Xiaomi Tag debuts as budget tracker with dual Find My and Find Hub support

Xiaomi announced its first Bluetooth tracker, the Xiaomi Tag, featuring a built‑in metal loop to clip to a keyring or carabiner. It works with Apple’s Find My or Google’s Find Hub during setup (not both simultaneously), runs on a replaceable CR2032 battery for up to a year, and has IP67 dust/water resistance plus NFC for sharing contact details. Unlike AirTag, it lacks UWB for precise location and relies on audible cues for nearby finding; it’s cheaper, priced at £12.99 ($18) for one or £44.99 ($61) for a four-pack.
