Wireless charging has become an integral part of modern smartphones, offering convenience and wear protection. Xiaomi, as one of the market leaders, is actively implementing this technology in its devices β but not all models are equipped with it out of the box. In this article, we will analyze which Xiaomi, Redmi and POCO phones support wireless charging, what standards they use, and what to look for when choosing a charger.
Itβs important to understand that even among Xiaomi flagships, not all models have a built-in Qi charging coil. For example, some Mi and Redmi series devices require additional accessories, while top-end models like the Xiaomi 14 Ultra support it out of the box with high power. Weβll also show you how to check your phoneβs compatibility and avoid common mistakes when buying wireless charging.
What wireless charging standards does Xiaomi use?
Most of Xiaomiβs wireless charging-enabled smartphones are Qi (pronounced βchiβ), developed by the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC), which is compatible with most chargers on the market, but there are some nuances:
- π Basic charging (5-10W): Supported by all models with Qi, but speed is limited.For example, Xiaomi Mi 9 charges 20W with only a proprietary station.
- β‘ Fast charging (15β50W): Available only in flagships (e.g. Xiaomi 13 Pro supports 50W). Requires a special charger.
- π Reverse Wireless Charging: Allows you to charge other devices (like Xiaomi AirDots headphones) from your phone. Available in Mi 10 Pro, Mi 11 Ultra and newer.
Some Redmi and POCO models only support Qi with an extra case or adapter. For example, the POCO F5 Pro has an integrated coil, while the Redmi Note 12 Pro+ does not. Xiaomi has experimented with Mi Air Charge technology, but it has not yet entered production devices.
