Wireless charging to the standard Qi has become an integral part of premium smartphones, but even in the line of Xiaomi, its support is unevenly distributed. If you are planning to buy a new device or want to upgrade the current gadget, it is important to know exactly which models Xiaomi, Redmi and POCO are equipped with this feature. Unlike competitors like Samsung or Apple, where Qi charging is found in almost all flagships, Xiaomi often remains the prerogative of the top series – but there are some nice exceptions.
In this article, we will not only list all the current models with support for Qi, but also reveal the nuances: charging speeds can vary by 2-3 times even when using the same charger. For example, the Xiaomi 13 Ultra charges at 50 watts, and the Xiaomi 12S only at 30 watts, although both support the standard. You will also learn how to check the compatibility of your phone, which adapters to choose and why some models with “Qi support” in practice are unstable.
What is Qi Charging and How Does It Work in Xiaomi Smartphones
The Qi standard (pronounced "chi") is a wireless power transmission protocol developed by the Wireless Power Consortium. In Xiaomi smartphones, it is implemented through an induction coil built into the back of the device. When the phone is placed on a charging station, an electromagnetic field is created that converts energy into electric current for the battery.
It is important to understand that not all Xiaomi models with Qi support high charging speeds.
- 🔋 Xiaomi 13 Pro and 13 Ultra: up to 50 W (requires a branded station Xiaomi) 50W Wireless Charger).
- 🔋 Xiaomi 12S Ultra and Mix 4: Up to 30W.
- 🔋 Xiaomi 11 Ultra and Mi 10 Ultra: up to 20-27 W (depending on firmware).
- ⚠️ Redmi K50 Ultra and POCO F5 Pro: only 10-15 watts (despite marketing claims).
The key point is that speed is not just a phone-dependent charger, but a charger. If you use a cheap 5W station, even the Xiaomi 13 Ultra will charge slowly. Xiaomi's official adapters are usually optimized for maximum power, but cost more than universal ones.
Official list of Xiaomi smartphones with support for Qi-charging (2026)
Below is an up-to-date table of Xiaomi, Redmi and POCO models that support Qi. Data confirmed by official specifications and user tests. Note: some models (such as the POCO F4 GT) have reverse wireless charging (you can charge other devices), but do not support power reception over Qi.
| Model | Max. power Qi (W) | Reverse charging | Year of release | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Xiaomi 14 Ultra | 80 | Yes (10 watts) | 2026 | It requires a Xiaomi 80W Wireless Charger. |
| Xiaomi 13 Ultra | 50 | Yes (10 watts) | 2023 | Supports charging in a horizontal position. |
| Xiaomi 13 Pro | 50 | Yes (10 watts) | 2022 | Compatible with Samsung and Apple charging at 15 watts. |
| Xiaomi 12S Ultra | 30 | Yes (10 watts) | 2022 | Sensitive to the position at the charging station. |
| Xiaomi Mix 4 | 30 | No. | 2021 | Qi support is added after the firmware update. |
| Xiaomi 11 Ultra | 27 | Yes (10 watts) | 2021 | Max. power is achieved only with original charging. |
| Redmi K60 Ultra | 30 | No. | 2023 | The first Redmi with Qi support. |
| POCO F5 Pro | 15 | No. | 2023 | Qi only supports the global version. |
⚠️ Note: The table shows the maximum power values that are achieved only under ideal conditions: the original charging station, the correct position of the phone, the absence of metal covers%.
💡
Xiaomi’s Qi-enabled smartphones fall into two groups: flagships (30–80W) and sub-flagships (10–15W).
How to Check if Your Xiaomi Supports Wireless Charging
If you’re not sure if your phone has Qi, there are a few ways to check it out:
- Official specs: Go to mi.com, find your model, and check the Battery section. Look for Wireless Charging or Qi.
- Phone settings: Go to Settings → About Phone → All specs. Some models (e.g. Xiaomi 13 Pro) have Wireless Charging: Yes.
- Practical test: Try putting your phone on any Qi charge (even 5W). If the charging icon appears, there is support. If not, check the position of the phone or try another station.
- Diagnostic apps: Utilities like AIDA64 or CPU-Z show supported charging standards. Look for Wireless charging.
🔍 Some models, for example, POCO X5 Pros have a built-in coil, but it's software-disabled, and in this case, only flashing it to custom firmware (like LineageOS) will help, but this makes it impossible to guarantee it.
Check the back cover for metal ring (coil)| Check the specifications on the official website | Use the diagnostic application (AIDA64) | Test on any Qi charge (even weak) | Make sure the case does not block the signal-->
Why Qi Charging May Not Work on Xiaomi Supported Models
Even if your smartphone officially supports Qi, you may run into problems, and here are the most common reasons and ways to fix them:
- 🔌 Non-original charging station: Cheap adapters often don't provide enough power.Solution: Use certified devices (e.g. Xiaomi Mi Wireless Charging Pad or Anker PowerWave).
- 📱 Phone incorrect position: The coil in the phone must match the coil in charging.Solution: try to shift the phone or use a magnetically mounted station (e.g. MagSafe-compatible).
- 🛡️ Metal elements in the case: Cases with magnets or metal inserts block the signal.Solution: remove the case or use a thin silicone.
- 🔄 Software Restrictions: In some firmware (especially Redmi), Qi is disabled by default. Solution: Update the software or activate the feature in Settings → Battery → Wireless charging.
- 🔋 Overheating: At temperatures above 40°C charging automatically turns off. Solution: let the phone cool down or use a vent station.
⚠️ Note: If your Xiaomi suddenly stopped charging on Qi, check if the coil has damaged (for example, after a fall).In this case, repairs will cost 30-50% of the cost of the phone, so it is often cheaper to buy a new model.
What if the Qi charging is running, but very slowly?
Which Qi Chargers Are Best for Xiaomi
Not all Qi charging is equally efficient. For Xiaomi smartphones, it’s important to choose an adapter that supports your model’s maximum power.
| Charging model | Max. power (Watt) | Compatibility | Price (roughly) | Pluses | Cons |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Xiaomi 80W Wireless Charger | 80 | Xiaomi 14 Ultra | ~6 000 ₽ | Highest speed, cooling fan | Honey, bulky. |
| Xiaomi 50W Wireless Charger | 50 | Xiaomi 13 Pro/Ultra, 12S Ultra | ~4 500 ₽ | Compact, supports vertical charging | Heated with prolonged use |
| Anker PowerWave Pad | 15 | All models with Qi | ~2 500 ₽ | Universal, inexpensive. | Low power for flagships |
| Baseus Wireless Charger | 20 | Xiaomi 11 Ultra, Mix 4 | ~3 000 ₽ | Thin, supports charging through a case up to 3 mm | No ventilation. |
💡 Tip: If you travel frequently, choose multi-device charging stations (e.g. Xiaomi Dual Wireless Charger) that allow you to charge your phone and headphones at the same time, saving you space in your luggage.
💡
Before buying a charger, check whether it supports Quick Charge or Power Delivery.These protocols speed up charging even on Qi-restricted models (for example, the POCO F5 Pro can get +2-3 watts).
The future of Qi charging in Xiaomi: what to expect in 2026-2026
In 2026, Xiaomi continues to develop wireless charging technologies, according to insiders, the next flagships (Xiaomi 15 and Mix 5) are expected to have the following innovations:
- ⚡ 100–120W: New models can break the 80W barrier, approaching wired charging speed.
- 🔄 Bilateral charging: The ability to charge your phone and give power to other devices (such as a smartwatch) at the same time without losing speed.
- 📶 Remote charging: Mi Air Charge technology (announced in 2021) can finally get out of the prototype stage, allowing devices to be charged up to 1 meter away without contact with the station.
- 🔋 Adaptive cooling: Built-in fans or liquid cooling to prevent overheating at high power.
But there are risks: As power increases, battery loads increase, which could shorten battery life, and Xiaomi engineers say the new models will use graphene batteries that withstand heat and charge cycles better than lithium polymers.
