"On one end of the tracker you'll find an integrated metal loop that can be attached to a keyring or clipped to a carabiner without the need for an extra case. The Xiaomi Tag is compatible with both Apple's Find My and Google's Find Hub tracking networks and mobile apps, but not at the same time."
"Like Apple's AirTag, the Xiaomi Tag is powered by a replaceable CR2032 coin cell battery good for up to a year of use, and boasts an IP67 dust and water resistance rating, so it can survive a short dunking. There are also NFC capabilities that others can use to load your contact details should they find a lost device with the tag attached."
"One big differentiator is that unlike Apple's AirTags, the Xiaomi Tag lacks ultra wideband (UWB) functionality for pinpointing its exact location. You'll instead have to rely on audible alerts to locate it once you're nearby. If that's not a deal-breaker, the Xiaomi Tag will be a cheaper alternative to Apple's AirTags, selling for £12.99 (around $18) each, or £44.99 (around $61) for a four-pack."
Xiaomi has launched its first Bluetooth tracker, the Xiaomi Tag, featuring an elongated design with an integrated metal loop for direct attachment to keyrings or carabiners without additional accessories. The device is compatible with either Apple's Find My or Google's Find Hub networks, though users must select one during setup. It uses a replaceable CR2032 battery lasting up to one year, includes IP67 water and dust resistance, and offers NFC capabilities for contact sharing. The primary limitation compared to AirTags is the absence of ultra wideband technology, requiring users to rely on audible alerts for nearby location detection. Priced at £12.99 individually or £44.99 for four units, it undercuts Apple's AirTag pricing significantly.
