I'll just wait for tracker using the Find My network to come out. At least it's going to be more universal and not Samsung-specific.
- They already are, at least here in the UK. I’ve got a bunch of Eufy tags, work great.
  
  Eufy tags
  I thought they didn't support android?
  
  Are you sure? The only brand Google mentioned making devices that supported their new Find my Device network was Pebblebee and Chipolo.
  I have a Chipolo One tag but it won't be compatible with the new Find my Device network.

- Unless you want it to work in Korea?
  
  Any phone with Google Play services will work with them, so yes?
It works only with Samsung devices, it's dull
- Isn't airtag the same thing but with iphones? Either way would be nice to have something universal.
  
  It's a shame the Google/Android version doesn't work on iOS. Still. At least it will be all Android phones.
  
  Tile is quite universal but has a weak network in many places unfortunately.
- I downloaded the smart things app on my pixel and I've got the option to add a tracker. I don't have one to test with, but is it actually limited to Samsung devices?
  
  In the beginning of the article (emphasis not mine)
  The SmartTag 2 only works with Samsung phones running Android 9.0 and above. It not only requires SmartThings as a companion app, but the app has to be specifically installed on a Samsung phone. This already excludes more than half of Android’s worldwide users from ever using the tracker.
