Google launches Pixel Tag tracker for Android users in the US
Google has launched the Pixel Tag in the United States as an item tracker for Android phones.
It costs $29 each or $99 for a pack of four, though another account rounds those prices to $30 and $100.
The tracker uses Google’s Find Hub network to help locate tagged items beyond Bluetooth range, drawing on more than a billion Android devices worldwide.
Nearby, ultra-wideband can help guide users to a tag, and the device can also make a sound when prompted.
A button on the tag can ring a paired phone, while alerts can warn users when they leave an item behind.
The Pixel Tag joins a crowded tracker market that includes Apple’s AirTag, Samsung’s SmartTag 3 and Motorola’s Moto Tag 2, with the Pixel device designed for people using Android.
Google’s Pixel Tag tracker became available to buy in the United States on November 11, 2026.
The tracker works with Android phones and uses Google’s Find Hub network to help locate items beyond Bluetooth range.
It costs $29 or $99 for a four-pack, according to Digital Trends; CNET lists prices of $30 each or $100 for four.
Features include a built-in speaker, alerts when users leave an item behind, and a button that can ring a phone.
