Whats NEW in Pixel?
-
Smaller & Lighter
Look at the specs, Pixel TrackR is lighter than TrackR Bravo as well as it is smaller in diameter, however it has become slightly thicker to the prior version, this may be due to the fact that they wanted to add a Glowing ring around.
-
LED lights
Just look at the photograph above, showing complete ring glowing in the dark, making it easy to locate. With this super change also the company claims One year of battery life, Good optimization indeed.
Prior version Bravo had only LED light which was difficult to locate in darkness. -
Alexa Skill
Easy to use, simply ask about your phone to your Amazon Alexa-enabled device and you will be guided.
-
Replaceable Battery
Again similar to the previous version, Pixel comes with a replaceable battery, which again lasts for one year.

This was also there on Bravo, but in this case looks like company has made it further ring loud. Excat value in dB is not available on company website though.

Important feature is to share the same device across family, so commonly used things like a TV remote or Car keys can be shared across family members multiple phones, I loved this simple value additon.

Crowd Locate
While you forget the tracker and get out of BT range, the Crowd locate feature comes into picture. When someone else having TrackR App with BT ON get s near to your tracker, it automatically picks up the location and informs to the crowd GPS network, in tern, you get a confidential location update. Surprisingly the TrackR Network receives more than 360,000,000 individual item updates every month!! Wow !!!
