The Lenovo-owned smartphone brand Motorola has just launched a new Bluetooth tag called Moto Tag. Like the Apple AirTag or the Samsung SmartTag2, the Moto Tag will help users keep track of their belongings, such as a wallet, purse, backpack, luggage bag, keys, etc.
More importantly, the device supports Google’s Find My Device network and features Ultra Wideband technology that helps track its precise location. Without any further ado, let’s get into the details and price of the newly launched Moto Tag.

Moto Tag: Design
Designed to fit tight spaces, the Moto Tag has a shape similar to the AirTag (albeit it appears slightly thicker). To withstand daily wear and tear, the device has an IP67 dust and water-resistance rating (it can be immersed in fresh water up to one meter for 30 minutes). The device runs on a CR2032 battery, which is easy to replace and carries enough power for a year of usage.
Moto Tag Supports Google’s Find My Device Network
First things first, let’s talk about how the device harnesses Google’s Find My Device network. Initially, the company launched its device-tracking network in May 2023. However, after delaying it for almost a year, Google officially unveiled the feature in April 2024. Through the Moto Tag, users will be able to pinpoint the exact location of a tagged item “from nearly anywhere in the world.”
Ultra Wideband Helps Users With Precision Tracking
To make the long story short, it is like Apple’s Find My network, but for Android devices, making it easier to locate offline devices. Next, the Bluetooth tracker supports Ultra Wideband technology, allowing Android smartphone users to track the device when it’s nearby (similar to how AirTag’s Precision Finding works).

Users Also Get A Multifunctional Button
In addition to Google’s Find My Device network and precision tracking, the device has a multifunctional button. Users can program the button to help them ring their smartphone and use it as a remote shutter with an Android smartphone.
Moto Tag Relies On End-To-End Encryption
With regards to security, the Moto Tag uses end-to-end encryption, implying that only the “owner or anyone whose owner has shared the tag within the Find My Device app can view the tag’s location.” To prevent unwanted tracking, the Moto Tag is compatible with automatic unknown tracker alerts across Android and iOS devices.
The Moto Tag supports Google Fast Pair for a quick setup process. Once connected to an Android smartphone, one can use the features in the Moto Tag app, including adjusting the tag’s speaker volume and checking the remaining battery life.
Moto Tag: Availability And Price
For now, the Moto Tag will be available in the United States for $29, about Rs. 2,500, from August 2, 2024. It comes in two colors: green and blue.
