Overview
- Support pages and a direct confirmation to Android Authority specify UWB precision finding only on Pixel 8 Pro and newer, select Samsung Plus/Ultra models, and certain Motorola phones.
- Pixel 6 Pro and Pixel 7 Pro include UWB hardware but cannot use Find Hub’s directional, distance‑based locating for compatible tags.
- Technical checks cited in coverage found both older Pixels lack UWB background ranging, with the Pixel 6 Pro also missing part of Angle‑of‑Arrival support.
- Analysts point to differing Qorvo UWB chips—DW3720 in Pixel 6/7 Pro versus QM35725 in Pixel 8 Pro and newer—as a likely factor, though Google has offered no explanation.
- Moto Tag is currently the only widely available Android tracker with UWB precision finding, while older Pixels remain limited to Bluetooth‑based tracking and other UWB features like digital car keys.
