Xiaomi Redmi 10 Pro is a popular smartphone with excellent price/quality ratio, but many users face confusion around the wireless charging function. Unlike the flagship models, there is no built-in Qi module, but this does not mean that wireless charging capabilities are not available. In this article, we will discuss all the activation methods, compatible accessories and customization nuances that will help avoid typical errors.
It's important to understand that the Redmi 10 Pro doesn't support wireless charging out of the box -- it's going to require additional hardware, but with the right approach, you can charge the device wirelessly as efficiently as the original Qi models. We've tested a few solutions and collected only working methods based on the features of MIUI firmware.
If youβve tried wireless charging before and youβve had problems (like your phone doesnβt recognize the charger or is warming up), thereβs a solution section at the end of the article, and weβve compiled a comparison table of accessories and answered a lot of questions in the FAQ.
Does the Redmi 10 Pro support wireless charging?
Officially, no. The specifications for the Xiaomi Redmi 10 Pro (model 21061119AG) do not specify wireless charging, as the device does not have a built-in Qi-standard receiver. However, this does not mean that the function cannot be implemented.
There are two main ways to add wireless charging:
- π Use of a receiver adapter (inserted into the connector) USB-C and sticks to the back panel).
- π± Installation of the wireless charging module inside the case (requires disassembly of the smartphone).
The first method is simpler and safer, the second is more complex but more reliable, both have their pros and cons, which we will discuss below, and it is worth considering that the charging speed will be lower than that of wired solutions (usually up to 5-7 watts versus 18-33 watts for original charges).
What accessories are needed for wireless charging?
To enable wireless charging, you will need:
- Qi receiver - a thin plate with a connector USB-C, It's a phone that plugs into the back and attaches to the back: πΉ Nillkin Magic Tag 2 (compatible with the game) MIUI, 0.5 mm thickness). πΉ Yootech Wireless Receiver (supports 10W but requires precise installation).
Qi-charging station
- π Xiaomi Mi Wireless Charging Pad (10W, original accessory).
- π Anker PowerWave Pad (7.5W) is universally compatible).
- Glue or a case with a magnet - to fix the receiver (otherwise it will move when charging).

If the phone doesn't recognize charging, try using a different cable to initially activate the adapter, which sometimes helps wake the receiver up.
What to do if wireless charging does not work?
If the charging does not start after installing the adapter, check the following points:
- π Power to the charging station: Make sure it's plugged in and the light is on. Some models require a 2A power supply (a standard charger from Redmi will do).
- π± Position: Try to move the device 1-2 mm in different directions.Qi receivers are sensitive to alignment.
- π Adapter Cable: If you use an adapter with a connector USB-C, Make sure it's tightly inserted, sometimes a slight swaying of the connector helps.
- π Reboot: Turn off and turn on the phone again - this resets temporary recognition errors.
