How to buy the new Google Pixel Tag
Google unveiled the Pixel Tag, Apple AirTag competitor, ahead of its Made by Google event. It costs $29 and launches in November.
Google has introduced the Pixel Tag, a Bluetooth tracker designed to compete with Apple's AirTag. This new product will be available for purchase at the Google Store, with an official release date set for Wednesday, November 11. Shoppers can sign up for in-stock alerts on Google's product page.
The Pixel Tag is a compact, two-inch-long elliptical disc made from stainless steel. It features an IP67 rating, ensuring protection against water and dust. Available in a single Fog colorway, the device mirrors the design of the new fog Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, and Pixel Watch 5 models.
Equipped with a built-in speaker, the Pixel Tag emits a sound when its location is pinged from a smartphone. Users can track its whereabouts via Google's Find Hub app. Additionally, pressing the back panel triggers a paired device to ring, facilitating the retrieval of a lost Android phone. The tracker supports up to ten users and can be shared with various Google devices, including Pixel Watches and Pixel Buds.
Precision finding capabilities provide distance and directional pointers, while the "Left Behind" feature alerts users if they are about to leave a tagged item behind. The Pixel Tag also notifies users if an unknown tag becomes part of their possession.
