Google Pixel Tag Tracker Rumored for August Debut

An alleged rendering of a Google Pixel Tag has surfaced, showing a tracker in all white with a "loud speaker." Rumors claim there isn't a place to mount the tracker, meaning consumers will have to slip it into their bags or wallets. There's still a lot that's unknown about the tracker; however, there's speculation that Google could debut it at its Pixel 11 reveal event in August. A render of the alleged Pixel Tag was posted by 9to5Google, who state the name has started circulating across various online sources. According to the publication, the Pixel Tag could feature an oblong shape (rounded corners, not quite like a football), and Google's classic "G" icon in the center. The post claims there aren't any "mounting mechanisms" on the tag. This gives the impression that consumers would pop this into their bag and go. One of the sources where the Pixel Tag has leaked is a Slovenian retailer. The folks at 9to5 snagged the tag's alleged description, which says the Pixel Tag is a "smart tracker that helps you quickly and reliably locate your lost items." As you might expect, this would work over the Find My Device (Find Hub) network. The tag's description highlights items we're used to attaching smart trackers to: wallets, keys, and luggage. The Pixel Tag will reportedly feature a "loud speaker" to help users quickly pinpoint its location.

As far as trackers go, it doesn't look too bad. It's simple. That's pretty much all you can expect from a device like this. If, as the rumors say, this is preparing to launch alongside the Pixel 11, it'd be smart. "Here's the new Pixel 11 series! Grab a tracker so you don't lose you stuff, too!" One of the immediate comparisons we can make with the Pixel Tag is the Moto Tag 2 or even Apple's alternative. The Moto Tag 2 debuted at the end of June, offering Bluetooth 6.0 and UWB support, alongside 500 days of battery life.

Seeing how the Moto Tag 2 shapes up has us wondering about the true form of the Pixel Tag. There's still a lot that's under wraps. Rumors assume Google could have a reveal on the way that lines up with the Pixel 11, but nothing's certain. If true, then that means we'll have the Pixel Glow and this Pixel Tag to wow us during the Made by Google event on August 12. Google teased the Pixel 11 Pro recently, showing off Pixel Glow: an LED indicator that sits beside the phone's cameras in the camera bar.
