Criticism
Lack of ultra-wideband (UWB) technology One of the recurrent criticism and limitations of the Xiaomi Tag (on its global version) is the lack of ultra-wideband (UWB) technology in its hardware. Which prevents it from using features like Precision Finding, that require ultra-wideband technology for accuracy, trusting exclusively on Bluetooth 5.4 and its integrated sound to find objects.
