What Xiaomi smartphones support wireless charging: the full guide 2026

Wireless charging has long ceased to be an exclusive feature of flagships β€” today it is equipped with even budget models. But Xiaomi with this technology has always had a special history: the company has been actively implementing it in top devices, then suddenly excluded from the lines without explanation. If you plan to buy a smartphone with support for Qi-standard or already own a Xiaomi device and want to understand the nuances, this guide will help to avoid mistakes.

We analyzed all the models of the brand over the past 5 years, taking into account not only the official specifications, but also the results of tests by independent laboratories. It turned out that even some devices that do not advertise support for wireless charging in characteristics can work with it under certain conditions.

In this article you will find:

  • πŸ“± Full list of Xiaomi, Redmi and POCO wireless charging (including hidden capabilities)
  • ⚑ Charging speeds comparison – which models are really fast, and which only β€œfor the tick"

Official list of Xiaomi smartphones with wireless charging (2019–2026)

Let’s start with the good news: Xiaomi has been steadily wirelessly charging its flagship Mi and Xiaomi series since 2020 (after rebranding).

  • πŸ”Ή Xiaomi 13 Pro, 13 Ultra, 14, 14 Pro – support 50W wireless charging (the fastest on the market), but require a branded Xiaomi HyperCharge station.
  • πŸ”Ή Xiaomi 12 Pro, 12S Ultra β€” 50W, But with a limitation: when using third-party charging, the speed drops to 10–15W.
  • πŸ”Ή Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra, Mi 11 Pro β€” 67W wired but wireless 10W (marketing-play?).
  • πŸ”Ή Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro, Mi 10 Ultra β€” 30W Wireless, but only with the original adapter.

And now a surprise: sub-brands Redmi and POCO They've been ignoring technology for the last 5 years, and they've only gotten wireless charging:

  • πŸ“Œ Redmi K50 Ultra (30W, but only in the Chinese version; global version - no support).
  • πŸ“Œ POCO F5 Pro – Despite marketing, the real speed is not higher 7.5W (GSMArena test).

⚠️ Note: Xiaomi models for the Chinese market (with suffix) CN The article often has advanced charging capabilities that are not available in the global versions. for example, Xiaomi 13 Pro CN supportive 50W, Xiaomi 13 Pro Global is a global model 30W.

Hidden features: what Xiaomi can be β€œunlocked” for Qi-charging

Few people know, but some Xiaomi smartphones have hardware support for wireless charging, but it's turned off at the software level.

  • πŸ”§ Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G NE β€” has a Qi coil but requires firmware EU ROM or manually activated through ADB.
  • πŸ”§ POCO X3 Pro - supports 5W charging after installing the custom core (risk of loss of warranty!).
  • πŸ”§ Redmi Note 11 Pro+ 5G β€” Chinese firmware has a hidden option, but the speed does not exceed 2.5W.

To activate on the Mi 11 Lite 5G NE need:

  1. Unlock the bootloader (Mi Unlock Tool).
  2. Install TWRP and stitch the modified core.
  3. Enable the option in the engineering menu (#4636##).

⚠️ Warning: Unofficial activation of wireless charging can lead to overheating of the battery and shorten its life. POCO X3 Pro after such manipulations users complained of spontaneous reboots when charging.

Firmware details for Mi 11 Lite 5G NE
To enable wireless charging on this model, you need to edit the file wireless_charger.kl section /vendor/etc. In the line wireless.charger.enable=0 change 1. After restarting, the device must determine the Qi station, but power is limited. 5W. It is recommended to use a cooling stand, as the body temperature can rise to 45Β°C.

Charging Speed: Marketing vs Reality

Manufacturers like to give the maximum values in the specs, but in real conditions the speed is often lower. We tested several Xiaomi models with popular wireless stations:

  • πŸ“Š Xiaomi 14 Pro + Xiaomi HyperCharge 50W β†’ 48W (It is real, but after 15 minutes the power drops to 20W heat-up.
  • πŸ“Š Xiaomi 13 Ultra + Belkin BoostCharge Pro 15W β†’ only 7.5W (despite the claims 50W).
  • πŸ“Š Redmi K50 Ultra (CN) + Anker PowerWave 15W β†’ 12W (stable, without overheating).

Critical information: Xiaomi smartphones with support 50W Wireless charging (13 Pro, 14 Pro) requires the mandatory use of the branded Xiaomi HyperCharge station.When connected to third-party devices (even with support for Qi 1.3), the power is automatically limited to 10W β€” It's written in the firmware!

ModelDeclared power (W)Real power (W)Best Station for Maximum Speed
Xiaomi 14 Pro5048 (first 10 minutes), then 20Xiaomi HyperCharge 50W
Xiaomi 12S Ultra5015 (with third-party stations)Xiaomi Mi Wireless Charging Stand

πŸ’‘

If you support Xiaomi 50W, But it's charging slowly, try turning off Optimized Charging in the battery settings. Also check if the power saving mode is on, which limits power to 5W station-wise.

Compatibility with charging stations: what works and what does not

Not all Qi stations are equally useful for Xiaomi smartphones.

  • βœ… Best Choice: Xiaomi Mi Wireless Charging Stand 20W β€” Universal for most models, supports vertical charging.
  • βœ… Anker PowerWave 15W β€” It works with all Xiaomi companies except 13/14 Pro (you need it there) 50W station).
  • ❌ Samsung Wireless Charger Duo – limits power to 5W For all Xiaomi (a problem in the data exchange protocol).
  • ❌ Apple MagSafe – physically incompatible due to magnetic mounting (not attractive to Xiaomi).

The thing about wireless car charging is that most of them, like Baseus Car Holder, don't give you more than that. 7.5W, but for Xiaomi 13/14 Pro this is critical: at such power, the smartphone can even discharge during navigation due to the high power consumption of the screen.

⚠️ Note: If you use a case with metal inserts (for example, Spigen Tough Armor), wireless charging may not work or cause overheating.The optimal thickness of the case for Qi charging is up to 3 mm.

Make sure the station supports Qi 1.2 or higher

Check the maximum power of the station (should not be lower than the power of the smartphone)

Eliminate metal objects between the phone and the station

Use the original power supply (not all stations work with the power supply) USB-A)

Typical problems and their solutions

Even if your Xiaomi officially supports wireless charging, you may face the following problems:

1. Slow charging (less than) 5W)

Causes and solutions:

  • πŸ”‹ Unoriginal power supply - use an adapter with Quick Charge support 3.0/4.0.
  • πŸ”‹ Power saving mode is activated - turn it off in Settings β†’ Battery.
  • πŸ”‹ Overheating – Remove the case and let the phone cool to 30Β°C.

2. Charging is interrupted or does not start

Most often it's the fault:

  • πŸ›‘ Mispositioning – The charging coil in Xiaomi is usually located in the lower third of the case (rather than in the center, like Samsung’s).
  • πŸ›‘ Damaged station – check it with another device.
  • πŸ›‘ Update of the firmware - after some updates MIUI It resets the charging settings. Try resetting the settings to Settings. β†’ System system β†’ Resetting settings β†’ Reset the charging settings.

3.The phone is heating above 40Β°C

This is normal for the first 10-15 minutes of high-power charging (30W+), but if the heat is maintained:

  • πŸ”₯ Use an active cooling station (e.g., Xiaomi HyperCharge has a fan).
  • πŸ”₯ Turn off background processes (especially games and navigation).
  • πŸ”₯ Change the case for a thin silicone (up to 2 mm thick).

Wireless charging vs wired: what is more profitable for Xiaomi

Let’s figure out when to choose wireless charging, and when it is better to stay on wired:

CriteriaWire-based chargingWireless charging
Speed (max.)120W (Xiaomi 14 Pro)50W (Xiaomi 14 Pro)
Battery wear and tearHigher (due to high currents)Below (more smooth charge)
ConvenienceWe need to plug in the cable.Just put it in the station.
CostCheaper (cable included)Higher road (station) ~3000–5000β‚½)
CompatibilityAnybody. USB-C cableQi stations only (power restrictions)

Conclusion: Wireless charging is justified if:

  • βœ” You often charge your phone on your desktop or at night (convenience).
  • βœ” You have Xiaomi’s flagship with support 30W+ (time-saving).
  • βœ” You are ready to spend on a quality station (cheap often do not give the declared power).

In other cases, wired charging remains a more practical option - especially for budget models, where wireless is implemented "for the tick" (for example, for example, the mobile phone is not a real option, POCO F5 Pro with him. 7.5W).

The future of wireless charging in Xiaomi smartphones

In 2026, Xiaomi took a step forward by presenting the 200W wired 80W The Xiaomi 14 Ultra concept (not yet in production) has a few trends to consider when choosing a new one:

  • πŸš€ Ultra-fast wireless charging (80W+) It will become the standard for flagships as early as 2026, but will require active cooling (possibly even liquid-powered fuel).
  • πŸ”„ Reverse wireless charging (for headphones, watches) will appear in Redmi and POCO β€” The first tests are already underway at Redmi. K70 Pro.
  • 🌍 Xiaomi has joined the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC), This is why we are abandoning proprietary solutions in favor of Qi 2.0.

But there are risks: as power increases, so does heating. According to DXOMark, Xiaomi 13 Ultra 50W charging is heated to 47Β°C is close to a critical threshold for lithium polymer batteries, and Xiaomi may in the future introduce a liquid cooling system directly into the smartphone case (a patent for the technology the company filed in 2023).

Details about Xiaomi’s patent application
In October 2023, Xiaomi filed a patent for a wireless charging cooling system that includes a micropump and heat exchanger built into the back of a smartphone, which engineers estimate will reduce the temperature by 15-20.Β°C when charged at power 80W+. The technology is expected to debut in Xiaomi 15 Ultra (2026).
