Chipolo introduced the One Point and Card Point finders for Android users, featuring ultra-thin and keyfob forms designed to work with Google Find My Device. The Slovenia-based maker positioned the One Point as a splashproof key fob with a user-replaceable CR2032 battery, while the Card Point offers a wallet-friendly slim profile with an integrated, non-replaceable cell. Both launched with one-tap setup and a loud 105 dB speaker to help locate items at distance.
The One Point measures 37.9 mm and is IPX5 splashproof; the Card Point is roughly the size of a credit card at 85.1 x 53.6 mm and keeps a 2.4 mm thin build. Chipolo also included a recycling program plus a registered-user discount toward replacement in two years, underscoring device longevity. For Android owners, these finders deliver AirTag‑like locating without Apple hardware, improving everyday recovery of keys, wallets and bags while leveraging Google's locating network.
