Jio, one of India’s leading telecommunications companies, has recently expanded its product offerings with two advanced Bluetooth tracking devices—JioTag Go and JioTag Air. Both priced at Rs 1499, these trackers cater to users looking to keep their belongings safe and easily trackable. While they share a similar price tag, there are key differences in terms of functionality, compatibility, and features. Let’s find out.
1. Compatibility and network integration
The major difference between the JioTag Go and JioTag Air lies in their compatibility with different networks. The JioTag Air is designed to integrate with the Apple Find My Network, making it ideal for iPhone users. This device enables easy location tracking for iOS devices through Apple’s dedicated Find My app. On the other hand, the JioTag Go works with Google’s Find My Device Network, designed for Android users. This integration allows Android phone owners to easily track their JioTag Go via Google’s Find My Device app, which is already widely used across millions of devices globally.
2. Tracking capabilities
Both trackers offer real-time location updates, but the key difference lies in their underlying ecosystems. JioTag Air users can benefit from the robust network of iPhones and Apple devices that help in finding lost items, especially when they are out of range of the tracker’s direct Bluetooth connection. This network of nearby Apple devices helps improve the accuracy of locating items.
In oppose, the JioTag Go uses Google’s Find My Device network, which is inbuilt into Android devices. Android’s ecosystem is vast, and using JioTag Go, users can connect with millions of devices to find their lost items with ease. This makes JioTag Go a great choice for the vast Android user base.
3. Design and usage
Both devices are compact and easy to use. JioTag Go is a small coin-sized tracker that can be attached to keys, wallets, luggage, bikes, or any other item you wish to keep track of. It comes in a variety of colors, offering a personal touch to the device.
Similarly, JioTag Air offers the same level of portability and versatility, but its integration with the Apple ecosystem makes it especially appealing to iPhone users who prefer an all-in-one experience within the Apple platform.
4. Price and availability
Both devices are available at the same price point of Rs 1499, making them an affordable and practical option for anyone looking to add an extra layer of security to their valuable items. You can buy the JioTag Go and JioTag Air through popular online platforms like Amazon, JioMart, and in Reliance Digital and My Jio Stores.
Final take
While both the JioTag Go and JioTag Air offer similar features, the decision between the two largely depends on the user’s ecosystem choice- whether you are an iOS or Android user. Both devices are a good choice at Rs 1499 for anyone looking for a simple and effective way to track their valuables.
