Google’s Pixel Tag goes on sale for $29.99
Google’s Pixel Tag is now available to buy, with a single tracker priced at $29.99 and a four-pack at $99.99. Announced in August, it works with Google’s tracking network and Find Hub app, renamed from the company’s previous tracking app last year.
The Pixel Tag weighs 0.4 ounces, making it slightly lighter than Apple’s AirTag 2. Its oblong shape is longer but thinner than Apple’s tracker. There is no built-in hole for attaching it to keys or luggage, though accessories can tether it to belongings. A button on the Pixel Tag can also make a misplaced phone play a sound, a feature Apple’s AirTag does not have.
Google says the tracker’s CR2032 coin battery lasts more than a year. It has an IP67 rating for dust resistance and protection against shallow water immersion, along with ultra-wideband (UWB) support and Bluetooth 6.0 Channel Sounding. In Find Hub, nearby Android phones with a UWB chip can show the tracker’s precise distance and direction. Channel Sounding provides distance information only.
The Pixel Tag works with phones running Android 9 or later. Precise locating features require a phone with a UWB chip or support for Bluetooth 6.0.
