Google launched Pixel Tag in the November Pixel Drop. Gemini shopping assistance and reservation services have also begun rolling out in Japan, alongside feature enhancements and expanded search capabilities for the Pixel 10/11 series.
In the November Pixel Drop, Google launched its new Pixel Tag today. It has a slim design that fits in a wallet, is durable and offers more than one year of battery life. Sales begin at Google Store Omotesando on 11 November and online on the 12th, priced at ¥5,010 per unit or ¥16,940 for a 4-pack. The Find Hub network can locate items at a distance, while UWB provides directional and distance guidance nearby.
Alongside Pixel Tag, Gemini features for the Pixel 11 and 10 series that handle app operations and assist with shopping, ride bookings, takeaway orders and restaurant reservations are scheduled to be offered in Japan, the UK and India.
Gemini Intelligence has been introduced on the Pixel 10 series, enabling automatic removal of unnecessary words and sentence formatting through AI voice input, with users able to preview and send the result.
Device-wide search has been enhanced to cover photos, email, messages, calendar events and settings. HiLight supports Google Messages, and a feature was also announced that uses light to notify users of incoming messages from favourite contacts even when a nearby smartphone is face down.
A list of the new features being released this month and detailed specifications are expected to be available later on a community forum.
