Google's Pixel Tag, a device designed to help users track their belongings, is officially set for release on November 11, according to 9To5Google. The official release date comes after some confusion online, with some reports suggesting it was available today.
The Pixel Tag is priced at $29.99 for a single unit and $99.99 for a four-pack, as confirmed by 9To5Google. The device is currently not available for purchase on the Google Store or any third-party retailers, despite some misleading links circulating online.
The Pixel Tag is powered by a user-replaceable CR2032 coin cell battery, which Google claims can last up to one year. The device is made from stainless steel and is IP67 water and dust resistant, capable of withstanding immersion in up to one meter of water for up to 30 minutes, according to TechCrunch.
The Pixel Tag's design was first introduced on the Pixel 11, which features Gemini Intelligence. This design is now available on all other Pixel devices, as noted by 9To5Google. The device is expected to be well-suited for larger-screen devices like the rumored Pixel 11 Pro Fold, which is expected to launch later this month, according to Android Authority.

The Pixel 10 Pro XL is significantly larger than the standard Pixel 10 Pro, measuring 162.8 x 76.7 x 8.5 mm compared to the Pixel 10 Pro's 152.8 x 72 x 8.5 mm dimensions, according to Howtogeek.
The Pixel 10 Pro XL is also heavier, weighing 232 grams, which is considered ideal by some users, as noted by Thegate. The device features an outstanding camera system, a 6.8-inch display, Tensor G5 performance, and advanced AI integration, as highlighted by Pcguide.
The Pixel 10 Pro XL is praised for its premium build quality, excellent battery life, and advanced photography capabilities, making it one of the strongest flagship Android phones available for users who prefer a larger device, according to Pcguide.

What's still developing
- Pricing is still set for $29.99 for a 1-pack and $99.99 for a 4-pack.
- If you have a Pixel or Galaxy phone running Android 17, your struggles could soon be over.
- The Interstellar Lighting Effect is reminiscent of the HiLight LED feature found on the Pixel 11 Pro.
- Overall I’m usually not impressed with the kind of AI features phones have been trying to make into a thing in the past year, but the Pixel does have a few good updates.
- I still have photos from the Pixel 4 and more recent models that are some of my favourites, but the Pixel 10 Pro XL is the first Google Phone that impressed me from processing power, to design, durability, and of course, photography.
- The Pixel Pro phones have a number of upgrades over the basic models, but I think the biggest selling point of the Pixel 10 Pro XL is the size, with an ideal weight of 232 grams.
- The first developer preview of this upcoming release is now available for intrepid, currently-supported Pixel-owners, but expect plenty of rough edges and issues if you take the plunge — and plenty of new features, according to Google.
- Despite featuring a similar design, processor, and cameras, the Pixel 10 Pro XL differs from the Pixel 10 Pro in several aspects.
- Measuring 152.8 x 72 x 8.5 mm, the Pixel 10 Pro is much smaller than the Pixel 10 Pro XL, which measures 162.8 x 76.7 x 8.5 mm (both in terms of length and width).
