What it does
The Pixel Tag is Google's first Bluetooth item tracker. It uses Ultra-Wideband to point you to a lost item with an arrow and distance, and Google's Find Hub network of Android devices to locate it further away. It has a speaker, an IP67 rating against dust and water, alerts if you leave it behind, and can be shared with up to 10 people.
The extra trick
A button on the tag makes your phone ring, something Apple's AirTag cannot do for an iPhone. The coin-cell battery is user-replaceable and should last about a year. It works with phones on Android 9 or later. Google first showed the tag in August and set 11 November as the sale date.
