Huawei recently rolled out two new colors for their P50 Pocket smartphone that went on sale on the 4th of July. Alongside the smartphone, the Chinese smartphone giant has released its first anti-lost device. In an attempt to explore smartphone accessories further, Huawei launched the device.

The first of its kind in Huawei’s lineup, the anti-lost device has been officially named Huawei Tag Anti-Lost Wizard. The device weighs 6g and has a 5.6mm thickness, per the official introduction. It supports near-field search technologies with a maximum 92-decibel siren and a pop-up window that may swiftly notify you when goods are left behind.

The Huawei Tag Anti-Lost Wizard costs 69 Chinese Yuan ($10 approx.) for a leather keychain, 299 Chinese Yuan ($45 approx.) for a four-piece combination, and 99 Chinese Yuan ($15 approx.) for a single unit, making it three times less cheap than the Apple AirTag. On July 30, it will be formally introduced.

The Huawei Tag Anti-Lost Wizard provides great functionality with long-distance object detection, remote location via Huawei’s “find” network, and positioning via hundreds of millions of Huawei devices. The Huawei Tag Anti-Lost Wizard allows encrypted reporting of location data, can be anonymous in both directions and includes a long-term security reminder function for unknown Huawei Tags to deter tracking.

Huawei Tag Anti-Lost Wizard also supports IP67 dust and water resistance, NFC connectivity, and has a battery life of more than a year, making the device suitable for long-term use and ensuring durability. It also comes with an optional leather keychain.

Anti-lost devices have become a common accessory for smartphone users. The Huawei Tag Anti-Lost Wizard will be competing with the Apple AirTag and the Samsung Galaxy Smart Tag, which retail for around 200 Chinese Yuan ($30) and 249 Chinese Yuan ($39), respectively. Both of them were launched in the first half of 2021.

If you are in the market for a miniature tracking device, currently your only purchase options are either the Apple AirTags or Samsung’s SmartTags and SmartTag+. However, it seems that one well renowned Chinese brand is looking to expand to the portable tracker market with their own iteration of the category soon – Huawei.

Recently, Huawei devices in China have received an update via the Huawei Cloud app on their phone stating that the Huawei Cloud app has added support for the “Huawei Tag”, in which the update log reads that the Huawei Tag is an ultra-wideband (UWB) tracking device that allows users to accurately locate their lost or misplaced personal belongings. 

News of Huawei developing a smart portable tracking device is not something recent, as back in November 2021, our team had already reported that Huawei had applied for the “Huawei S-Tag” trademark in the European Union. However, with this recent leak, it seems that the launch of the Huawei smart tracker may be happening soon, and by then, consumers will have a third choice to the duopoly that Apple and Samsung currently hold in the smart tracker market.

Speaking of Huawei, the company had recently announced its Huawei Mate Xs 2 foldable last month. Instead of folding inwards like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3 or Oppo Find N, the device features an outward folding design that is a 6.5-inch OLED screen when folded, and a 7.8-inch screen when unfolded.

This revolutionary design allows for the Huawei Mate Xs 2 to be much lighter than its competitors, at only 255 grams overall. The camera setup of the Mate Xs 2 is quite potent as well featuring a 50MP main shooter, 12MP ultra-wide, and 8MP ultra-wide with OIS and 3x optical zoom outfitted in the slim and sleek chassis of the device.
