How-To Geek • • technology
Key Points:
- Google is expected to announce the Pixel Tag, its first item tracker similar to Apple's AirTag, potentially alongside the Pixel 11 phones on August 12.
- The Pixel Tag is a pill-shaped device with a speaker, designed without clips or holes, making it suitable for purses, wallets, and luggage when used with a case.
- It lacks ultra-wideband (UWB) positioning but supports Google's Find My Device network, emphasizing privacy and seamless integration with Android devices.
- Priced around €26 in Europe (approximately $20-$30 in the U.S.), the Pixel Tag will compete with established Android trackers like Chipolo, Motorola, and Tile.
- The Pixel Tag's main appeal lies in being Google's official tracker, offering reliable compatibility with Android's Find My Device ecosystem, potentially outweighing other devices' technical features or lower prices.
