Read our full tile mate 2020 review.
													
																	Tile vs other trackers. 
									
	
		
	
																	The tile mate is the classic tracker. 
																	That s another reason we have a hard time recommending the mate these days which hasn t seen the same gains as tile s other trackers. 
																	Tiles outside of bluetooth range use a crowd gps concept that searches for other tile users nearby. 
																	It has a range of 200 feet and a battery that should last three years. 
															
													
									
	
		
	
																	It also has a replaceable battery option which is better than rather buying a new tracker. 
																	Tile on the other hand is waterproof but the battery cannot be replaced and you would need to buy a new device. 
																	You can still ring your tile or ring your phone from up to 200 feet away and because it s slimmer and a little lighter it s a breeze to carry around on your keychain or in your bag. 
																	The tile mate is the classic tracker you ve come to expect from tile. 
															
													
									
	
		
	
																	The tile slim is a credit card sized tracker designed to fit easily in your wallet or purse. 
																	Tile s trackers are great hardware and since tile has the largest network of devices and users you re more likely to find lost stuff using a tile tracker than with any other company s tracker.
