Tile, a pioneer in Bluetooth tracking technology, has unveiled its 2024 lineup of trackers, with the Tile Pro leading the pack as a compelling option for Android users seeking a reliable way to keep tabs on their valuables.
The new Tile Pro 2024 boasts several notable improvements:
-
Extended Range: With an impressive 500-foot Bluetooth range, the Tile Pro 2024 outperforms most competitors in the market. Real-world tests confirmed its ability to maintain a strong signal across significant distances, even with some obstructions.
-
Emergency Alert Feature: Leveraging Tile's integration with Life360, users can now trigger an SOS alert by triple-pressing the tracker's button. This sends location information to designated contacts and optionally to local authorities.
-
Improved Battery Life: The device uses a standard CR2032 button battery, promising an average lifespan of three years - a significant improvement over many competing trackers.
-
Enhanced Network: Tile's second-largest crowd-powered tracking network (after Apple's) has expanded further through integration with Life360, potentially improving the chances of locating lost items outside Bluetooth range.
-
Louder Alerts: Tile claims the 2024 Pro is their loudest tracker yet, with tests confirming audibility from considerable distances.
Priced at $35 per tracker, the Tile Pro 2024 is available in black and white color options. While many advanced features require a subscription to either Tile or Life360 services, the basic tracking functionality remains accessible without additional fees.
For Android users, especially those not committed to waiting for improvements in Google's Find My Device network, the Tile Pro 2024 presents a compelling option. Its combination of extended range, emergency features, and established network make it a strong contender in the Bluetooth tracker market.
However, iPhone users may still find more value in sticking with Apple's AirTag, given the unparalleled reach of Apple's Find My network.
As Tile continues to evolve under Life360's ownership, future developments may include UWB-enabled trackers and even more advanced location technologies, potentially cementing Tile's position as a leader in the tracking device market for years to come.
