Samsung announced the Galaxy SmartTag2, a successor to its original item tracker, which will be released globally on October 11. The new tracker is claimed to offer up to 700 days of battery life.

Samsung revealed the Galaxy SmartTag2 on Thursday, two years after the launch of the original SmartTag. The new ring-shaped device, which will be released globally on October 11, offers new tracking features and can be used to keep track of valuable items or pets.
