At 0.4 ounces, the Pixel Tag is slightly lighter than the AirTag 2, and while its oblong design is longer than Apple’s tracker, Google’s is a bit thinner. It doesn’t include a hole to attach it to keys, luggage, or other items you want to track, but you can pair it with accessories that make attaching to items easier. Unlike Apple’s AirTags, the Pixel Tag has a button you can press to trigger a sound if your phone is misplaced instead of the tracker.
Google says the Pixel Tag will run for over a year on a single CR2032 coin cell battery and that it has an IP67 rating, so it’s dust-proof and can survive shallow submersion. The tracker also supports Ultra Wide Band (UWB) and Channel Sounding via Bluetooth 6.0. Android phones with a UWB chip can display the Pixel Tag’s exact distance and direction in the Find Hub app once you’re near it, while audio from Bluetooth channels is limited to distance only.
The Pixel Tag is compatible with smartphones running Android 9 or later, but you’ll need devices that specifically include a UWB chip or support Bluetooth 6.0 to take advantage of Find Hub’s precise location features.
