Google’s New Pixel Tag Is Slimmer than an AirTag and Smarter at Finding Your Stuff

The tracker uses Google’s Find Hub network and costs $29 for one, with Bluetooth, Ultra Wideband and a replaceable battery.

  • On Wednesday, Google unveiled the $29 Pixel Tag at its livestreamed "Made by Google '26" event, positioning the device as a direct competitor to Apple's AirTag for tracking valuable items.
  • The Pixel Tag leverages the Android Find Hub network, which taps into Android devices worldwide to locate lost items, and offers Bluetooth and Ultra Wideband connectivity for precision finding.
  • Spec-by-Spec, the oval-shaped device measures 1.1 inches wide and 0.2 inches thick, weighing 0.4 ounces; rated IP67, it withstands submersion in 1 meter of water for up to 30 minutes.
  • Powered by a user-replaceable CR2032 coin cell battery, the device lasts roughly one year, and users can locate and ring the tag directly from the Pixel Watch or phone.
  • The Pixel Tag becomes available for purchase on November 11, 2026, with pricing set at $29 for a one-pack or $99 for a four-pack, designed for keychains and bags.
