and dust.

Both devices share the same Cr 2032 battery standard for a year of use. This type of battery is also sold in many grocery stores and convenience stores in Vietnam. To change the battery for the AirTag, users just need to gently press the back down and then rotate it counterclockwise, much easier than replacing the battery on Samsung's Galaxy SmartTag.

Both these navigation devices are also almost equivalent in terms of features and operation. Both have the ability to work without the need for the Internet but will rely on iPhone or Samsung Galaxy devices.

Apple's AirTag for more accurate positioning than SmartTag. If you are an iPhone 11 or later user, when using, the device will display an arrow-shaped interface, helping you quickly find your lost item. While Samsung's navigation device is only capable of telling you the location and distance. However, Samsung's SmartTag has the ability to help users find their smartphone back with just a push of a button on the device.
