Xiaomi is preparing a new wearable, freshly certified by China’s TENAA under the model number M2542T1. The standout detail is ultra-wideband support, a first for any Xiaomi wearable. That upgrade points to far more precise location tracking and secure proximity features than previous models.
Details are still under wraps. It’s not yet clear whether M2542T1 belongs to the Smart Band line or the Watch series, and the retail name remains unknown. Even so, UWB opens the door to high-precision tracking for finding devices and accessories, point-and-control interactions in smart homes, and secure digital key functions. In Xiaomi’s ecosystem, that could include hands-free vehicle unlocking for models like the SU7 and the YU7.
Expect the M2542T1 identifier to appear in additional certifications and future product materials as the launch nears. The current TENAA entry doesn’t reveal a release date or timeline, so any rollout window is still a mystery.
Key takeaways:
– New Xiaomi wearable certified in China as M2542T1
– First Xiaomi wearable with UWB connectivity
– Potential for precise tracking and secure proximity features, including vehicle unlocking within the Xiaomi ecosystem
– Series and product name not yet confirmed
– No launch date indicated by the certification
If confirmed at launch, UWB could be a meaningful upgrade for Xiaomi’s wearables, bringing smarter location features and tighter integration across the brand’s devices and vehicles.
