Xiaomi is preparing to launch a new Bluetooth tracker called the Xiaomi Tag, and early details point to an affordable alternative for people who want a simple way to keep tabs on everyday items like keys, bags, or luggage.
One of the biggest highlights is battery life. The Xiaomi Tag is expected to run on a standard CR2032 coin-cell battery, a popular choice that’s easy to find and inexpensive to replace. With a slim design said to measure around 7.2 mm thick, the tracker is rumored to last up to a year before you need to swap the battery.
In terms of compatibility, the Xiaomi Tag is reported to work with both Apple’s Find My network and Google’s Find Hub service. That’s a notable move, because many trackers lock you into one ecosystem. Here, Xiaomi appears to be targeting users on both iPhone and Android—although the connectivity is said to rely on Bluetooth 5.4 and NFC. There’s one feature missing that some buyers may care about: no ultra-wideband (UWB) support has been mentioned for this model. UWB is the technology that enables more precise “directional” finding on supported phones, and its absence suggests this tracker will focus on standard proximity tracking rather than pinpoint indoor navigation.
The good news for people waiting on UWB is that a UWB version is reportedly planned for release later. The timeline hasn’t been shared yet, so it’s unclear whether it will arrive shortly after launch or further down the road.
Pricing has also surfaced, with Xiaomi France listing a launch price of €17.99 (about $21) for a single Xiaomi Tag and €59.99 (about $71) for a four-pack. That positions it competitively for anyone looking to buy multiple trackers for different items.
As for availability, there’s no confirmed release date yet. However, there’s speculation the Xiaomi Tag could debut alongside upcoming Xiaomi devices ahead of MWC 2026 in early March, potentially appearing around the same time as the Xiaomi 17 series and new Xiaomi tablets.
If you’re shopping for a budget-friendly item tracker with broad ecosystem support, the Xiaomi Tag is shaping up to be one to watch—especially with its replaceable battery, slim profile, and low entry price.
