The biggest question is whether the Google Find-My-Device network is an "opt-in" or "opt-out" network. If people have to specifically opt-in for their phone to even report a location of an encountered tracker, it'll be very limited. Especially in the areas with limited tracker availability. Apple and Samsung report the location automatically regardless and that's what makes them awesome
Opt In currently but is going to Automatically Opt People in Later in most countries for better reliability, Remember all data is Encrypted and Anonymised so should be safe to use

I've been using these now for 3 months and they are nowhere near as good as apples airtags. Google's network isn't as big as apples. I've tested 3 pebble tags over 3 months. These tags have only been seen (registered) by other android phones 26 times. I carried the tags with me into the office which has approx 200 people in it. Along with visiting shops and supermarkets. Was shocked at how poor they performed. Apple airtags performed way better. Had no issues tracking the tags and providing near realtime.updates . I'm sure once Android turns on the network for all their phone by default it will be better. But at the moment. It's just not there. Which makes android based trackers nearly useless.
I really hope Google does release a first party version. If they happen buy Pebblebee I just hope they build upon the excellent foundation they already have. The only change I would want is a more aesthetically pleasingly look to the trackers and hopefully some nice looking cases like the leather ones made for airtags.
As I've read from the comments and already feared myself ... this is a great concept but ... as long as android users have to willingly download and participate in the 'find my device' app; it is almost useless since almost no one has done this. I myself just downloaded and activated it because of this vid ... so I'm sure 99% in my region has not.
Are these features USA/North America only? Find My Device hasn't been updated since May for me in the UK so these features & new 3rd party compatibility are nonexistent.
Jordan, either you have big man hands or that Pixel 8a is smaller than I thought 😂 Either way, great video!! I'm waiting for Google's tags, mainly for UWB.
Been testing this on my cat that is an indoor cat but tends to like to go play hide and seek, so I need to check the cat is ok, so far it has been abused in cat food, water, banged around hard and is fairly good within the range of the WIFI. so for outdoor tracking.. not so much unless your close by with your phone. The size is rather large, and that is my only complaint, I use the one that looks like the dog tag. Its the biggest thing on my cats neck, did not like it at first but has gotten use to it. and although its almost weightless it is bulky.
I prefer to use Google products because I like their platform and features. However, I wouldn't have any issue using third-party air tags that offer the same functionality as Google's. The design and appearance are unimportant to me; I only care about the essential features. I would be happy to use them if they worked seamlessly with the Google platform. I wouldn't be concerned with any other aspects. Just provide me with the functionality I desire and ensure it integrates with the Google ecosystem. That's all I ask for; I won't quibble over anything else. I just want what I paid for, nothing more.
It doesn't work.I've had 2 for three weeks. The find my network does not locate them on any phone other than my own. You have to change your settings to be "network in all areas". Since this is NOT the default, almost no android phones will ping a Pebblebe tracker. Unless Google changes this default setting and pushes it to everyone, these tags are almost useless.
@@ChicagomostlyYou are correct and this is super irritating. They're mostly useless, as I only can see my clips location every few days. The Samsung tags work much much better, but limited to only Samsung phones.
When using the Samsung Galaxy SmartTags, you have beside the last known location also a location history for the last 7 days. Does Google Find my device also has this location history?
Uhm.. I think you have that backwards.. "rechargeable batteries" have limited lifespans and once dead, on devices like these, are not replaceable. Admittedly, given the time between charges, it's effectively forever, but point stands. On the other hand, you can get rechargeable button batteries and since they are replaceable, you can ... replace them.
Only US & Canada for now. But google says in upcoming months it should be worldwide. I'd bet it will happen in October Google I/O event, along pixel 9 lineup release. 😉
It probably should have been mentioned that all of the "Find my Device" tags will not really work very well at all until Google defaults to Opt-out of the location network.
I like this. I had been using a tile pro for my keys and had a tile card for my wallet but the tile card had a non replacable battery and it died. I like that. Ive been considering switching to the Samsung tracker with my s23fe. Now that this is available im not sure. How robust the tracking network is the decision factor to think about. The Samsung tracker will support ultra wide band though
@CrisCheese_ they don't really work in Europe either as users need to opt in which hardly anybody does. Still better off buying a second hand iphone and use airtags, as ridiculous as that sounds.
I'm from Belgium. Apparently pebblebee is only based in America. Look at chipolo. They are shipping from Slovenia. I preffer the pebblebee because is has a longer range. But import fees, taxes and shipping are not worth it in my opinion.

Are you able to share the location with iPhone devices? I have an iPad and bought an Airtag (w/ the assumption it needed to be setup on an Apple device) but Apple has blocked tracking from their Find My website, and you can only track an Airtag using an iOS device, which means you can only share it with Apple devices. I hope Google hasn't implemented this same restriction and lets you track a shared tag from any device.
not sure about your question, but my google phone is able to track airtags around its vicinity and ping them too, im assuming apple cant force others to be unable to track airtags because that only benefits them and potential stalkers.
@@bmz4 Yes, any phone can detect "unknown" tracker devices, including Airtags, because of safety reasons, which I think there was legislation passed forcing this. This isn't what I'm referring to. You can only share Apple Airtags with other Apple users. Even though Apple offers "Find My" tracking on a web-based site, they have blocked Airtags from being shown on the website. You can only see the live location of Airtags using an iOS device.
I've tried it with my own spare smartphones at home. I've left a OnePlus 7+ with Bluetooth on, but no other connectivity in the far side of my place. It got picked up by my Pixel 6 Pro and 8 Pro, plus my Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 on its own (with the corresponding smartphone being out of range) - though I have to test that last case again to be sure. I'll try to sign my wife up, too, so I can test how it works with phones from other people.
So the Chipolos are not rechargeable, less water resistant, and have less usage range? Why would anyone buy chipolo when they're pricing isn't even that much lower? Insanity.
Rechargeable batteries are not a good idea for trackers. They die much faster in cold weather. Alkaline batteries or whatever battery type is currently used in AirTags, Samsung SmartTags, etc are better and also user-replaceable.
I bought a Pixel with UWB. Why the extra hardware I paid for?? I cannot believe Google did not release UWB from the start, considering they have it in their own phones and all competition is already using it. I won't buy until they add support for UWB.
UWB would be nice. I bought a Moto Tag, but unfortunately, Find My Device does not support UWB yet. My issues stem from the FMD software. Default settings are they will only report location in high traffic areas. So don't expect much if you are not in a high traffic area. The FMD will map where the device is. Unfortunately, unlike Samsung, it doesn't map where you are. So it about like asking for directions to a location, and not knowing where you are starting. Samsung gives a history of where your device has been for the last week, which can give you a hint on where is will be. Also, Samsung will always report the last position was found. FMD forgets the last position if more than 7 days old. FMD is promising, but I am sticking to Samsung Smartags for now.
I mean, Samsung is not only a huge company, it's basically one of the biggest in South Korea with a monopoly in various sectors of the country. Google is already being looked at for antitrust violations, so absorbing a company (if they even could), with such a stranglehold of various markets (like the largest player in the android hardware ecosystem) would be a very bad idea.
Samsung had SmartTags way before this and works really well, Google is so incredibly slow at adopting actually important features like this. Google still does not have a proper tablet that comes with a stylus and Google Keep is trash for stylus writing. RCS needs more features too like imessage. Also still no adoption of Qi 2 wireless charging.
Adding to what @SnowyRVuplix, Google Keep wasn't meant to be a note-taking app like Apple's Notes app or Samsung Notes. Google Keeps is like the sticky notes app from Microsoft. Additionally, there may be some quirks when it comes to Qi 2, which is why companies, like google, haven't adopted the technology.
Rechargable batteries perform worse, does not last as long, and dies with age. I suggest getting the ones with user replacable batteries, as that will ensure battery isn't an issue during its (or the service, knowing google) lifetime.
I've had tile with replaceable batteries and it's a nightmare. They don't last long enough to forget about, but are not easy (and cheap) enough to replace often. With rechargeable, you at least can recharge easily and frequently, which I see as the lesser evil.
