Google Limits Find Hub UWB to Pixel 8 Pro and Newer, Leaving Older Pro Pixels Out

A newly referenced support page clarifies eligibility and underscores how few devices and tags currently enable precise UWB locating.

Overview

  • Google’s support documentation lists UWB in Find Hub as available on Pixel 8 Pro and newer, confirming exclusion of the Pixel 6 Pro and Pixel 7 Pro.
  • The same page names supported non‑Google phones as Samsung Galaxy S21 and above in Plus and Ultra variants and Motorola Edge and Razr models.
  • Android Authority flagged the support page and 9to5Google reported the restriction as the latest clarification of Google’s rollout.
  • Only one Find Hub-compatible tracker currently offers UWB: Motorola’s Moto Tag, which gained the capability through a recent update.
  • UWB enables more precise distance and directional guidance than Bluetooth, but Google has not indicated any plan to extend support to older UWB‑equipped Pixels.
