Looking to keep track of your belongings with ease? The latest buzz in the tech world revolves around Eufy’s unveiling of two wallet-friendly tracking devices, perfect for those who are prone to misplacing keys, luggage, or even wallets. While the launch may have been overshadowed by the hype surrounding Google’s revamped Find My Device network, these offerings are definitely worth your attention.
Eufy’s SmartTrack devices, namely the SmartTrack Link and the SmartTrack Card, are set to revolutionize the way Android users keep tabs on their essentials. Leveraging Google’s Find My Device network, akin to Apple’s Find My network, these gadgets tap into the vast network of Android devices worldwide, ensuring you never lose sight of your belongings again.
Both the SmartTrack Link and Card boast compatibility with Google’s Find My Device network and promise support for unknown tracker alerts, a feature expected to make its way to iPhones with the upcoming iOS 17.5 update in mid-May. This means Android users can rest assured knowing their devices will seamlessly integrate into the tracking ecosystem, regardless of platform.
What’s more, thanks to Google’s crowd-sourced approach to device tracking, even if your SmartTrack device goes offline, you’ll still be able to pinpoint its location on a map, providing unparalleled peace of mind.
While pricing details for the SmartTrack Link and Card are yet to be officially confirmed by Eufy, a quick glance at their existing offerings for Apple’s Find My network provides a promising indicator. With the SmartTrack Link priced at $19.99 / £19.99 and the SmartTrack Card at $29.99 / £29.99, both of which frequently see significant discounts, these devices are poised to become irresistible impulse buys for Android users come June.
Eufy’s foray into the Android tracking market adds to the growing array of options available for users seeking to safeguard their belongings. Joining the ranks of competitors such as Chipolo and Pebblebee, Eufy’s offerings promise not only affordability but also a seamless setup process with Fast Pair support.
Chipolo offers its One Point tracker for $28 / £30 and the Card Point tracker for $35 / £35, while Pebblebee presents its Clip and Card trackers at a similar price point. Additionally, Pebblebee stands out with its extra-small Tag tracker, catering to those who prioritize portability.
As the Android tracking landscape continues to evolve, one notable absence from the party is Tile, which appears to be focusing on other ventures following its acquisition by Life360. Nevertheless, with Eufy now entering the fray alongside Chipolo and Pebblebee, Android users can look forward to a diverse range of Find My Device tracking options.
With the global rollout of Google’s Find My Device network slated for completion by the end of June, the stage is set for Android users to embrace the era of hassle-free tracking. So, mark your calendars for June, and get ready to bid farewell to the woes of misplaced belongings!
