Another certification shows the design of the Samsung Galaxy SmartTag 2
Samsung’s Galaxy SmartTag 2 was just spotted on the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) certification website, which hints that the gadget’s launch is near. This time Samsung designed the second generation of SmartTags like more of a pill-shaped device with a much wider keychain loop. SmartTags are powered by Bluetooth and are simple to attach to items like luggage, keys and pets. It is possible to search for the lost item by pressing the button on the phone to locate it. The Galaxy Find Network can use scanned data to locate it even when we’re connected.
Introduced on January 14, 2021, the SmartTag debuted with an introductory price of $29, and the Galaxy SmartTag+ uses Ultra-wideband technology to enable augmented reality (AR) to help locate the missing items, which costs around $39. The gadget has two categories of variants, the first and cheaper – Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology and the other expensive one – Ultra-wideband technology (UWB). And the SmartTag 2 is listed to be equipped with Bluetooth 5.3 standard and UWB.
Analysing the looks of the gadget from the image shared, the firm is replacing the rectangular form which was earlier used. Now the new edition has bigger slots for keychains, but the accurate size can be determined as no dimensions were mentioned. It also needs to be clarified whether the gadget comes as SmartTag 2 and SmartTag 2+ this time, as there is no mention of the plus variant on the FCC website. The listing also reveals the model number of the Galaxy SmartTag 2 as EI-T5600.
Earlier, the SmartTag 2 received Bluetooth SIG certification stating the Bluetooth 5.3 capability last month, which is an upgraded feature from its predecessor holding Bluetooth 5.2. The gadget will have a single channel, FPCB antenna and 3.0V power supply. The new specification aims to improve battery consumption, user experience and performance. Bluetooth 5.3 over 5.2 can lessen interference and improve signal strength.
Samsung introduced its latest AI TV, Neo QLED 8K QN900D, coupled with advanced technologies for enhancing the viewing experience.
Samsung has powered the latest AI TV with its most efficient and powerful processor, the 8K NQ8 AI Gen3 Processor, as well as a neural processing unit (NPU) that runs twice as fast as its predecessor. This new AI TV features eight times as many neural networks—512 instead of 64. It analyzes and optimizes content in real-time, capable of delivering superior picture and sound quality and elevating the TV experience to one that places viewers at the center.
8K AI Upscaling Pro and AI Motion Enhancer Pro deliver high-end clarity by sharpening low-resolution content and minimizing ball distortion and blurring. Samsung adds Active Voice Amplifier Pro to distinguish between voice and background noise.
While watching any show on TV, the Object Tracking Sout (OTS) Pro, viewers are no longer spectators. The AI Optimization automatically fine-tunes the settings for the best viewing experience, and the AI Auto Game Mode helps to recognize game titles and genres and automatically optimizes settings for an upgraded experience.
AI Energy Mode conserves energy by using sensors to analyze ambient lighting before automatically adjusting the AI TV screen’s brightness. The Samsung Tizen OS changed the AI TV into more than an entertainment center.
Samsung’s AI TV continues to grow to do just that by pushing the frontier of audio as well as visual experience and upgrading sustainability while putting AI to work under the hood.
