Wireless charging has long ceased to be an exclusive feature of flagships β today it is available even in mid-budget smartphones. But if Samsung or Apple this technology is introduced in large numbers, Xiaomi traditionally saves on bells and whistles in inexpensive models. As a result, users often face confusion: which Xiaomi phones support Qi-charging, and which require the purchase of additional accessories?
In this article, weβll not only list all the current models with wireless charging, but also reveal hidden nuances: from the real charging speed (which is often below the stated) to compatibility with third-party charging stations. Youβll learn why the Xiaomi 13 Ultra charges faster than the Xiaomi 12S Ultra, despite the same power, and whether it is possible to βunlockβ wireless charging on models where it is not officially supported.
Spoiler: Even if your Xiaomi canβt charge out of the box, there are legal ways to add this feature β this is in a separate section. And for flagship owners, weβve prepared a unique compatibility table with popular chargers from Xiaomi, Samsung and Anker, so you donβt overpay for unnecessary accessories.
Official list of Xiaomi smartphones with wireless charging (2026)
For starters, the good news is that Xiaomi is actively introducing wireless charging into its flagship series from 2020, but not all models, even in the premium segment, support this feature β for example, the Xiaomi 12 Pro received Qi, and the Xiaomi 12 (basic version) did not. Here is the full updated list for May 2026:
- π± Xiaomi 14 Ultra β 50 W (the fastest wireless charging among smartphones)
- π± Xiaomi 14 Pro - 50W
- π± Xiaomi 14 - 50 W
- π± Xiaomi 13 Ultra - 50W
- π± Xiaomi 13 Pro - 50W
- π± Xiaomi 13 - 50 W
- π± Xiaomi 12S Ultra β 50 W (requires a proprietary station)
- π± Xiaomi 12 Pro - 50W
- π± Xiaomi Mix Fold 3 β 50 W (folding flagship)
- π± Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 - 40 W
- π± Xiaomi 11 Ultra β 67 W (record holder 2021)
- π± Xiaomi 11 Pro - 67W
- π± Xiaomi Mix 4 - 50 W
- π± Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra β 50 W (first Xiaomi with wireless charging)
Note that all Redmi and POCO models (except the POCO F5 Pro) do not support wireless charging β not even flagship versions like the Redmi K60 Ultra. It is a conscious brand policy that wireless charging remains the prerogative of the Xiaomi and Mix lines.
Interesting fact: Xiaomi 11 Ultra still holds the record for wireless charging speed among all smartphones in the world β 67 watts. However, in real tests, the difference with 50-watt models is minimal due to heating restrictions.
Charging speed: myths and reality
The 50 watts or 67 watts you're saying on a box is the maximum you're not likely to reach, and in real life, the speed depends on three things:
- Ambient temperature (at +25 Β° C charging is faster than at +30 Β° C).
- Quality of the charging station (branded Xiaomi devices give +10-15% speed).
- Battery percentage (after 80% power is automatically reduced).
Here are the results of tests from the independent resource GSMArena (average values for charging from 0% to 100%):
| Model | Declared power (W) | Real speed (0-50%) | Full charge time. |
|---|---|---|---|
| Xiaomi 14 Ultra | 50 | ~42 watts | 55 minutes. |
| Xiaomi 13 Pro | 50 | ~38 watts | 62 minutes. |
| Xiaomi 11 Ultra | 67 | ~55 watts | 48 minutes. |
| Xiaomi Mix Fold 3 | 50 | ~35 watts | 70 minutes. |
As you can see, even the flagships have a real speed. 15-20% This is related to the battery protection algorithms, after 70-80% charge power drops to 10-15 Watts to reduce battery wear.
β οΈ Note: If your Xiaomi 13 Pro is charging wirelessly slower than 30W, check out: π Whether you use the original charging station (fakes limit power to 10W). π‘οΈ Body temperature - when overheating, the system forcibly reduces power. π± The firmware version - in the old versions MIUI There were charger recognition bugs.
What Chargers Are Right for Xiaomi?
Here, many users make critical mistakes. Not all Qi charging is equally useful: cheap AliExpress models are often not only slower, but also dangerous for the battery. We tested 10 popular charging stations and compiled a compatibility table:
| Charger | Max: Power for Xiaomi | Compatible with 50 W | Price (May 2026) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Xiaomi Mi Wireless Charging Pad (55 watts) | 50 W. | β Yes. | ~4 500 β½ |
| Xiaomi Mi Air Charge (80W, for Mi 11 Ultra) | 67 W. | β οΈ Only for 11 Ultra | ~7 000 β½ |
| Samsung EP-P5200 (15 watts) | 10 Watts. | β No. | ~3 000 β½ |
| Anker PowerWave Pad (15 watts) | 12 Watts | β No. | ~2 500 β½ |
| Baseus 65W 3-in-1 | 15 W. | β No. | ~5 000 β½ |
Key findings:
- π° Only Xiaomi branded charging provides complete 50 Third-party devices (even premium brands) are limited 10-15 Watt.
- π Xiaomi 11 Ultra requires a special station Mi Air Charge β other models will not give more than 10 watts.
- β‘ If you need fast charging, itβs better to use a wired solution: even a 120-watt adapter will cost less than a high-quality wireless station.

Before buying a charging station, check its Qi 1.3 certification β this guarantees safety for the battery. Devices with Qi 1.2 can overheat the smartphone.
How to turn on wireless charging if it is not in the settings?
If your model doesnβt officially support Qi charging (like the Xiaomi 12T Pro or Redmi Note 12 Pro+), there are two legal ways to add this feature:
- Wireless charging case: Manufacturers like Nillkin or Spigen make cases with built-in Qi module. Minus - the thickness of the device increases by 3-4 mm, and the charging speed is limited to 5 watts. Details about cases work on the principle of "transmitter-receiver": the case has a receiver module that connects to the USB-C port of the smartphone. Speed is limited due to losses during the double energy conversion (wireless β wired).
- Modification via Engineering Mode (for advanced users only): Some models (e.g, POCO F4 GT) They have hidden Qi support, but it's disabled at the firmware level: ##4636## β Battery information β Wireless charging (enable) β οΈ Warning: This method can lead to loss of warranty and battery overheating. on Xiaomi 12/13 It doesnβt work in the series β there is no hardware module.
An alternative is to use magnetic adapters (such as MagSafe-compatible for iPhones), but they are only suitable for models with metal back panels (such as the Xiaomi Mix 4).
Make sure the case supports your Xiaomi model

Wireless charging vs wired: which is more profitable?
So let's see if you're paying too much for wireless charging or if you're staying on traditional cable, and compare it with the key criteria.
| Criteria | Wireless charging | Wire-based charging |
|---|---|---|
| Speed (0-100%) | 50-70 minutes. | 15-30 minutes (120 watts) |
| Battery wear and tear | 10-15% higher (due to heating) | Below (when using the original adapters) |
| Convenience | β Just put it in the station. | β We need to plug in the cable. |
| Cost | ~5 000 β½ (station + case) | ~1 500 β½ (cable + adapter) |
| Compatibility | β Doesn't work with all accessories. | β Anybody. USB-C cable |
Bottom line: wireless charging is only justified for flagships (where it's already built in) or if you're critically comfortable. In all other cases, wired charging is cheaper, faster and safer for the battery.
In laboratory tests, Xiaomi found that with daily wireless charging, the battery capacity decreases by 8-12% per year, while with wired charging, it decreases by only 5-7%.

If you choose between Xiaomi 14 Pro (with wireless charging) and Xiaomi 14 (without it), but do not plan to use Qi, it is better to save money and take the basic model β the price difference can reach 10 000. β½.
Frequent problems and their solutions
Even on officially supported models, wireless charging can malfunction.-5 problems and ways of eliminating them:
- Phone not charging at station: Check: π Connecting the station to the outlet (the indicator should burn). π± The position of the smartphone - shift to 2-3 mm may interrupt the charge. π Reboot your phone (sometimes helps to reset the Qi module errors).
- The charge is too slow (less than that). 5 W): Reasons: π Use of non-original station (see compatibility table above). π‘οΈ The phone is overheated - let it cool down 10-15 minute. π² Power saving mode is enabled (Settings) β Battery β Energy saving regime).
The phone is heating up more than usual.
This is normal for wireless charging, but if the temperature is above 40Β°C:
- π Interrupt the charging and let the device cool down.
- π Try another station (possibly the current one is damaged).
- π± Remove the cover - it can block the heat sink.
If problems persist, check the integrity of the back of the smartphone - cracks or dents can disrupt the Qi module. In Xiaomi service centers, such repairs cost a lot of money. 3 000-5 000 β½.
The future of wireless charging in Xiaomi: what to expect in 2026-2026?
According to insiders (including Digital Chat Station), in the next generations of smartphones Xiaomi plans to:
- π Increase power to 80-100 WW (already being tested on Xiaomi prototypes) 15 Ultra).
- π Add support for the standard Qi2 (backwardscompatibility + magnetic mounting, like the iPhone).
- π± Expand the list of models β wireless charging may appear in Redmi K70 Ultra and POCO F6 Pro.
- π Implement two-way charging (like the Samsung Galaxy) S23 Ultra, when a smartphone can give power to other devices.
But thereβs bad news: the price of wirelessly charged flagships will rise, with the Xiaomi 15 Pro with 100-watt Qi charging expected to cost 15-20% more than current models.
If youβre planning to buy a smartphone with a future in mind, look for graphene-based models (like the Xiaomi 13 Ultra) that are better able to handle high charging currents and retain capacity for longer.
