Samsung Galaxy SmartTag and Apple AirTag analogue: Google is working on a tracker to find items, it is code-named Grogu
According to several sources, Google is working on an interesting new device.
Here's What We Know
We are talking about a track to find objects. That is, it will be analogous to the Samsung Galaxy SmartTag and Apple AirTag. The device goes with the codename Grogu (little Yoda from the series "Mandalorean") and the model number GR10. According to the leak, the gadget will work not only through Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology, but also with Ultra-Wideband (UWB). The development of the device is a team of Google Nest. The gadget will have a small speaker and several colors.
I have recently found references that show that Google's working on support for locator tags in Fast Pair - see the linked thread for more info. https://t.co/8tvlWaHQpv

Now it turns out Google's working on a first party tracker too!
When We Can Expect It
The tracker is still in the early stages of development. Perhaps it will be shown at the Google I/O conference in the spring, and the full release of the gadget will take place at the end of the year.
A few days ago, some ... interesting concept renders were posted online of a hypothetical Google-made tracker called the G Spot. While it was made as a joke, there's some truth to the slide where it says it'd use Fast Pair!
