Here’s the Google Pixel Tag
by Kellen · Droid LifeA new Google Pixel device has landed on our radar this morning, and it’s a bit of a surprise. The Google Pixel Tag appears to be on the way, possibly launching alongside the Pixel 11 series next month.
As is almost always the case these days, early retailer listings have spoiled a Google device, giving us a name, description, and model number. The folks at 9to5Google also got their hands on a picture.
What is the Google Pixel Tag?
The device is being referred to online as the “Google Tag” and “Google Pixel Tag.” It carries a model number of GA12506-WW and will ship in at least one color called “Fog Light.” I’d imagine Google will shorten that to Fog at launch.
Below, one of the retailers provided the following description of the device:
The Google Pixel Tag smart tracker helps you locate lost items quickly and reliably using the secure “Find My Device” network.
Never waste time searching for your keys, wallet, or luggage again. The Google Pixel Tag is a compact, lightweight, and durable smart tracker that attaches seamlessly to your most important items. By leveraging Google’s extensive and secure “Find My Device” network, you can check the exact location of your belongings at any time via your smartphone. The tracker features a loud speaker for easy locating nearby and is designed with a focus on fully protecting your privacy and personal data.
As you can read from that, the Pixel Tag is a smart tracker, like an AirTag, that will help you locate lost items. This is the type of device you attach to a keyring or toss in a bag to keep track of it. It will connect through Android’s Find My Device network.
The device looks like a little puck and is close in shape to the Fitbit Air.
This early listings don’t tell us much more, but at least one is listing a price close to €30. I could see this launching in the US at around $30.
