Google's Pixel Tag is now on sale. It is a small tracker you attach to things you tend to lose, like keys or a bag. One tag costs $29.99. A 4-pack costs $99.99, which is cheaper per tag than buying four singles.
Where to buy it
A single tag is sold at the Google Store and on Amazon. The Google Store lists delivery as early as Friday. Amazon lists Thursday delivery. For now, the 4-pack appears only at the Google Store.
What it does
- It is a Find Hub tracker, and a double press of its button rings your phone.
- It runs on a CR2032 coin battery rated for over one year.
- It is rated IP67, meaning it handles 1 meter of water for up to 30 minutes.
- It has Bluetooth 6.0, NFC and Ultra Wideband.
The tag is pill-shaped. The front is silver metal with a Google "G" logo and a speaker cutout. The back is light green plastic called "Fog."
Cases and availability
The Google Store also sells four Made for Google cases. The Bellroy leather case costs $29.99. Spigen's Vault costs $19.99 and its Core Armor costs $24.99.
The Google Store sells the tag in Australia, Canada, India, Japan, Singapore, Taiwan, the United Kingdom and the United States, except Puerto Rico. The source does not say how the tag works with phones other than Pixels.
The takeawayIf you keep losing keys or bags, a $29.99 Pixel Tag is a cheap fix, and the $99.99 4-pack costs less per tag.
