Wireless charging has become an integral part of the smartphone ecosystem, and Xiaomi is keeping up with trends. However, not all of the brand’s devices support this technology — even among the flagship models of recent years, there are exceptions. If you plan to buy wireless charging for your Xiaomi or only choose a new smartphone with this feature, it is important to understand the nuances of compatibility, power standards and potential limitations.
In this article, we will not only list all the Xiaomi, Redmi and POCO models that support wireless charging, but also explain how to choose the right charger, avoid battery overheating, and even modify some devices to add this feature.
Xiaomi models officially support wireless charging
Xiaomi has been introducing wireless charging into its smartphones since 2020, but even today, this feature remains the prerogative of flagship and some sub-flagship lines. Below is a complete list of models with factory support for the technology, broken down by series and years of release.
It’s important to understand that wireless charging support doesn’t always mean the same speed.For example, the Xiaomi Mi 10 is limited to 30W, whereas the Xiaomi 14 Pro already supports 50W. This affects not only charging time, but also charger requirements.
- 📱 Xiaomi series (flagships): Mi 10, Mi 10 Pro, Mi 10 Ultra, Mi 11, Mi 11 Pro, Mi 11 Ultra, 12, 12 Pro, 12S, 12S Pro, 12S Ultra, 12T Pro, 13, 13 Pro, 13 Ultra, 14, 14 Pro, 14 Ultra.
- 📱 Xiaomi Mix Series: Mix 4, Mix Fold, Mix Fold 2, Mix Fold 3.
- 📱 The Redmi: Redmi series K40 Pro+, Redmi K50 Gaming, Redmi K50 Ultra, Redmi K60 Pro, Redmi K60 Ultra.
- 📱 Series POCO: POCO F4 GT, POCO F5 Pro (only in Chinese version).
Note: Some models, such as the POCO F5 Pro, only support wireless charging in regional versions (Chinese or global with CN firmware).
Wireless charging speeds: what do 30W, 50W and 80W mean?
Xiaomi’s wireless charging power ranges from 10W to 80W, but not all devices are capable of using maximum values. For example, the Xiaomi 14 Ultra supports 80W, but only with the original charger and without a case. Even a thick protective glass can reduce power to 30-40W.
Below is a table with real charging speeds for popular models, and note that the manufacturer often indicates peak power, whereas in real conditions (with heating in mind), the speed drops by 20 to 30 percent.
| Model | Max. power (Watt) | Real speed (note) | Required standard |
|---|---|---|---|
| Xiaomi 14 Ultra | 80 | 60–70 | Qi 1.2.4 + proprietary |
| Xiaomi 13 Pro | 50 | 40–45 | Qi 1.2.4 |
| Redmi K60 Ultra | 30 | 20–25 | Qi 1.2.3 |
| POCO F4 GT | 10 | 7–9 | Qi 1.2.2 |
| Xiaomi Mix Fold 3 | 50 | 35–40 | Qi 1.2.4 (with limitations) |
Critical detail: Xiaomi’s 50W+-enabled smartphones require branded chargers with an authorization chip. Third-party charging (even with a stated 50W power) is often limited to 10-15W due to lack of certification.
⚠️ Note: Use of non-original chargers with higher power 30W In extreme cases, this causes the charging to be turned off or even the wireless charging function to be lost after the firmware update.
How to Check if Your Xiaomi Supports Wireless Charging
If you’re not sure if your smartphone is equipped with a wireless charging module, there are several ways to find out – without disassembling the device.
Method 1: Check the settings.
- Go to Settings → About Phone → Specifications.
- Find the Battery or Charging section.
- If there is a mention of Wireless charging or Qi, the function is supported.
Method 2: Visual inspection.
- 🔍 Look at the back cover of your smartphone. Most wireless charging models have a metal plate (usually under the logo or in the center).
- 📦 Check the device box – the specification sticker may have a Qi icon or the words Wireless Charging.
Method 3: Test with charger.
If you have wireless charging on hand (even on 5W), put your smartphone on it. Compatible models will show a Charge notification or a zipper icon on the lock screen. If there is no reaction, the function is not supported.
Check the compatibility of the model|Make sure the charging is on in the socket|Remove the cover and the protective glass|Try another charger.|Update the firmware to the latest version-->
Can you add wireless charging to incompatible Xiaomi models?
Technically, but with reservations, some users are installing wireless charging modules in smartphones without factory support (e.g. Redmi Note 12 Pro+ or POCO X5 Pro).
- 🔧 Disassembly of the device (risk of damage to plumes).
- 💰 Purchases of the module (from 1000 to 3000) ₽ power-dependent).
- 📉 Warranty loss (if the device is warranty, the service center will refuse repairs).
- ⚡ Power limitations (maximum 10–15W Due to lack of support at the firmware level).
Forums (like 4PDA or XDA Developers) have instructions for installing modules for specific models, but we don’t recommend doing this without experience in electronics repair. The alternative is to use adhesive adapters (like the Nillkin Magic Tag) that attach to the back cover and connect to the USB-C connector.
Which Xiaomi models are most frequently modified for wireless charging?
Which Chargers Are Right for Xiaomi: A Review of the Best Options
Even if your smartphone supports wireless charging, not every charger will provide the declared power. For example, for Xiaomi 14 Pro (50W) only Xiaomi Mi Wireless Charging Stand 50W or Baseus 65W Magnetic with Qi 1.2.4 certification will work. Budget charges (for example, from Anker or Belkin) are often limited to 10-15W.
Rating of chargers for Xiaomi (in terms of price / quality):
- 🥇 Xiaomi Mi Wireless Charging Stand 50W — Original active-cooled device, supports vertical charging. Minus: expensive (about 5000) ₽).
- 🥈 Baseus 65W Magnetic – universal charging with magnetic mounting (suitable for iPhone and Xiaomi), power up to 15W most models.
- 🥉 Anker PowerWave Pad - Budget option (2000) ₽) supportive 10W, It is suitable for older models (Mi 10, Mi 11).
- 🔌 Xiaomi Mi 2-in-1 Wireless Charger – combo device (wireless charging) + USB-port, convenient for travel.
An important nuance: models with 50W+ support (such as the Xiaomi 13 Ultra) require active cooling. Without a fan, charging automatically reduces power to 30W when heated above 40°C.
⚠️ Warning: Do not use metal stands or charging with metal inserts - they can cause short circuit due to the induction field.
Covers, glass and other factors affecting charging
Even if your Xiaomi supports wireless charging, accessories can block it from working.
- 📱 Thick covers (more than 3 mm) - reduce power by 30-50%, especially critical for models with a high-performance 50W+.
- 🛡️ Tempered glass with metallized layer - completely block the induction field.
- 🧲 Magnetic holders (for example, for fastening in the machine) – can cause malfunctions in the charging module.
- 🔋 Worn-out battery (capacity below 80%) – charging is automatically limited to 5–10W.
If your smartphone stops charging wirelessly, try:
- Remove the cover and glass.
- Reset the device.
- Clear the contacts of the charging module (dust and dirt may interfere with induction).
- Update the firmware – some versions of MIUI have bugs with wireless charging.
💡
If you use wireless charging frequently, opt for module-cut cases or thin silicone options (up to 2mm thick).For example, the official Xiaomi Smart Case cases for the 13/14 series are optimized for charging up to 50W.
Frequent problems and their solutions
Xiaomi users often encounter common wireless charging errors, and here are the most common ones and fixes:
| Problem. | Possible cause | Decision |
|---|---|---|
| Charging starts and stops immediately. | Overheating of the module or battery | Let the smartphone cool, remove the case, use charging with a fan |
| Power is limited to 5W instead of 30W+ | Non-original charger | Buy a certified charger (e.g. Xiaomi 50W Stand) |
| The smartphone does not respond to charging | The Qi module is turned off in the settings | Check the settings → Battery → Wireless charging |
| The charger only works in a horizontal position. | Incorrect positioning of the coil | Try to move the smartphone 1-2 mm left / right |
If neither of these methods worked, the wireless charging module or the power controller may have failed, and this requires a diagnosis at a service center, and the cost of replacing the module is between 2,000 and 5,000. ₽ model-wise.
💡
Most wireless charging problems on Xiaomi are related to overheating or incompatible hardware.Always use original accessories and monitor the temperature of the device while charging.
