In addition to BLE, AirTags use UWB. I assume this is how AirTags can provide fairly high-fidelity directional guidance, something that wasn't clear the new set of Android tags provide.
Might not be an Android tag limitation rather than a smartphone limitation. Few android smartphones offer UWB, but maybe this will change
