Update | Motorola releases Moto Tag tracker with camera remote function

June 27, 2024 update: The Moto Tag will cost $29.99 ($99.99 for a pack of 4) and will be available on August 2, 2024. The original article follows.

Alongside the Motorola Razr 50 Ultra and Razr 50, Motorola also announced the Moto Tag, its first tracker with support for the Google Find My Device network. The new tracker connects to a device via Bluetooth and can help users to keep track of their belongings such as bags and wallets. Motorola has also added a nifty feature that isn't available on other trackers.

The Moto Tag has a round design similar to that of the Apple AirTag (curr. available on Amazon for $25), but unlike Apple's tracker that is available in white, it comes in green and dark gray/blue. The similarity in design is intentional as Motorola says that the Moto Tag was designed to work with most of the existing third-party accessories (read as AirTag accessories) already on the market. The tracker, which has an IP67 water and dust resistance rating, connects via Bluetooth and should work with most Android devices.

Pairing is easy as it supports Google Fast Pair. There's also a companion app called the Moto Tag app where users can change the name of the tag, adjust the volume of the tracker, and check the battery life. Speaking about battery, the Moto Tag uses a CR2032 battery that can last up to a year before needing to be replaced.

While rival Android trackers such as the Chipolo ONE Point work with Bluetooth only, the Moto Tag also supports Ultra-wideband for precision tracking. So if you have a phone with Ultra-wideband support such as the Pixel 8 Pro (curr. discounted to $745 on Amazon), it should lead you to the exact location of your lost item.

In addition to helping you find lost items, Motorola has added a second and equally useful function. Thanks to a multifunctional button, the tracker can work as a camera remote for any Android phone, saving you the need to use a timer when taking photos. Owners can also press the button to make their misplaced phone make a loud sound.

Motorola hasn't disclosed how much the Moto Tag will sell for but has said it will be available in the coming months in select markets.
