The Made by Google 2026 lineup is finally complete with tomorrow’s retail launch of the Pixel Tag. The tracker is the first Find Hub device to include Near Field Communication, allowing users to tap the tag to the back of their phone to open settings instantly. The NFC area sits below the circular battery door, which is opened by holding down and twisting counterclockwise. On Android 17 QPR2, tapping opens the details page; on QPR1 a notification prompts the user to click. The tag also supports Bluetooth six, Channel Sounding, and Ultra Wideband. Setup adds a screen for notifications, ringing, naming, categorizing, and volume. Bellroy supplies two case models: a silicone Lite Case Duo and a leather Tag Case.
