Motorola’s CES 2026 slate was pretty packed. Aside from the barrage of new PC hardware from sister company Lenovo, the company revealed its first book-style foldable phone and a new smartwatch developed in partnership with Polar. Flying under the radar was another reveal that will appeal to an even broader audience. 

The big draw

The latest in lifestyle tech from the company is the Moto Tag 2, and this one could very well outshine Apple’s AirTags in a few key areas. To start, Motorola claims that its new object tracker can last 500 days before it requires a battery swap. 

For comparison, the AirTags offer an advertised battery longevity of one year. The battery fitted inside the Moto Tag 2 is user-replaceable. And just in case you’re wandering, it’s the coin-shaped CR2032 standard that is easily available out there.

It also throws a couple of cool features into the mix. The onboard button can be used as a remote camera shutter trigger when paired with a phone. Additionally, it can do reverse location tracking for your connected device.

Going the extra mile

“Aside from finding your belongings, the Moto Tag 2 can also help people locate their phone. They can press the tag’s button to ring the device and find the phone even on silent,” explains the company. This feature comes to life thanks to support for Bluetooth Channel Sounding. 

Another big draw is support for Ultra Wideband connectivity, which enables centimeter-level accuracy for location tracking with lower latency. The build is IP68 rated for resilience against dust and water exposure. 

As far as ecosystem and connectivity features go, the Moto Tag 2 offers Remote Camera capture, Find My Phone, Location Sharing, and Google Find Hub integration. Available in a single Pantone Laurel Oak color, the tracker doesn’t have a price attached to it, yet, but available details will be announced soon.

Motorola is finally bringing out its second-generation Android smart tracker. While Apple's AirTag has been hogging the limelight, the Moto Tag 2 is the new rival in town, arriving in North America starting June 30. It brings UWB (Ultra Wideband) tracking support, Bluetooth Channel Sounding, and Google Find Hub support in a compact tracker built for keys, bags, luggage, camera gear, and anything else people keep misplacing.

The real headline, though, is the battery life. Motorola claims that this is its longest-lasting smart tracker yet, with more than 500 days of battery life from a replaceable CR2032 battery.

Motorola could be adopting Qi2 wireless charging technology, joining Google Pixels and Apple iPhones for magnetic charging support. While Android's Qi2 rollout has been oddly frustrating, the company's upcoming Edge phone could be the first to bring it to a non-flagship model.
