Google's Pixel Tag debuts at $29 to challenge AirTag

Google today unveiled the Pixel Tag, its first item tracker. Made of stainless steel and IP67-rated for water and dust resistance, it includes a built-in speaker and an on-device button. It uses Bluetooth and Ultra Wideband for precise finding and relies on Google's Find Hub network of over a billion Android devices to locate items, with cross-platform alerts for iPhone users. The Pixel Tag will cost $29 for a single tag or $99 for a four-pack and launches in November 2026.

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.

Pixel Tag launches as Google's AirTag rival with UWB precision

Google unveils the Pixel Tag, a slim tracker that uses ultra-wideband and Bluetooth 6.0 Channel Sounding, priced at $29 with a $99 four-pack and launching November 11. It works with Google’s Find Hub network, supports precise distance and directional cues (UWB) on compatible devices, and can display exact distance (Channel Sounding) on Bluetooth 6.0 devices. The tag is IP67, uses CR2032 batteries, has no built-in clip, and is designed as a Pixel/Android rival to Apple’s AirTag, requiring newer Pixel hardware to access its advanced features and working with a Pixel Watch for some interactions.

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.
