I tested the Google Pixel Tag and it’s the most findable tracker for Android phones — plus it does something Apple AirTag can't
I've been testing the Google Pixel Tag and this Bluetooth tracker offers outstanding Precision Finding range, low battery notifications, and more that make it better than the AirTag.
The Google Pixel Tag is Google's first Bluetooth tracker, combining Ultra Wideband (UWB) precision finding with the global Find Hub network to help users locate misplaced items like keys, bags, and wallets. It targets Android users who want seamless, AirTag-like pinpoint tracking. Priced at $29 for a single unit or $99 for a pack of four, the Pixel Tag features a slim 5.4mm profile, IP67 water/dust resistance, and a user-replaceable CR2032 coin-cell battery that lasts up to a year.
Its standout feature is the excellent Precision Finding range, which outperforms Apple's AirTag 2, reaching up to 82 feet compared to the AirTag's 74 feet. The Pixel Tag also allows users to reverse-ring their phones with a double-press of the front button, and it provides persistent low-battery alerts. However, it lacks a keyring hole and a limited selection of accessories at launch.
