Motorola Launches Moto Tag 2 Tracker for Android With Improved Location Tracking Features
Motorola has added a new smart accessory to its product portfolio with the launch of the Moto Tag 2, the second-generation item tracker for Android. It first debuted at CES 2026, then started appearing in some international markets before making its way to the U.S. in late June 2026.
The new model focuses on more accurate local discovery, a longer and more robust battery life, better durability and deeper integration with Google’s Find Hub network. Motorola’s also kept a couple of handy features from the original model, including ringing a lost phone and using the tracker’s button as a remote camera shutter.

One of the biggest upgrades is the pairing of Ultra-Wideband technology with Bluetooth Channel Sounding. “UWB can provide more precise direction and distance information when users are in close proximity to a lost item, while Bluetooth Channel Sounding is designed to improve nearby search accuracy when the tracker is just out of sight,” says Motorola.
This combination can be especially useful for finding keys inside a house, luggage in a crowded environment or a wallet hidden in a room. It also supports Bluetooth 6.0 and precision finding via UWB technology on compatible Android smartphones.

For non-local items, the Moto Tag 2 can connect with Google’s Find Hub network. The system uses participating Android devices to discover compatible trackers and to securely upload their approximate location to the owner.
Google says it uses end-to-end encryption to protect location data on the Find Hub network. You can also share compatible tracked items with others, which can be handy for shared keys, family luggage or items used by multiple members of a household.
More than 600 days of battery life
Another big upgrade is the battery life. Motorola’s regional product pages claim a single replaceable CR2032 coin-cell battery can power the Moto Tag 2 for over 600 days.
That’s a big plus for a tracker that’s meant to sit on your luggage, keys, bags or other items for long periods of time. When the battery eventually runs out, instead of tossing the tracker or sending it off for service, users can replace it themselves. You can also check the battery status using the Moto Tag app, courtesy of Motorola.
Price Makes it a Competitive Android Tracker
In the U.S., the Moto Tag 2 will be available for a limited time at a promotional price of $19.99, regularly $29.99. There was also a promotional launch price of $69.99 for a four-pack.
Availability and pricing vary by market. The tracker has also been released in European markets, with regional pricing of €29.99 in Germany and £40 in the UK earlier in its rollout.
