The Story in Brief
Samsonite has launched the Zipprix FT Waypoint, a luggage range with a tracker built into the leather personalisation tag. The tracker works with both Apple Find My and Google Find Hub, eliminating the need for separate accessories or extra apps. The bag costs roughly Rs 1,500 more than the standard Zipprix FT.
Tracking precision relies on Apple and Google's crowd-sourced device networks, not dedicated GPS or Ultra-Wideband. Gadgets360 reports the feature helps solve the common problem of locating misplaced luggage, though accuracy depends on nearby devices running these networks.
The Indian Opinion
Some will call this a gimmick, but Rs 1,500 for peace of mind on a ₹10,000+ suitcase is reasonable. The crowd-sourced tracking, not GPS, means it won't help if your bag is truly lost in transit, only when it's near other phones. Watch how well Google Find Hub performs outside big cities; that will decide if this is a genuine fix or just marketing fluff.
