Pixel Tag steps into the AirTag arena at a $29 price

Google debuts the Pixel Tag as a first‑party Android tracker with Find Hub support and UWB-based Precision Finding. The oblong tracker, powered by a replaceable CR2032 battery, can guide you to a lost item with directional arrows and can be located via Pixel Watch or Pixel Buds. It costs $29 (or $99 for a four‑pack) and won’t go on sale until November 11, entering a crowded market with potential in Google’s ecosystem, though it oddly lacks a built‑in hole for attaching to items.

Tile is not currently working on a compatible tracker for Google's Find My Device network, despite being previously mentioned as a partner. The company is focusing on integrating its technology into the Life360 map and providing a cross-platform solution for locating people, pets, and things. Google's Find My Device network, which relies on Bluetooth proximity, has gone live in the US and Canada with support from various brands, but Tile's compatible tracker is notably absent from the list.

"Google's Android Bluetooth Trackers and Find My Device Network: What You Need to Know"

Android's Bluetooth tracking network, announced a year early, is set to launch with hardware partners Pebblebee and Chipolo shipping their trackers in late May. The trackers will be supported by Android's 3 billion-device Bluetooth tracker network and can be tracked using Google's "Find My Device" app. The devices will use speaker-based tracking and will be part of a joint standard with Apple to alert users if a tracker is being used to stalk them. The delay in shipping was due to waiting for Apple's release of its half of the joint tracking standard, which is expected to come out in iOS 17.5 at the end of May.
