TL; DR
- A leakage recommends a Google tracker, comparable to an AirTag, might be in the works.
- It would likely have an audio speaker and also probably make use of the inactive ultra-wideband technology in Pixel phones.
- Not much is learnt about the item, however it would likely introduce this year.
Personal trackers came to be preferred with Tile, however Apple’s AirTag is what truly sent out the market ablaze. Although Apple has actually dealt with a great deal of dispute with the item, AirTags are coming to be the de facto tracker for the masses.
Well, Google isn’t ready to relax and also allow that take place. According to dependable leaker Kuba Wojciechowski, a Google tracker might be in the works that would certainly be a straight rival to AirTags. Allegedly, the codename for this item is “grogu,” also known as the actual name of “Baby Yoda” from the television collectionThe Mandalorian This is a charming name since Grogu is basically a little device for The Mandalorian.
According to Wojciechowski, the supposed Google tracker would certainly be extremely comparable to an AirTag. It might consist of an audio speaker, come in numerous shades, and also may additionally sustain Bluetooth LE and also ultra-wideband (UWB).
That tail end is truly fascinating. Since the Pixel 6 collection, Google has actually consisted of UWB technology in its phones. However, it hasn’t done anything of any type of actual material with this technology. By launching a tracker, Google might place this technology to function by permitting individuals to obtain ultra-specific place information for their trackers (and also, hence, what that tracker is connected to).
Unfortunately, Wojciechowski does not have any type of details on the actual item name for the affirmedGoogle tracker We additionally do not recognize when it would certainly introduce. However, it’s affordable to think Googe might introduce this modern technology at Google I/O in the Spring and after that launch the item in October at its yearly equipment occasion. Time will certainly inform!
