Summer is coming, and with it the vacations of many. This is a time when we usually travel with suitcases in different modes of transport, both by plane, train or bus, and we are always afraid that our luggage will not reach its destination or that someone will take it from us, whether on purpose or by mistake.
That is why today we are going to see the best devices with Bluetooth to locate our belongings and know where they are at all times. No need for GPS or SIM cards.
Best Bluetooth locators
We will start with the most popular, although they all have a very similar system and functions.
1. Apple AirTag
The most popular, although of course, if you don’t have an iPhone, its functions become more basic. Oriented to the world, Apple is the best option, because the network of telephones that help to find your object is wider. Any iPhone in the world that is close to our AirTag will help us locate it. This is a great point, because there is always one nearby. In addition, its battery promises more than 1 year without the need to change the battery. I have two, and they are both close to 2 years old without having marked “low battery” yet, so I don’t know what their real duration will be, but it is quite good.
2.tile
We would talk about the best-selling tracker in the world after the AirTag. More than 40 million of them around the world, make the location network a key point to opt for this brand. Since it works in a similar way to AirTag, only instead of using Apple devices, it would do it with people who already have a Tile and the App installed. It is something much less common than having an iPhone but the large number of them makes it a very interesting option as well.
3.Galaxy SmartTag
The “copy” of the AirTag but from its competitor Samsung. Little can we talk about him since its operation is the same again, but this time with mobile phones from the Japanese brand. Somewhat cheaper than the apple one, it becomes the ideal option if you have a Samsung mobile.
There are other models like Chipolo, SpotyPal, Cube Shadow, TrackR Pixel and many more. However, we avoid recommending them since their price is very similar and their location network is much smaller. Unless you only need a few basic functions, they would not be the best for you.
Vodafone Curve, the alternative with SIM
After seeing the 3 best Bluetooth trackers, we are going to leave you an alternative with a SIM card in case you want greater security and not depend on whether another device passes near your locator. This would be from the Vodafone company and would have a data plan necessary to permanently send the location. Its cost is €2 per month.
The advantage is clear, since you will always have a connection to the deviceHowever, apart from its monthly cost, you have to take into account the battery consumption due to that. Since you will have to charge it about once a week.
You can see all your information on the official page.
Now that you know what options you have to always have your luggage under control, it’s a matter of the type of mobile or preference you have when choosing which one to keep. Its design, features and price are very similar, so choose the one that best suits you and rest assured about your bags.
