The absence of Ultra-wideband (UWB) technology in most Android Find Hub trackers has raised questions among consumers. While the Apple AirTag utilizes UWB for its “Precision Finding” feature, enabling precise distance and directional tracking, this capability is rarely seen in competing devices. Currently, only the Moto Tag offers UWB functionality, with a successor, the Moto Tag 2, also set to include this feature.
Many users express their desire for UWB in Android trackers, as evidenced by numerous comments on related articles from 9to5Google. However, Google’s software support has not spurred widespread adoption of UWB technology among other manufacturers. The forthcoming Xiaomi Tag is expected to launch without UWB, indicating a trend among Android devices.
For many, Bluetooth remains sufficient for locating items such as bags and purses, as it can effectively guide users to the general vicinity of lost belongings. The demand for UWB is particularly noted for smaller items like keys, yet many users report satisfaction with Bluetooth alone, including built-in chimes to aid in tracking.
