We all remember AirTag and all the commotion it created. Now, Motorola too is offering a similar product to its customers. In this article, we will look into the Moto Tag in further detail and also discuss the chances of its availability and potential price in Nepal.
Moto Tag Overview
Design
The Moto Tag is quite similar to the AirTag as it is a circular disc. The dimensions of the two are nearly identical too with the former measuring 31.90 mm x 8.00 mm and the latter coming in at 32.00 mm x 7.90 mm. Given the design similarity, the Moto Tag goes well with various AirTag accessories. You get IP67 dust and water resistance on both the trackers too.
The two may be alike, but there are certain differentiating characteristics between them. Firstly, the Motorola offering has a protrusion on both sides while the AirTag has a smooth unibody. Likewise, the AirTag has a stainless steel build but the Moto Tag opts for plastic instead. The material choice cuts its weight down to only 7.5 grams, making it 3.5 grams lighter in comparison. Lastly, the Motorola tracker is available in more colour options, namely Starlight Blue and Jade Green.
Features
The Moto Tag is equipped with Bluetooth v5.4 as well as Ultra-wideband for tracking and connectivity. The Bluetooth is obviously a low-energy one to maximise the device’s battery life. This tracker works with devices running on Android 9.0 and up, where it can be seamlessly paired through Google Fast Pair.
It taps into Google’s Find My Device network to do the tracking. You can then locate your belongings with Precision Finding. If you still cannot find the tagged belonging, then you can even beep the Moto Tag and it produces a sound of up to 75dB. Not only does it help locate whatever you tagged, it works the other way around and helps you find your misplaced phone. Other than that, it works as a remote for your smartphone camera as well, allowing you to take hands-free photos without setting a timer.

Battery and Privacy
Talking of the battery, it goes with a CR2032 cell which can last a year with the Moto Tag. The battery is a coin-like unit that goes in other appliances like watches, calculators, and even toys.
Privacy is a concern when dealing with devices like these as it can facilitate stalking. To counter this, the Moto Tag notifies all the Android in the vicinity of 100 metres about its presence. However, only the owner of the tag can exactly pinpoint the location of their tag on Google Maps. Additionally, the whole notifying process is anonymous and end-to-end encrypted.

Moto Tag Price in Nepal and Availability
Like any other Motorola device, it will likely not be available in Nepal. Even if it does, you will not be able to use Precision Finding with it as UWB doesn’t work in Nepal. It is priced at USD 29.99 for a piece, based on that, we expect the Moto Tag price in Nepal to be around NPR 4,999.
| Moto Tag | Price in the USA (Official) | Price in Nepal (Expected) |
| 1 unit | USD 29 | NPR 4,999 |
| 4 units | USD 99 | NPR 15,999 |
