Google is rumored to be working with a Bluetooth tracking tag comparable to what you see from Ceramic tile, Apple’s AirTag, and also Samsung’s Galaxy SmartTag. The report comes from Twitter individual Kuba Wojciechowski (by means of XDA), who states the device is presently in development under Google’s Nest team. Nest is normally the wise home arm of Google’s equipment though. So a Bluetooth monitoring tag could sound like an odd undertaking for the Nest brand name.
With that in mind, Wojciechowski does mention that Nest managing advancement is not an admission of this being an upcoming Nest product. It is totally possible that Nest is presently handling development however may end up passing it off to an additional team later even more down the line.
The rumor points out that Google can be looking to release this tool towards completion of the year. Which would place it around the moment of its annual Autumn Pixel event. That isn’t to claim that this is going to be a Pixel item either. Simply that when you usually have a Google product launch towards the end of the year, it makes an appearance at this event. It’s likewise feasible that Google might mention this at its upcoming Google I/O meeting that occurs in May.
Google will offer a selection of different shades of its Bluetooth monitoring tag
Information are somewhat light at the moment for this potential new gadget. However the rumor does contain some info regarding it. Google will potentially be offering this device in a couple of various colors. This isn’t in any way a stretch considering every gadget Google offers these days has at the very least two or 3 shades readily available. Every one of its Nest items, the Chromecast with Google TV, and all of the products in its Pixel line. So it makes good sense below that Google would certainly do more than one color for a monitoring tag as well.
Along with numerous shade alternatives, the tracking tag is said to have an onboard speaker. As well as support for UWB (ultra-wide band) and Bluetooth Low Energy. Both of which are utilized to accurately track the place of the tag.
