    Moto Tag: Android’s Answer to Apple AirTags with UWB & Google Find My

    Motorola has introduced a new smart tracker designed to compete with Apple AirTags for Android users. Named the Moto Tag, this device features Ultra Wideband (UWB) technology and integrates with Google's network, making it easier to locate tagged items.

    Moto Tag: Key Features

    Motorola's Moto Tag boasts enhanced precision due to its support for UWB tech, which can be leveraged by smartphones that also include this technology, such as the Edge 50 Ultra. Although integration with the Find My Device app isn't available at launch, it is expected in a forthcoming update. The Moto Tag features a circular design with a multifunction button, similar to the Apple AirTag.

    This button can ring a paired smartphone and even take photos remotely. Privacy is a major focus for Motorola, as the Moto Tag uses end-to-end encryption on the Google Find My Device network, ensuring that your location data stays private. For added security, the device can alert users about any unknown tracker and offers manual scanning options. The Moto Tag is also durable, with an IP67 rating for water and dust resistance.

    Easy Setup and Long Battery Life

    Setting up the Moto Tag is straightforward thanks to Google Fast Pair, and the accompanying Moto Tag app provides features such as battery monitoring and alert volume control. Motorola claims the device has a battery life of up to a year, and the CR2032 battery cell is replaceable. The Moto Tag will be available in select markets at a price of 29 US Dollars for one, or 99 US Dollars for a pack of four. It comes in two color options: Blue and Green. The smart tracker is scheduled for release on August 2, 2024.

    Motorola’s Moto Tag Tracking Device Confirmed by FCC Listing

    Motorola is on the verge of debuting the Razr 50 series foldables on June 25th. However, a recent revelation from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) certification website shows that the company is also focusing on other product categories simultaneously. The listing pertains to a tracking device named the Moto Tag and includes some technical specifications. Let’s delve into the details of this new product.

    Motorola is working on an iteration of the tracking device it launched back in 2017

    The Moto Tag will feature Bluetooth LE connectivity and will be powered by a 3V battery (CR2032) with a capacity of 210mAh. For comparison, the widely-used Apple AirTag also utilizes the same CR2032 coin cell battery, offering a battery life ranging from 12 to 18 months.

    The tracking device from Motorola comes with the model number – XT2445-1. Although the listing does not provide extensive information, it does suggest that the launch is imminent.

    Certifications and Expected Release

    In addition to FCC and SGS certification platforms, the Moto Tag has also appeared on UAE’s TDRA certification platform earlier this month, confirming its upcoming release in the UAE.

    It’s noteworthy that Motorola previously entered this product category, launching its first tracking device back in 2017. While the new tracking device employs the same battery as the Apple AirTag, it remains to be seen how power-efficient and reliable Motorola’s new Moto Tag will be.
