On Monday, Google announced that it has caught up with the Joneses, and lit up its own Android tracking network, similar to Apple's Find My asset tracker whose most popular product is perhaps the AirTag.options include phone tracking through the power of the million of Bluetooth-enabled devices around it running Android .
Nest integration and easy key sharing, as well as Find Nearby button for immediate phone location are a go, too, as with any self-respecting tracking service. Third-party headphone brands like Sony or JBL will also be able to integrate Android's asset tracking functionality with a software update.One of the more intriguing features of Google's find my device network is the ability to track and locate a phone even when its battery is dead and the handset wouldn't turn on.
At the time, Google said that they have special hardware inside, probably a low power Bluetooth chip which is able to emit signal even when the battery capacity left is not enough to power on the device.That is rather explicable, since they are the ones with the most modern chipsets that have every available connectivity technology, including the latest low-power Bluetooth chips, cramped in their system boards.
