Find My Device
Of course, there is the “Find My Device” feature on any Android device. As long as your phone is attached to any Google Account, you can use it to find the device.

If you want to use the web, here you will find how. Log in to your Google Account and find your device on Maps. Also, you can download the “Find My Device” app on Google PlayStore and access it from another phone.
In case your phone is switched off or not connected to the Internet, you will see on the Maps the last known location of your device.
Use IMEI to track your lost Android device
If you cannot use the “Find My Device” option, you can try to find your device via the IMEI number.
This number is unique for each phone, and every time you make any call, send or receive a message, the IMEI number is automatically emitted.
Install AntiTheft App and IMEI Tracker and you’ll be able to track down your device the using IMEI number.
If you cannot find your phone for any reason, you can always erase it and lock it using “Find My Device”. This way, at least your personal data will remain safe.
