Wireless charging has long ceased to be an exclusive feature of flagship smartphones โ today it is supported even by some budget models. However, Xiaomiโs situation with this technology remains ambiguous: the company is actively implementing it in the premium series, but often saves on the mid-range and budget segment. If you plan to buy a smartphone with support for Qi-standard or already own a Xiaomi device and want to know whether it can be charged wirelessly โ this article will help you understand.
Weโve analyzed all the current models of the brand (including the sub-brands Redmi and POCO) and compiled a complete list of smartphones with wireless charging, indicating not only the presence of the feature, but also its key parameters: maximum power, compatibility with reverse charging and nuances of use.
Why not all Xiaomi flagships support wireless charging?
At first glance, it seems logical that top-end models should be equipped with all the available technologies, but Xiaomi often refuses to wireless charging even in premium series โ for example, in the Xiaomi 13T or POCO F5 Pro.
- ๐ Fast wired charging priority.The company is betting on ultrafast adapters (do). 210W Redmi Note 12 Turbo, which can charge the battery in 10-15 minutes, wireless solutions can not compete in speed yet.
- ๐ฐ Cost reduction: The Qi module increases the price of the device by 10-15%, which is critical for budget and mid-budget models.
- ๐ฑ Design constraints: It is difficult to place a charging coil in thin housings without compromising battery capacity or heat sink capacity.
- ๐ Backward compatibility: Some models (e.g. Xiaomi) 12S Ultras only support reverse wireless charging (for accessories), but cannot charge themselves from Qi stations.
Interestingly, even within a series, the approach can be radically different: for example, the Xiaomi 13 Pro received full wireless charging on 50W, and the Xiaomi 13 (base model) did not. This is due to the positioning: the โProโ versions are aimed at users who care about all possible chips, while the standard models are optimized for price.
Official list of Xiaomi smartphones with wireless charging (2026)
Below are all the current Xiaomi, Redmi and POCO models that support Qi (at the time of the update โ June 2026). Note that this is about receiving energy from the charging station, not about recharging (for example, for headphones or watches).
| Model | Max. power Qi (W) | Reverse charging | Year of release | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Xiaomi 14 Pro | 50W | โ 10W | 2023 | Requires a branded Xiaomi 50W Wireless Charger station for maximum speed. |
| Xiaomi 13 Pro | 50W | โ 10W | 2022 | Supports charging in a horizontal position (game mode). |
| Xiaomi 12 Pro | 50W | โ 10W | 2021 | Compatible with third-party stations (such as Anker), but power may be limited to 15W. |
| Xiaomi Mix 4 | 50W | โ 10W | 2021 | The first Mix series model to feature wireless charging.Qi support added to the firmware after release. |
| Xiaomi 11 Pro / 11 Ultra | 67W | โ 10W | 2021 | The only Xiaomi smartphones with support for 67W wireless charging (requires a proprietary station). |
Note: the table only lists models that are guaranteed to support charging from Qi stations. Some devices (such as the Xiaomi 12S or Redmi K60 Pro) have a wireless charging module, but it is only designed for reverse power transfer (for example, for charging the Xiaomi Watch S3 or Buds 4 Pro headphones).

If your model is not listed, but the specifications mention โwireless chargingโ โ check whether it is about receiving energy (Qi) or only about recharging (for accessories).
How to check if your Xiaomi supports wireless charging?
If youโre not sure if your smartphone is equipped with a Qi module, there are a few ways to find out:
- Verify through settings: Go to Settings โ About Phone โ Full Specifications. The Battery section may include โWireless Charging.โ However, this method does not work on all firmware (for example, MIUI Global often does not have information).
- Visual inspection: Remove the case and look at the back cover. Some models (such as the Xiaomi 11 Ultra) have Qi markings or a wireless charging symbol (waves) next to the camera.
- Charging station test: Put your phone on the Qi station, and if you start charging (the zipper icon or "Wireless charging" appears on the screen), the module is present, and if you don't respond, either the module doesn't exist or you need to activate the settings.
- Model Check: Type your model name into a search engine and ask for "Specifications." Official sources (e.g. Xiaomi or GSMArena) always indicate Qi support, if any.
โ ๏ธ Attention: Some users confuse wireless charging with fast charging. POCO F4 GT support 120W It's wired charging, but there's no wireless module in this model. Always check the standard (Qi or Qi). PMA).

Wireless charging speed: what do you need to know?
The maximum power specified in the specifications (e.g., 50W for Xiaomi 14 Pro) is achieved only if several conditions are met:
- ๐ Branded charging station. Xiaomi smartphones with support 50W They require special stations (e.g. Xiaomi) 50W Wireless Charger. Standard Qi stations on the 5Wโ10W They will charge 5-10 times slower.
- ๐ฑ For maximum speed, the device must lie strictly in the center of the station. A 5-10 mm shift can reduce power to 15Wโ20W.
- ๐ Temperature: overheating (above 40)ยฐC) the system automatically reduces power, including the smartphone itself and the charging station.
- ๐ On some models (for example, Xiaomi 12 Pro) after the update MIUI There is an option for accelerated wireless charging, which must be enabled manually in Settings โ Battery.
For comparison, even under ideal 50W wireless charging conditions, itโs enough to fill the Xiaomi 14 Pro battery (4880 mAh) in about 50 to 60 minutes. Thatโs 2-3 times longer than wired charging at 120W. However, the wireless method has advantages: no wear on the USB-C connector and convenience (you can just put the phone on the station without connecting the cable).

If your model supports 50W but charging is slow, try turning off the Optimized Charging function in the battery settings โ it artificially limits current to extend battery life.
Can I add wireless charging to Xiaomi where it is not?
It is technically possible to equip a smartphone with a Qi module after the fact, but this comes with risks and limitations.
- There are battery cases (for example, Xiaomi Mi Wireless Charging Case), which are attached to the back panel and connected to the connector. USB-C. They allow you to charge your phone without wires, but: โ ๏ธ Increase the thickness of the device by 5-8 mm. โ ๏ธ Power is limited. 5Wโ10W (slower than standard wired charging). โ ๏ธ Require periodic charging of the cover itself.
- In service centers offer services for the integration of Qi-coil in the case of a smartphone. The cost is from 3000 to 8000 rubles depending on the model: โ ๏ธ Loss of warranty (if the phone is under warranty). โ ๏ธ Risk of damage to the motherboard during unqualified installation. โ ๏ธ Possible problems with tightness (dust, moisture).
- There are adapters that connect to the adapter. USB-C They magnetize to the back, mimicking wireless charging. Example: Baseus Wireless Charger Receiver: โ ๏ธ It is difficult to carry around (you need to connect each time). โ ๏ธ Speed is limited. 5W.
โ ๏ธ Before any modifications, check if your model has a metal back panel (e.g. Xiaomi). 11T The metal blocks the Qi signal, so it will be useless to install the module. Also, consider that after the intervention in the design, the phone may lose certification. IP53/IP68 (waterproofing).

Reverse wireless charging: what is it and why is it needed?
Many Xiaomi smartphones (even without Qi power) feature reverse wireless charging, which allows you to use your phone as a transmitting station to charge other devices, such as headphones, smartwatches, fitness bracelets or even other smartphones.
- ๐ How it works: The phone gives off some of its battery power through the built-in coil. 5Wโ10W.
- ๐ฑ What models support: The feature is available in most flagships of recent years, including: ๐ Xiaomi 13/13 Pro/13 Ultra (10W) ๐ Xiaomi 12S Ultra (10W) ๐ Redmi K50 Ultra (5W) ๐ POCO F4 Pro (5W)
- โก How to Enable: Go to Settings โ Battery โ Wireless reverse charging and activate the function. Then put the compatible device on the back of the smartphone (usually in the center).
โ ๏ธ Note: Reverse charging significantly reduces the battery life of the main device. For example, when charging headphones Xiaomi Buds 4 Pro from Xiaomi 13 Pro battery phone will run out of 1-2% per minute. The feature can also overheat the phone if you use it for longer than 10-15 minutes in a row.
Useful life hack: reverse charging can be used on trips if you don't have a separate headphone station. Just put a case with headphones on the back of your smartphone and they start charging. But remember, this is not a substitute for full charging - rather, it will help in emergency situations.
