We’ve all been there before — you're running late for work or an appointment, and you can't find your keys… your wallet…or kids. Okay, maybe not the kids, but it can be extremely frustrating when you're unable to remember where you put your belongings. 

Thankfully, many options are available to consumers to help quickly locate lost items, including the 2022 Tile Slim tracker, which was released with our all new 2022 Tile tracker collection.

This unique Bluetooth tracker is vastly improved from the previous generation of Tile Slim wallet trackers. Along with new advanced features, it also has an easy-to-use app that allows users to find lost items within just a few minutes. 

The following sections will dive deeper into the main differences between the Tile Slim 2022 and the Tile Slim 2020, but if you want to see the power of the Tile products today, you should consider downloading the Life360 app from either the Apple or Android store. Learn about Tile Mate 2020 vs 2022.

Tile Slim 2022 review

The Tile Slim is back with a new sleek design that rivals even the best Bluetooth tracking devices in the industry. While the new 2022 Tile Slim model has kept all the premium features that the 2020 version had, it has added several new elements that elevate the tracker into a league of its own — a few of which include a QR Code and a total weight of just 0.005 ounces. 

Between the improved features, design, and price points, the Tile Slim 2022 is one of the best Bluetooth trackers available today. 

What is the difference between Tile Slim 2020 vs. 2022?

It's essential to look at every angle when comparing the Tile Slim 2020 vs. 2022 to see the improvements made to the newer model. Below is a closer look at elements such as Tile Slim dimensions, weight, range, features, and battery life. 

Tile Slim Dimensions

There is little noticeable difference in the physical size of the Tile Slim 2022 vs. 2020. In fact, even though the new Bluetooth wallet tracker is a hair shorter in width and length, it is slightly thicker than the 2020 model. 

Overall, the slight change in dimensions doesn't necessarily give an advantage or disadvantage to the Tile Slim 2022. Both versions fit effortlessly into wallets, books, or other valuable items.

Tile Slim Weight

Where there is an obvious advantage of the Tile Slim 2022 is the weight category. While the Tile Slim 2020 is extremely lightweight at 1.4 ounces, the 2022 new model feels almost as light as air, weighing only 0.005 ounces.

The Tile Slim 2022's incredibly lightweight design makes it possible to slip into your wallet without noticing a difference in the way it feels.

Tile Slim Wallet Tracker Range

The range is another essential element for your Bluetooth tracking product. The original 2020 Slim Tile tracking device was suitable for a range of about 200 ft. With the new 2022 Tile Slim, you can reach an additional 50 ft as the tracker has a range of 250 ft. 

The 25% increase in range will make it possible to find your items even if you leave them outside in your vehicle.

One feature unique to the 2022 Tile Slim is the QR code on the back of the device. If you lose your tracker and a stranger finds it, all they would have to do is scan the code, and it will provide your contact information for them to call and return your item. 

Tile Slim Battery Life

Both models of Tile Slim, the 2020 and 2020, have a built-in 3-year non-replaceable battery. Even though it's impossible to replace the battery, the Tile Slim has a durable battery that will continue to operate at optimal levels for the battery's life.

Is the Tile Slim 2022 better than the Tile Slim 2020?

Overall, both versions of the Tile Slim are reliable for tracking your misplaced items. However, the improved range, decrease in weight, and the addition of a scannable QR code make the Tile Slim 2022 the better option. 

Should I upgrade to the Tile Slim 2022?

Many factors go into upgrading from the Tile Slim 2020 to the Tile Slim 2022. For example, if you're looking for a new Bluetooth tracking device that is incredibly lightweight with a better range, it might make sense to upgrade. 

Another consideration is how long you've had your current Tile Slim 2020. Since the device has a 3-year non-replaceable battery, there's a chance that you'll need to replace your device within a year or two. With the new Tile Slim 2022's affordable price point, it makes sense to upgrade before your old tracker's battery life drains completely. 

Upgrading your device to the Tile Slim 2022 wallet tracker is easy, and there are many patterns to choose from, including the Rose Palace Slim, Burnt Orange Slim, and the Traditional Black Slim.
