Introduction: Why wireless charging is important for Xiaomi
Wireless charging Qi has long ceased to be an exclusive feature of flagship smartphones — today it is supported even by some budget models. However, Xiaomi’s situation is ambiguous: the brand actively implements the technology in the premium series Mi and Mix, but often ignores it in the line of Redmi and POCO. This creates confusion: how to know whether your model supports wireless charging, and at what speed?
In this article, we’ve compiled a current list of all Xiaomi Qi-enabled smartphones (as of 2026), analyzed the nuances of compatibility with charging stations of different brands, and explained why some Redmi models lack this feature despite powerful processors, and you’ll learn how to check the support for wireless charging on your device and which accessories to choose for maximum speed.
Spoiler: If you’re looking for a budget smartphone with Qi, prepare for disappointment – Xiaomi has drastically reduced the number of supported models after 2022, focusing on flagships and devices for the premium segment.
Official list of Xiaomi smartphones with wireless charging
Below is a complete list of models that support the Qi standard out of the box. We have divided them into series for ease of search. Please note: some devices require additional purchase of a rear cover with a reel (for example, Xiaomi 12 Pro in the Chinese version).
- 📱 Series Mi: Mi 9 Pro 5G, Mi 10, Mi 10 Pro, Mi 10 Ultra, Mi 10S, Mi 11, Mi 11 Pro, Mi 11 Ultra
- 📱 Mix series: Mix 4, Mix Fold, Mix Fold 2, Mix Fold 3
- 📱 Series 12/13/14: Xiaomi 12 (only version with back cover for Qi, Xiaomi 12 Pro, Xiaomi 13, Xiaomi 13 Pro, Xiaomi 13 Ultra, Xiaomi 14, Xiaomi 14 Pro, Xiaomi 14 Ultra
- 🚫 Exceptions: Redmi and POCO — None of these models supports wireless charging as of 2026.
Important: Even if your model is on the list, the maximum charging speed may vary. For example, the Mi 10 Ultra supports 50 watts over wire and 30 watts wirelessly, and the Xiaomi 13 Pro supports 50 watts and 50 watts respectively.
Wireless charging speeds: model comparison
Not all Xiaomi smartphones with Qi charge the same fast, the manufacturer divides the devices into three categories by speed:
- Up to 10W: Mi 9 Pro 5G, Mi 10, Mi 10 Pro (standard charging).
- 10–30 W: Mi 10 Ultra (30 W), Mi 11 Ultra (20 W), Xiaomi 12 Pro (20 W).
- Over 30 watts: Xiaomi 13 Pro (50 W), Xiaomi 14 Ultra (80 W – a record among smartphones).
To achieve the stated speeds, you need an original Xiaomi charging station or a certified model from third-party brands (such as Anker or Baseus). Using cheap contactless charging can limit power to 5-7 watts.
| Model | Max. speed (wire) | Max. speed (Qi) | Does an additional cover need to be provided? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Xiaomi 14 Ultra | 90 W. | 80 W. | No. |
| Xiaomi 13 Pro | 120 W. | 50 W. | No. |
| Mi 11 Ultra | 67 W. | 20 W. | No. |
| Xiaomi 12 Pro | 120 W. | 20 W. | Yes (for the Chinese version) |
| Mi 10 Ultra | 120 W. | 30 Watts. | No. |
⚠️ Note: Xiaomi 12 and Xiaomi 12 Pro models in the global version (sold in Europe and Russia) do not support wireless charging without buying a special rear cover with a reel.
💡
Wireless charging speeds are not only smartphone-dependent, but also charger-dependent, and 30+W models require expensive active-cooled docking stations.
Why Redmi and POCO don’t support Qi: Xiaomi’s explanation
Users often ask why even the flagship models of the Redmi K60 Ultra or POCO F6 Pro are deprived of wireless charging, although the characteristics are not inferior to the Xiaomi 13?
- Price policy: adding the Qi coil increases the cost by 15-20%, which contradicts the concept of budget lines.
- Heat generation: Redmi and POCO often use plastic enclosures that are worse at removing heat when wirelessly charging.
- Primary Wireless Charging: Xiaomi is betting on ultra-fast wired charging (up to 210 watts in the Redmi Note 13 Pro+), considering it more reliable.
It is also informally mentioned that Xiaomi segments functions by brand: Qi remains the prerogative of premium Xiaomi and Mix, and Redmi/POCO receive other "chips" (for example, an IR port or 3.5-mm).

How to check wireless charging support on your Xiaomi
If you’re not sure if your model supports Qi, there are a few ways to find out:
- Box check: Look for the Qi logo or the words "Wireless Charging" on the packaging or documentation.

Update your firmware to the latest version (sometimes support is added in updates)-->
What charging stations to choose for Xiaomi: a review of compatible models
Even if your smartphone supports Qi, the charging speed depends on the station. Xiaomi produces its own accessories, but they are not always optimal.
- 🔌 For speeds up to 10W: any station with a Qi certificate (e.g. Xiaomi Wireless Charging Pad or Samsung) EP-PG920).
- ⚡ For 20-30 watts: Xiaomi 30W Wireless Charging Stand (supports vertical charging) or Baseus 30W.
- 🔥 For 50.+ W: only original stations from Xiaomi (e.g. Xiaomi) 80W Wireless Charging Stand for 14 Ultra, starting at 8,000 ₽.
- 🚗 For the car: Xiaomi Car Wireless Charger (10W) or magnetic holders with Qi (for example, Spigen Mag Fit).
Importantly, cheap stations without certification can damage the battery due to unstable voltage, especially for high-power smartphones (such as the Xiaomi 13 Pro).
Tip: if you use a case, make sure that its thickness does not exceed 3 mm - otherwise the charging efficiency will fall by 30-50%.
💡
For maximum charging speed, place your smartphone in the center of the station, and even a slight shift can reduce power from 30 watts to 10 watts.
