Pixel Tag: Four features Google must nail to beat AirTag

A tech writer argues that Google’s rumored Pixel Tag could rival Apple’s AirTag only if Google borrows four key features: Precision Finding via ultra-wideband (UWB) for directional locating; a robust, crowdsourced Find Hub network that works automatically like Find My; a replaceable battery for long-term convenience; and a built-in lanyard hole for easy attachment. With Pixel Pro phones already supporting UWB, Google should integrate these capabilities, ensuring Find Hub runs seamlessly across devices to truly compete with AirTag.

Xiaomi Tag debuts as budget tracker with dual Find My and Find Hub support

Xiaomi announced its first Bluetooth tracker, the Xiaomi Tag, featuring a built‑in metal loop to clip to a keyring or carabiner. It works with Apple’s Find My or Google’s Find Hub during setup (not both simultaneously), runs on a replaceable CR2032 battery for up to a year, and has IP67 dust/water resistance plus NFC for sharing contact details. Unlike AirTag, it lacks UWB for precise location and relies on audible cues for nearby finding; it’s cheaper, priced at £12.99 ($18) for one or £44.99 ($61) for a four-pack.

Google's Nest Locator Tag could outdo Apple's AirTags in location tracking.

Rumors suggest that Google may be launching its own Bluetooth tracker reader, similar to Apple's AirTag, at its upcoming event, Google I/O 2023. Leaked company documentation reveals that at least three major Bluetooth tracker makers are working to make their devices compatible with an Android-based Find My clone. Google has been working on this rumored Finder Network for nearly two years, and the Nest team is said to be developing the product, which could support ultra-wideband much like its Apple counterpart. However, it remains unclear whether Google could have its own Bluetooth tracker reader for its big event, or even on the docket for 2023.
