On one end of the tracker you\u2019ll find an integrated metal loop that can be attached to a keyring or clipped to a carabiner without the need for an extra case.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">The Xiaomi Tag is compatible with both Apple\u2019s Find My and Google\u2019s Find Hub tracking networks and mobile apps, but not at the same time. You\u2019ll need to choose one or the other during setup. Like Apple\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">One big differentiator is that unlike Apple\u2019s AirTags, the Xiaomi Tag lacks ultra wideband (UWB) functionality for pinpointing its exact location. You\u2019ll instead have to rely on audible alerts to locate it once you\u2019re nearby. If that\u2019s not a deal-breaker, the Xiaomi Tag will be a cheaper alternative to Apple\u2019s AirTags, selling for \u00a312.99 (around $18) each, or \u00a344.99 (around $61) for a four-pack.
