Google's first item tracker is now available to buy. It is called the Pixel Tag, and Android Authority reports it went on sale after months of waiting. If you have ever torn the house apart looking for your keys, this is the kind of gadget made for you.
What it is
The Pixel Tag is a small device you attach to things you might lose. Think keys, a backpack or a travel bag. You then use your phone to help find the item. It is Google's first product of this type.
Who it is for
Anyone who often misplaces everyday items could get use out of a tracker. It can save time and stress. It may also help families who share bags, gear or car keys.
What is not known yet
The material available does not say what the Pixel Tag costs. It also does not list battery life, range, colors or which phones it works with. There is no word on where it is sold or how fast it ships.
What to do
Before buying any tracker, check the price and read the privacy settings. Find out what location information the tag shares and who can see it. Confirm it works with your phone. Reading the full Android Authority report is a good place to start.
The takeawayThe Pixel Tag is Google's first tracker and it is on sale now, but check price, phone support and privacy settings before you buy.
