Wireless charging has long ceased to be an exclusive feature of flagship devices โ today it is available even in mid-budget smartphones and smart watches. Xiaomi, as one of the leaders in the mobile electronics market, is actively implementing Qi-standard technology in its devices, but not all models are equipped with this option. In this article, we will understand which gadgets of the brand support induction charging, what to look for when choosing a charging station, and why some devices charge more slowly than others.
Itโs important to understand that Xiaomiโs wireless charging is implemented in many ways, from a base power of 5W to an ultra-fast 50W in the top models. In addition, some devices (such as the Mi Mix 3 or Mi 10 Ultra) support reverse wireless charging, allowing other gadgets to be charged from their battery. Weโve gathered up-to-date information for 2026, including rare models and accessories that are often forgotten.
Xiaomi smartphones with wireless charging: the full list
Letโs start with the most popular segment โ smartphones. Xiaomi began to introduce wireless charging in 2018 with the model Mi Mix 2S, but the technology appeared in mass only in the Mi and Redmi K. Below is an exhaustive list of models with an indication of maximum charging power and year of release.
- ๐ฑ Xiaomi 14 Pro - 50 W (2023)
- ๐ฑ Xiaomi 13 Pro - 50 W (2022)
- ๐ฑ Xiaomi 12 Pro - 50 W (2021)
- ๐ฑ Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra โ 67 watts (2021, record holder for power)
- ๐ฑ Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra โ 50 W (2020, with reverse charging)
- ๐ฑ Redmi K60 Pro - 30 watts (2023)
- ๐ฑ Redmi K50 Pro - 30 W (2022)
- ๐ฑ Mi Mix 4 โ 50 watts (2021, under the screen)
- ๐ฑ Mi Mix 3 โ 10 watts (2018) โ the first model with Qi)
Note: POCO models and most Redmi Notes do not support wireless charging โ this is due to the positioning as a budget device. The exception is the POCO F5 Pro (2023), which received 30W Qi charging, but only in the global version (sold in China as the Redmi K60).
โ ๏ธ Note: Mi 11 Ultra and Mi 10 Ultra models only have 50 original Xiaomi stations.+ Third-party chargers (such as Anker or Belkin) can limit power to 10-15 watts.
| Model | Max. power (Watt) | Reverse charging | Features |
|---|---|---|---|
| Xiaomi 14 Pro | 50 | โ 10 Watts. | Support for Qi2 (magnetic fastening) |
| Mi 11 Ultra | 67 | โ 10 Watts. | Requires a branded station Mi Wireless Charging Stand |
| Redmi K60 Pro | 30 | โ No. | Works with all Qi stations, but slower than flagships |
| Mi Mix 3 | 10 | โ No. | The first model with Qi, weak compatibility with modern stations |
Smart watches and fitness bracelets Xiaomi with Qi-charging
In the wearables segment, Xiaomi also offers wireless charging models, but there are nuances here: Unlike smartphones that use the Qi standard, watches often require proprietary docking stations. For example, the Xiaomi Watch S3 supports wireless charging, but only through the original magnetic cable - universal Qi panels will not work.
Among fitness bracelets, the situation is even stricter: even the flagship Mi Band 8 Pro and Mi Smart Band 7 Pro charge over the wire. Wireless charging is only available in the premium smartwatch line.
- โ Xiaomi Watch 2 Pro โ Magnetic docking station (10 W)
- โ Xiaomi Watch S3 โ Wireless (original cable only)
- โ Xiaomi Mi Watch Revolve Active โ 5W (Qi-compatible)
- โ Xiaomi Watch Color 2 โ Magnetic docking station (5 watts)
Important: Xiaomiโs wirelessly charged smartwatch is not compatible with standard Qi panels for smartphones โ even if you physically lay down on the station, charging will not start. This is due to the use of non-standard power protocols. The exception is the Mi Watch Revolve Active, which supports universal Qi, but with a power limit.

If your Xiaomi Watch S3 isnโt charging from the dock, try cleaning the contacts on the back with an alcohol wipe. Often the problem lies in the oxidation of metal sites.
Headphones, speakers and other gadgets with Qi
In addition to smartphones and watches, Xiaomi also releases other devices that support wireless charging. TWS-Headphones Xiaomi Buds 4 Pro and FlipBuds Pro are equipped with cases that can be charged using Qi technology. Also in the brand range there are portable speakers and even electric toothbrushes with wireless docking stations.
Here is a complete list of non-obvious gadgets:
- ๐ง Xiaomi Buds 4 Pro โ case with 5 watt Qi-charging
- ๐ง Xiaomi FlipBuds Pro โ case with 2.5 watts (slowly)
- ๐ Xiaomi Mi Portable Bluetooth Speaker โ 10 W (Model 2021)
- ๐ชฅ Xiaomi Mi Electric Toothbrush T700 โ wireless docking station (not Qi!)
- ๐ก Xiaomi Mi LED Desk Lamp 1S โ built-in Qi transmitter for smartphones
The Mi LED Desk Lamp 1S is not only a desktop lamp, but also a full 10-watt charging station. It is compatible with all Xiaomi smartphones that support Qi, but due to the vertical location of the coil, some models (such as the Mi 11 Ultra) can charge unstablely.
โ ๏ธ Attention: Headphones Xiaomi Buds 4 Pro require wireless charging exact positioning on the station. If the indicator on the case flashes red, move it 1-2 mm - the coils may not match.
How to Check if Your Xiaomi Device Supports Wireless Charging
If youโre not sure if your gadget is equipped with a Qi module, there are several ways to find out:
- Official specs. Go to mi.com, find your model, and check the Battery and Charging section. Look for Wireless Charging or Qi Standard.
- Visual inspection: The back of a smartphone or watch may have a Qi logo (a stylized letter "Q") or a Wireless Charging label.
- A test with a charging station. Put the device on a working Qi panel. If you see a charging indication (lightning icon on the screen or LED on the station), then there is support.
- Verify through settings. On Xiaomi smartphones, go to Settings โ Battery โ Wireless charging. If there is no point, there is no function.
For headphones and watches, there are fewer ways to check: usually the information is indicated only in the documentation. If the case or case of the device is metal (for example, the Xiaomi Watch S3), the probability of supporting Qi tends to zero - the metal blocks the electromagnetic field.

What charging stations are suitable for Xiaomi: choice and compatibility
Not all wireless charging is equally useful. For Xiaomi devices, it is important to consider three parameters:
- Power: A 30-50W smartphone (such as the Xiaomi 14 Pro) needs a station with the same or higher power, charging 5W will run, but 10 times slower.
- Current models (Xiaomi 13/14 Pro) support Qi2 with magnetic mounting (like MagSafe), but are compatible with the older Qi 1.2.
- Construction: Rechargeable devices (such as the Mi 11 Ultra) need a ventilated station, which can get very hot when they are running for long periods of time.
Here are the proven models of charging stations, optimal for Xiaomi gadgets:
| Model station | Max. Power. | Compatibility | Price (2026) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Xiaomi Mi Wireless Charging Stand 2 | 50 W. | All Xiaomi smartphones with Qi | ~3 500 โฝ |
| Baseus 65W 3-in-1 | 15 W (per unit) | Smartphones + watches + headphones | ~5 000 โฝ |
| Anker PowerWave Pad | 10 Watts. | Budget option for old models | ~2 000 โฝ |
| Xiaomi Mi Air Charge 80W | 80 W (remote!) | Only Mi 11 Ultra (experimental) | ~12 000 โฝ |
Lifehack: If your smartphone supports 30+W but charges slowly, try turning off fast charging in settings (Settings โ Battery โ Charging settings). Paradoxically, sometimes it speeds up the process due to optimizing power consumption.

Common Problems and Their Solutions
Even with supported devices, users face difficulties when charging wirelessly, and here are the most common problems and ways to fix them:
- ๐ Device not charging: Check if the station is plugged in (the indicator should burn). Remove the case - thick or metallized cases block the signal. Reboot the smartphone (sometimes the charging drivers get knocked down).
- ๐ข Slow charging: Use a station with a power of at least 10 W. Do not use the device while charging (games, videos discharge the battery faster than it charges). Check the temperature - when overheating (>40ยฐC) power is automatically reduced.
- โก Overheating: Remove the device from the station to 10โ15 Do not put your smartphone on soft surfaces (plets, sofas) - this worsens the heat sink. 13/14 Pro) use active cooling stations (e.g. Baseus Cooling Pad).
If none of these methods worked, check the battery status. In the Xiaomi settings, there is a hidden section with battery data: go to Settings โ About phone, then tap the MIUI version 5 times. In the menu that opens, select Battery Status - if the capacity has dropped below 80%, the charging speed will be limited software.

For maximum wireless charging speed, use the original Xiaomi stations and remove cases thicker than 2 mm. Even a small gap between the coils can reduce power by 30-50%.
The Future of Wireless Charging in Xiaomi Devices
In 2026, Xiaomi continues to develop wireless charging technologies, and the company's patent databases have found developments on:
- ๐ฎ Remote charging at 100 W (up to 3 meters) for flagship smartphones.
- ๐ Two-way charging (at the same time charge the smartphone and give energy to the headphones).
- โ๏ธ Solar panels in cases for headphones (hybrid charging).
- ๐ Integration with electric vehicles (charging the phone from the instrument panel).
Already in the Xiaomi 15 Pro (expected in late 2026) can be wireless charging capacity of 100 watts, which is comparable to wired solutions, and the company is working on unification of standards: the new watch and headphones will receive support for Qi2, which will allow you to charge them from the same stations as smartphones.
Insiders say Xiaomi plans to completely abandon wired charging in the Mix line by 2026, betting on wireless and remote technologies. However, this applies only to flagships โ budget Redmi and POCO will be equipped with traditional connectors for a long time.
