Samsung is likely to launch a new Tile-like device for tracking lost items like its own devices, along with unveiling Galaxy S21 series, this month.

The `Galaxy SmartTag` would use Bluetooth to connect with nearby devices and broadcast its location.

It will help users find it later if they misplace whatever it`s attached to.

"It`ll be powered by a replaceable button cell battery, according to a regulatory filing," reports GSMArena.

Samsung`s tracker is more like a Tile, which is a tiny Bluetooth tracker and easy-to-use app that finds your phone, keys, and anything you don`t want to lose - in seconds.

Attach a Tile to an item and locate it by sound, by seeing its last known location on a map, or by marking it as "lost" and getting an alert when it`s found. And this is exactly what Galaxy SmartTag is going to do too.

According to GizmoChina, the Samsung Galaxy Smart Tag tracker will have a rounded square shape that is reminiscent of Tile trackers.

There seems to be a ring shape at the centre and a cut-out at the top, "which could either be a button that can be pressed to find a connected phone".

The report also said that the Smart Tag would come in black and white (oatmeal) colours.

Apple has also been working on Tile-trackers called AirTag but there is no information on when the tech giant plans to launch the Bluetooth-based tracker.
