Apple isn’t the only major brand removing the charger from the box of its latest flagship phone. As noticed on Reddit, Xiaomi has announced that its upcoming Mi 11 phone won’t include a charger. The rationale is familiar. Many people already have old chargers on hand, and this answers demands for a “more environmentally friendly” device with less waste and smaller packaging.

Xiaomi said there would be a conference on December 28th to discuss the decision. It acknowledge the choice would be “unreasonable” for some would-be buyers.

Critics have already blasted the move. While there is an environmental argument to made for shipping fewer chargers, this also helps Xiaomi save money. It can maintain or grow its profit margins, especially for those customers that buy an official charger. That could include people who already have chargers — you can’t really take advantage of fast charging unless you have a compatible adapter.


The exclusion won’t matter much in North America and other places where Xiaomi has a limited audience. However, it could easily set the stage for what’s to come. Between this and Samsung reportedly skipping the charger with the Galaxy S21, there’s a real chance you’ll have to go out of your way to find a handset (at least, a high-end handset) with an included power brick in 2021.

This will be the new trend of 2021. I remember when Xiaomi trolled Apple for their lame excuses for excluding the charger with the iPhone 12 lineup. Now they're following same path. Hypocrites on disguise.
They always follow the lead of Apple.

Please how does phones coming with chargers cause "environmental issues" I want to learn something today....

According to Xiaomi CEO, said people have many chargers which creates a burden on the environment. He said that is the reason Xiaomi was canceling the charger for the Mi 11.
We made an important decision: in response to the call of technology and environmental protection, Xiaomi 11 canceled the random charger. Today everyone has a lot of idle chargers, which is both your trouble and the burden of the environment. We are well aware that this decision may not be understood or even complained,” Jun said.

What he meant, if you have charger already, no need ordering with charger. Unless you don't have, which is also free when you you order it with phone together

So it means this folks only considered existing customers alone, hmmmm.....anyways I don't think any sane human will order without charger
