Recent rumours suggest that ASUS may be pausing the development of new smartphones . There are now more details on why ASUS has chosen to stop making new phones. And it’s definitely not a comeback plan, far from it.
At a pre-event media interview, Shih reportedly said that ASUS will not be adding new mobile phone models in the future. He also said the company would continue to take care of existing phone users and that internal measures were still being finalized.
ASUS feels AI hardware offers more growth potential than the smartphone market. Instead of tying up its resources in phone manufacturing, it’s putting them to better use by switching to other AI devices like PCs and smart glasses.

Smart tags available to Android are provided by brands like Samsung and Motorola, such as the SmartTag2 and Moto Tag 2. iOS users have Apple’s AirTag2 instead. The smart tag market will welcome a new brand entirely, Xiaomi . A new leak reveals details of Xiaomi’s first smart tag, called the Xiaomi Tag.
Xiaomi Tag may have two versions
Sometime last year, there were rumours of the smart tag making its debut on December 26th, but that didn’t happen. A tipster, leaker Kacper Skrzypek on X , shared that Xiaomi is working on its item tracker based on the translated files within HyperOS. According to him, it’ll be similar to Galaxy SmartTag 2. The area of interest is that there will be two versions of the Xiaomi Tag: one with UWB and one without.
How will #XiaomiTag look? That’s what I found in #HyperOS code! – Similar to Galaxy SmartTag 2 – 2 models: one with UWB, one without – CR2032 battery, same as in Samsung – looks like China only for now? (or CN app has only Chinese entries? We will see…) pic.twitter.com/KT3ayFXhs4 — Kacper Skrzypek 🇵🇱 (@kacskrz) January 23, 2026
The tracker will be powered by a CR2032 coin battery, so it can easily be replaced just like Samsung’s. The tipster also shared details on how the Xiaomi Tag would work.
The Xiaomi Tag could only launch in China for now
The pairing is a simple process. It only takes peeling off the label and bringing it close to your phone. You’ll be able to view the Xiaomi Tag’s location on a map, and just like existing smart tags, you’ll be notified when you leave it behind .
For now, though, the Xiaomi Tag will only launch in the company’s home market, China, the leaker points out. While it hasn’t been confirmed yet, there’s the possibility of Xiaomi expanding the Xiaomi Tag to the global markets.
