Surprise NFC, Find Hub setup, keychain cases

Key Points:

• The Pixel Tag, launching tomorrow, completes the Made by Google 2026 lineup and is the first Find Hub tracker to include NFC, allowing users to tap the tracker to their phone to quickly access device settings.
• NFC functionality varies by Android version: on Android 17 QPR2, tapping opens the details page immediately, while on QPR1, it triggers a system notification first; the Pixel Tag also supports Bluetooth 6.0 with Channel Sounding and Ultra Wideband (UWB).
• The Find Hub setup process now includes a screen for configuring features such as notifications for when the tag is left behind, ringing the phone, editing the tag's name and category, and adjusting volume.
• The Pixel Tag has a physical button that can ring a nearby phone with a double click and silence it with a single click; this feature can be disabled individually via the device settings.
• Google is partnering with Bellroy for Pixel Tag cases, offering two models: a silicone Lite Case Duo ($24.99 for two) and a Leather Tag Case ($29.99) in multiple colors, as Google does not provide a first-party case.
