We consider the size and shape of each key finder. We also look at the ease of inserting a new battery into those devices with replaceable batteries; if the battery can't we replaced, we consider whether the key finder maker has a replacement program in place. Owners of Samsung phones looking for the best key finder should consider the Samsung Galaxy SmartTag alongside the Tile Pro. Like the Tile Pro, the SmartTag fared well in our range testing, as we were able to stay connected to our keys from up to 225 feet away. We can also point to some real-world successes with the SmartTag, as our tester was able to find keys that were left behind using last-seen data from the companion SmartThings app. If you've got the previous version (the Tile Pro 2020), there's no need to upgrade, as the feature set remains as strong as ever. But if you have an older Tile or are looking for the best key finder around, your search should end with this latest edition of the Tile Pro.

Tile's reign as the maker of the best key finders is even more impressive considering who it's beating out. Apple and Samsung both have key finders, and Google has its Find My Device network almost ready to help users find lost items via their Android phones. (Tile is joining fellow key finder makers Chipolo and Pebblebee in supporting Find My Device.)verifyErrors }}{{ message }}{{ /verifyErrors }}{{ In October 2023, Samsung announced the SmartTag 2, which brings an improved Compass View for users with Ultra Wideband phones as well as a longer-lasting battery.
