Wireless charging has long ceased to be an exclusive feature of flagship smartphones, but Xiaomi still equips it not all models. If you are looking for a phone of this brand with support for Qi-standard, it is important to know: even among the premium lines of Mi and Redmi, not all devices can boast of this option. In 2026, the situation has changed โ the manufacturer began to actively introduce the technology in the middle segment, but with reservations.
In this article, we will not only list all Xiaomi wireless charging, but also analyze the nuances: charging speed (10 to 50 watts), compatibility with charging stations, hidden limitations (for example, the lack of recharging in some models), and also answer the question of why POCO and Redmi Note still do without this feature โ despite the requests of users.
Spoiler: If you want the fastest wireless charging among Xiaomi smartphones (50W), it is supported only by the flagship Mi 13 Ultra and Mi 14 Pro โ but there are pitfalls with accessory compatibility.
Why not all Xiaomi smartphones support wireless charging
At first glance, it seems that Xiaomi artificially limits the function to separate segments, which is partly true, but there are technical reasons:
- ๐ Body thickness: Efficient power transfer requires a minimum distance between the phone coils and the charging station. Budget models (Redmi 12, POCO X5) often thinner than 8 mm, which complicates the integration of the module.
- ๐ฐ The wireless charging coil, controller and cooling system increase the cost by 15-20% in the segment to 20 000 โฝ It's critical.
- โก The priority of fast wired charging. Xiaomi traditionally bets on wired solutions (120W, 200W), They are more reliable for everyday use.
Interesting fact: in 2020, the Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra became the first smartphone with a wireless charging of 50 watts โ but even this model was not widely adopted due to the high price. Today, the technology is โtweetedโ by the Mi 13/14 series, but in Redmi and POCO it never appeared.
โ ๏ธ Attention: Wireless charging reduces battery life 10-15% faster than wired charging because of increased heat. If you plan to use it daily, choose models with a battery. โฅ4500 mAh (e.g. Mi 13 Pro or Mi 14).
Xiaomi flagships with wireless charging: a comparison of speed and features
If you want speed and reliability, look at the Mi and Mix flagships, where Xiaomi doesn't skimp on technology, but it also has the right prices.
| Model | Max. speed (Watt) | Reverse charging | Battery capacity (mAh) | Features |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Xiaomi 14 Pro | 50 | 10 Watts. | 4880 | Qi2 support, compatibility with MagSafe accessories |
| Xiaomi 13 Ultra | 50 | 10 Watts. | 5000 | The largest battery among flagships with wireless charging |
| Xiaomi 12S Ultra | 50 | 10 Watts. | 4860 | Requires Xiaomi 50W Wireless Charger station |
| Xiaomi Mix Fold 3 | 30 | No. | 4800 | The only foldable smartphone Xiaomi with Qi-charging |
An important nuance: to achieve the declared 50 watts requires an original charging station from Xiaomi (for example, the model MDY-13-EM). With universal Qi panels, the speed will drop to 10-15 watts. Also note that the Mix Fold 3 does not support reverse charging - this limitation is due to the design of the folding case.

Before buying, check the compatibility of the charging station with your model. For example, the Mi 14 Pro works with MagSafe accessories, but only at speeds up to 7.5 watts.
Mid-segment: what Xiaomi models will get wireless charging in 2026
Until recently, wireless charging was the preserve of flagships, but in 2023-2026, Xiaomi began to introduce it in the mid-range segment.
- ๐ Xiaomi Civi 3 is the first model of the Civi series with support for 30 W. However, charging works only with a proprietary station, and there is no reverse charging.
- ๐ฑ Xiaomi 13T Pro is a lightweight flagship with 12 watts (versus 50 watts in older models), suitable for those who are willing to sacrifice speed for the price.
- ๐ก Xiaomi Pad 6S Pro is the brandโs only tablet with wireless charging (33W), but requires a special cooling station.
The main problem of the mid-range is the lack of versatility. For example, the Civi 3 will not charge from a standard Qi panel at 5 watts: the minimum threshold for this model is 10 watts. While the 13T Pro supports โnormalโ charging, the speed is limited to 7.5 watts.
โ ๏ธ Note: In the mid-segment models (Civi 3, 13T Pro) wireless charging shall be switched off at temperatures above 40ยฐC. This is overheating protection, but in the summer, the phone may fail to charge.

Redmi and POCO: Why these series do without wireless charging
Fans of the budget lines Redmi and POCO have long wondered why even top-end models like the Redmi K60 Ultra or POCO F5 Pro donโt get wireless charging?
- Market segmentation: Redmi/POCO is marketed as price-performance, and wireless charging is associated with premium, and to include it in public sector is to blur the lines between series.
- Other features are more important in the budget segment than 120Hz display, fast wired charging (67W-120W) or a powerful processor than the luxury of Qi.
- Technical limitations: Redmi cases are often made of polycarbonate, which is worse at transmitting magnetic fields than glass or metal.
There are exceptions: for example, the Redmi K50 Gaming has received support for magnetic charging (analogue MagSafe), but only for accessories, not for power.

How to Check if Your Xiaomi Supports Wireless Charging
If you already own a Xiaomi smartphone and arenโt sure if the feature is there, there are a few ways to find out:
- Search for your model in the mi.com directory and check the "Specifications" section โ "Battery." Look for Wireless charging or Qi.
- Phone settings. Go to Settings โ About Phone โ All specs. The Battery block should have the line "Wireless Charging."
- Qi test. Put your phone on the charging station. If you get a charging indicator (lightning or percentage), the function is supported. Importantly, some models (for example, the Mi 11 Lite) can show the indicator, but charging at 1-2 watts is not full support!
If your model doesnโt support wireless charging, but you really need this feature, consider the options:
- ๐ Adapters. There are stickers with a Qi receiver (like the Nillkin Magic Tag) that are attached to the back and plugged into the back. USB-C. Disadvantage: the thickness of the phone will increase by 2-3 mm.
- ๐ Battery cases: Some models (e.g. Xiaomi Power Bank Case) support wireless charging for the phone, but charge themselves over the wire.
๐ก
The only reliable way to test wireless charging support is through official specifications, and tests with universal Qi panels can give false positives due to partial compatibility.
Accessory Compatibility: Which Charging Stations Are Right for Xiaomi
Even if your Xiaomi supports wireless charging, its speed and stability depend on the charging station.
| Xiaomi model | Recommended station | Max. speed (Watt) | Price (โ) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mi 14 Pro, 13 Ultra | Xiaomi 50W Wireless Charger (MDY-13-EM) | 50 | 6 000 โฝ |
| Mi 13, 12S Pro | Xiaomi 30W Wireless Charger (MDY-12-EU) | 30 | 3 500 โฝ |
| Civi 3, 13T Pro | Xiaomi 20W Wireless Charger (MDY-11-EZ) | 20 | 2 200 โฝ |
| Any model with a Qi | Universal station (for example, Anker PowerWave) | 7.5โ10 | 1 500 โฝ |
Key points:
- ๐ For models with 50 watts (Mi 14 Pro, 13 Ultra) are suitable only branded stations Xiaomi. Universal Qi panels will limit the speed to 10 watts.
- ๐ Reverse charging (for example, for AirPods or watches) only works at speeds up to 5โ10 watts, even if the main charge is faster.
- ๐ฅ Stations without a fan (for example, Xiaomi Mi Wireless Charging Pad) can overheat with prolonged use.
โ ๏ธ Note: Some charging stations (e.g. Samsung) EP-PG950) Compatible with Xiaomi, but require a power adapter 25W+. If you use a power supply of 10 W, the charging speed will drop 2-3 times.
The future of wireless charging in Xiaomi smartphones: what to expect in 2026
According to insiders, in 2026 Xiaomi plans to expand the list of models with wireless charging, but with a focus on new technologies:
- ๐ฎ Qi2-All flagships (Mi 15 Series) will receive support for Magnetic Power Profile, which will allow you to use MagSafe accessories at full speed (up to 15 W).
- โก 100W Xiaomi labs are already testing prototypes with ultra-fast charging, but production models wonโt arrive until 2026.
- ๐ฑ Redmi with Qi. Maybe Redmi. K70 Pro will be the first budget model with wireless charging (15-20 watts), but official confirmation is not yet available.
Xiaomi is also expected to start outfitting flagships with wireless charging stations, similar to Samsung and Apple, and even the Mi 14 Pro is now sold without charging in a box, which is causing users to displeasure.
