Google Leaks 'Pixel Tag' Ultra-Wideband Item Finder Details
Leaks from regulatory databases reveal Google is finalizing launch plans for its native 'Pixel Tag' Bluetooth UWB tracker designed for the Find My Device network.
Internal documentation accidentally published on a regulatory compliance site confirms that Google is preparing to launch a proprietary item tracking accessory tentatively named the 'Pixel Tag'. Designed to integrate directly with Android's expanded Find My Device network, the compact UWB beacon aims to directly challenge Apple's AirTag dominance.
The Pixel Tag reportedly features both Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and Ultra-Wideband radio hardware, enabling sub-inch directional tracking on UWB-enabled Android phones. It also incorporates a high-decibel piezo speaker and IP68 water resistance for durable daily use.
