Key findings from ZDNET

• The Chipolo One point and Card Point start at $28.
• They are extremely accurate, robust, and integrate well into the Google ecosystem.
• However, the One is only splash-proof and the Card version has a non-user-replaceable battery.

AirTags are one of the things that differentiate the Apple ecosystem from the Android ecosystem. But now that Google has launched its Find My Device network, the Android ecosystem is catching up.

And at the helm is Slovenia-based tech company Chipolo, which has been in the finder tag market for over a decade (the company uses the word “finder” instead of “tracker”) and has now released two tags exclusively for Android users has — The One point Keychain for keys etc Map point for wallets and bags.

The One Point is a keychain that fits on a key ring or anything else you can attach a keychain to – from your pet to your bike. It measures 1.49 inches/37.9 mm, is 0.25 inches/6.4 mm thin and is splash-proof according to the IPX5 standard.

The tiny trailer’s power supply is user-replaceable CR2032 lithium button cell this should take about a year.

As far as range goes, the key fob goes up to about 200ft/60m if you want to activate it to play a sound.

The Card Point is a thin plastic finder measuring 85.1 x 53.6 mm (3.35 x 2.11 inches) and just 2.4 mm (0.09 inches) thick – about three times the thickness of a Credit card.

Like the One Point, the Card Point is splash-proof to the IPX5 standard and has a range of 200 feet/60 m, but unlike the One Point pendant, the Card Point does not have a user-replaceable battery. This may seem like a disadvantage, but it’s a necessary compromise to have such a thin card.

Additionally, owners who register their Finder with Chipolo after adding it to the Google Find My Device app will receive an email with a 50% discount code for a new Finder in two years, and users can send the old Finder for recycling for free return.

Everything about the Chipolo Finders is easy, from the one-tap setup to the loud 105dB speaker that can be heard despite the busy world.

I tested the searching ability of these Chipolo finders and they are extremely accurate and can locate the tags from a distance – for example hidden in a flower pot on the street or when stored in the back of a sofa.

They are like AirTags but for Android users.

However, I can’t do that many tests. To allow for better and longer testing, I passed the tags on to someone who has a habit of misplacing just about everything. This puts these tags through a rigorous field test, and if anything new comes along, I’ll be sure to update this review.

If you are an Android user who has been jealous of iPhone users with AirTags, this is your chance to put an end to that feeling.
