Xiaomi’s jumping into the tracking accessory market, and the Xiaomi Tag tracker just leaked with details that make it look like a serious AirTag competitor. According to WinFuture, the device showed up on Xiaomi’s French website with pricing that undercuts Apple significantly.
The tracker will retail for €17.99 (roughly $19) for a single unit, with a four-pack going for €59.99 (about $63). Compare that to Apple’s AirTag at $29 for one or $99 for four, and Xiaomi’s pricing starts to look pretty attractive.
The Xiaomi Tag tracker measures 7.2mm thick and runs on a standard CR2032 battery that should last about a year. It supports Bluetooth 5.4 and NFC, but there’s no Ultra-Wideband support. That’s the tech that enables precision tracking down to the inch, which Apple’s AirTag uses for its Precision Finding feature.
Works with both iPhone and Android
Here’s the interesting part: the Xiaomi Tag tracker will work with both Apple’s Find My network and Google’s Android Find Hub. That dual compatibility is rare in the tracking accessory space, and it’s probably why Xiaomi skipped UWB. Apple’s Find My network doesn’t support UWB on third-party trackers anyway.
This isn’t the first time manufacturers have tried to compete with Apple’s tracking accessories, but Xiaomi’s approach of supporting both major platforms at this price point could give it an edge. The lack of UWB means you won’t get turn-by-turn directions to your lost keys, but for most people, knowing the general location is enough.
The tracker will be available across Europe based on early retailer listings, though there’s no indication it’s coming to the US. Xiaomi hasn’t formally announced the device yet, so exact launch timing is still unclear. Some reports suggest it could debut alongside other Xiaomi products before MWC 2026 in early March.
For anyone shopping around, the Xiaomi Tag tracker sits in an interesting middle ground. It’s cheaper than Apple’s AirTag but more expensive than some budget alternatives like Tile four-packs. The big difference is that dual-network compatibility, which could make it useful for households with mixed iPhone and Android users.
