Motorola's moto tag tracker supports Google Find My Device and ultrawideband

Motorola is launching its first tracker, the Moto Tag. It will support Google's Find My Device network. The tracker will also feature an ultra-wideband chip for more precise location determination with supported smartphones. The device will be released next month.

Motorola's moto tag will have a circular design with a button in the middle. The device can be connected to Google's updated Find My Device network, allowing the tracker to transmit its location when it is near a device running Android. The tracker can also be used to track the user's smartphone. This is done via the button on the motorcycle tag. When pressed, the phone plays a sound.

The tag works via Bluetooth as standard, but also supports ultrawideband. In combination with an Android device with uwb chip, this function can be used to determine the location of the tracker with higher precision. Google's Pixel 6 Pro, 7 Pro and 8 Pro, the Samsung Galaxy S Plus and Ultra devices since 2021 and the Motorola Edge 50 Ultra, among others, support uwb.

The Moto Tag will also get an IP67 certification for dust and water resistance and runs on a CR2032 battery. According to the manufacturer, the tracker can be used for a year before the battery needs to be replaced. The tracker does not have an integrated hole to hang on a key ring. According to Motorola, the tag is 'specifically designed' to work with existing third-party cases. According to The Verge, these are Apple AirTag cases.

The Moto Tag will be released in 'select' European countries in mid-July, the company confirmed in a press release. According to the manufacturer, the device will have a suggested retail price of 50 euros. A set with four trackers should be available for 140 euros. In the US, the tracker will be available in August for 30 dollars, which would amount to 33.88 euros including VAT. The moto tag will be available in dark blue and green.
