I finally found Bluetooth trackers for Android users who work better than Airtags (and are cheaper)


ZDNET’s main dishes

  • Chipolo a point and the card point are available from $ 22
  • They are very precise, robust and integrate well in the Google ecosystem.
  • However, that is only a splash test and the version of the card has a non -replaceable battery.

Chipolo is popular Bluetooth tracker at a point is on sale for 42% reduction more 10% additional with a coupon (or a promotional code JRSQHO6O48KE) on Amazon right now.


Airtags are one of the things that have distinguished the Apple ecosystem from the Android ecosystem. But now that Google has deployed its research network, the Android ecosystem is catching up.

Also: how to know if an Airtag secretly follows you – and what to do on this subject

And the spearhead which is Slovènie Chipolo, a technological company that is on the Finder tags (the company uses the word “Finder” rather than “tracker”) for more than a decade, and it has two tags exclusively for Android users – Users – Users – Users – Users – Users – Users – Users – Users – Users – Users – Users – Users – Users – Users USERS – Users – Users – Users – Users – Users – Users – Users – Users – User – User – User – User – User – User – Users – User – User – User – users – Users – User – Users – Users – Users – Users – Users – A point FOB for keys and Card point For wallets and bags.

The only point is a FOB that adapts to a keys or everything you may think about attaching a FOB – from your pet to your bike. It measures 1.49 inches / 37.9 mm and is 0.25 inches / 6.4 mm of lighting, and it is the test of splashes to the IPX5 standard.

Putting the tiny FOB is a user replacement CR2032 lithium Coin Cell It should last about a year. Regarding the beach, the FOB is good at around 200 feet / 60 m if you want to activate it to play a sound.

The card point is a thin plastic which measures 3.35 x 2.11 in (85.1 x 53.6 mm) and is only 0.09 inch (2.4 mm thick) – about three times the thickness of the credit card.

Like the only point, the card point is the test of splashes at the IPX5 standard and has a 200 -foot / 60 m sound activation range, but unlike the FOB at a point, the card point has no replacement battery by the user. This may look like a drawback, but it is a necessary compromise to have such a thin card.

Also: This wireless charger keeps my Google Pixel, my watch and my supplestar.

In addition, as an enclosure, the owners who record their researcher with Chipolo after adding it to the Google Find my device application will receive an e-mail with a 50% reduction code for a new researcher in two years, and users will be able to return the old Finder to recycle free.

Everything about the chipolo finders is easy, from configuration to a carpet at the noisy 105 dB enclosure which can be heard on the bustle of the world.

The configuration of chipolo finders is easy – tighten the tag to start the process!

I tested the observation capacity of these chipolo researchers and they are super precise, with the possibility of locating the labels at a distance – like hidden in a vegetable saucepan in a street or when it is stuffed in the back of a sofa.

They are just like Austags but for Android users.

However, there are only few tests that I can do, so in order to get better and no more tests, I gave labels to someone who used to misplace, finally, almost everything. This has given these labels a hardcore real world test, and I continue to hear about the quantity of shooting – and rescue – they have become in recent months. They therefore obtain an inch up there for conviviality, precision and longevity.

ZDNET purchase advice

If you are an Android user who has been jealous of iPhone users who have airbooks, it’s your chance to end this feeling. THE Chipolo a point is at a price of $ 22 for a single tag, while the Chipolo card point is $ 28 for a single card.
