The latter seems to be the difference between either Tile Pro and the best older Mate. A difference of 8 db makes a world of difference to one who is hearing-impaired. If the difference is only 1 or 2 decibels between models is not worth upgrading. My biggest complaint is Tile's use of loudest, louder, and loud in documentation instead of decibel ratings. The plain smooth surface and rounded corners also helps reduce tangling. It also looks like a standard key fob so is less a target for immediate destruction by malefactors. The narrowing by 25% or so from the older tile pro makes the new pro less likely to twist and tangle. Tile Pro (2022) review: Still the best key finder you can buy : Read moreDinging the new Pro for being plain? Oh, pshaw. Here's why it's the best key finder available. A Scan and Secure capability for making sure people aren't using Tiles to track your whereabouts without your knowledge is arriving next year.Īdmin said:The Tile Pro (2022) gets a new look in the latest version of this key finder, though its top features - wide range and a loud alarm - remain intact. It's a less hit-or-miss way of returning your valuables to you than Tile's old "Notify Me When Found" feature. All they have to do is scan the QR code with their phone, and that will share contact information with you through the Tile app. This is part of a Lost and Found feature that makes it easier for people to return a truly lost Tile track. The backside of the Tile Pro includes a very faint QR code you'd have to squint to see. The Tile Pro has a good range, overall, but your mileage may vary depending on where you are when you need to connect to your key finder. In a different testing locale - one with a greater incidence of radio interference - I could only get 90 to 100 feet away before dropping my connection. In that same park, I walked in a different direction where a nearby building blocked the Tile Pro's signal at around 180 feet. Be aware, though, that performance can vary based on physical barriers and over-the-air interference. I'd say that's pretty accurate, as during my park testing, I could still pick up a signal on my phone from more than 200 feet away. Speaking of distance testing, Tile promises a range of up to 400 feet with its Pro tracker. Testing the Tile Pro in a public park, I could still hear the alarm clearly at 120 feet, with the sound not growing faint until around 150 feet. The alarm is still the loudest Tile has to offer I could hear it clearly from a room away when I used the app on my iPhone to locate the Tile Pro, as it sat in a coat pocket inside a closet. The Tile Pro (2020) may look different from its predecessors, but little has changed with its performance. You shouldn't have to do that for about a year, according to Tile's estimates. The Tile Pro continues to feature a replaceable battery, and it's easy enough to slide open the back panel and swap in a new CR2032 battery when required. I find that particularly helpful when I've mislaid my iPhone, which actually happens with greater frequency than losing my keys. Until then, the Tile Pro can do something Apple's AirTag cannot - you can press a button on the key finder to make your phone buzz and beep. If that's a feature you'd want, you may want to hold off until early next year when the Tile Ultra is expected to deliver that capability to Tile's key finders. The Tile Pro continues to rely solely on Bluetooth at a time when other key finders - notably Apple Tag and Samsung's SmartTag Plus - support Ultra Wideband for more precise finding.
