Meet the Pixel Tag, Google's answer to the AirTag

Affiliate links on Android Authority may earn us a commission. With August on our doorstep, the next Made By Google product launch event is nearly within reach.

That’s going to bring us the Pixel 11 series, as well as the Pixel Watch 5, but what else? Well, there’s that new Pixel Buds Pro 2 colorway, for one.

What Happened

But if you’ve been paying close attention, you also might remember that mention of “Pixel Tag” support we saw pop up in an earlier Pixel 11 leak. Now we’re finally starting to learn what to expect from this hardware.

• Thank you for being part of our community.

• Hopefully we’ll be getting all those answers once August 12 rolls around.

• Will we get to save with a multi-pack, or maybe score a bundle with the Pixel 11 itself?

Key Details

Sure enough, one of those listings mentions “a loud speaker for easy nearby search.” Other available details include the model number GA12506 and references to “Fog Light,” which could be Google’s branding for the Tag’s color. Samsung’s already getting ready to introduce.

• Finally, we’re very curious about what Google might be thinking for pricing.

• Could Google go with a replaceable disposable battery, like an AirTag?

• And then there’s the big question of how this tracker will be powered.

Why It Matters

We’d like to believe there’d be UWB support, but so far no direct evidence has turned up.

• Even with the product’s identify now feeling certain, we still have tons of questions about what to expect from the Pixel Tag.
