To use SmartThings Find, ‘Allow this phone to be found’ in Find My Mobile settings must be turned on. On another Android phone or tablet, open the Find My Device app. You can also locate lost devices using the SmartThings Find feature within the SmartThings app.The connected phone or tablet’s Offline finding settings will also be applied to your Galaxy Watch and Buds.

When it's lost for sure, you have the option to remotely lock your device, block access to Samsung Pay, and even delete Samsung Pay or simply wipe data from the entire device. To nitpick Google's even more, they need to have an option to not broadcast to a phone "THIS DEVICE WAS LOCATED USING FIND DEVICE" which essentially means "THE UNSCRUPULOUS PERSON THAT FOUND OR STOLE THIS DEVICE THAT HAS NO INTENTIONS OF RETURNING IT, LET IT BE KNOWN THAT THE ORIGINAL OWNER IS LOOKING FOR THEIR PHONE, SO PLEASE TURN IT OFF TO KEEP THEM FROM FINDING IT." Use the Locate My Device function when you can't find your phone.
I agree that Samsung's find phone feature is way better than Google's find device feature.
