Wireless charging has long ceased to be an exclusive feature of flagship smartphones β today it is available even in mid-budget devices. Xiaomi, as one of the market leaders, is actively introducing this technology in its models, but not all phones of the brand support the Qi standard. If you are looking for a smartphone with wireless charging, it is important to know which lines and modifications of the Mi, Redmi or POCO are equipped with this feature.
In this article, weβve compiled a 2026 list of all Xiaomi smartphones with wireless charging, including flagships, subflagships and even budget options. Youβll learn not only the names of models, but also their key characteristics: charging power, compatibility with accessories, and nuances to consider when choosing: for example, why the Xiaomi 13 Ultra charges faster than the Redmi K60 Pro, or which models require the purchase of a separate charging station.
We will focus on compatibility issues: whether Samsung charging is right for Xiaomi, whether wireless powerbank can be used, and how to avoid overheating during charging. If you are planning to purchase or already own a Xiaomi device, this information will help optimize the charging process and extend the battery life.
Why not all Xiaomi smartphones support wireless charging?
At first glance, it may seem that Xiaomi is artificially restricting the functionality of its devices, excluding wireless charging from budget models, in fact, it is due to technical and economic factors:
- π Cost of components: Wireless charging module increases the cost of a smartphone by 15-25$. For budget lines (Redmi Note, POCO M) is a significant premium that affects the final price.
- π Coil for Qi charging requires additional space, and in thin devices (for example, Xiaomi 13 Lite), it is difficult to place without compromising the design.
- β‘ Power and heating: Wireless charging is less efficient than wired charging β up to 30% of the energy is lost as heat.
- π Xiaomi focuses on wired ultra-fast charging (up to 240 watts in the Redmi Note 12 Discovery), considering it more practical for most users.
Interestingly, even among the flagships, there are exceptions: for example, the Xiaomi 12S Ultra supported wireless charging, while its successor, the Xiaomi 13 Ultra, did not (in some regions), due to regional features of the supply: in China and Europe, the equipment may differ.
Xiaomi flagship models with wireless charging
Xiaomi flagships are traditionally equipped with the most advanced technologies, and wireless charging is no exception, but not all top models support this feature β it all depends on the series and year of release. Below are the current flagships of 2022-2026 with Qi-charging:
| Model | Year of release | Wireless charging power | Reverse Charging (Reverse) | Features |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Xiaomi 14 Pro | 2023 | 50 W. | 10 Watts. | Support for Qi2 (magnetic mounting), compatibility with Apple MagSafe |
| Xiaomi 13 Pro | 2022 | 50 W. | 10 Watts. | Requires Xiaomi 50W Wireless Charger for maximum speed |
| Xiaomi 12 Pro | 2021 | 50 W. | 10 Watts. | The first model with support for dual wireless charging (you can charge your smartphone and headphones at the same time) |
| Xiaomi MIX 4 | 2021 | 50 W. | 10 Watts. | Support for charging in a horizontal position (comfortable for playing games or watching videos) |
Important: Xiaomi 13 Ultra (2023) in the global version does not support wireless charging, despite the fact that the Chinese version is equipped with this feature, this is due to optimization for different markets β in Europe and the United States, wired charging is given priority to 90 watts.
All of these models are compatible with standard Qi charging, but to achieve maximum power (50 watts) will require a branded device from Xiaomi. For example, charging from Samsung or Apple will work, but the speed will not exceed 10-15 watts.

If you use a case that is more than 3 mm thick, remove it before wireless charging β this will increase efficiency by 20-30%.
Subflagships and mid-budget smartphones with Qi-charging
If Xiaomiβs wireless-charging flagships are not surprising, these models are less common in the sub-flagship and mid-budget segments, however, the brand is gradually expanding its lineup.
- π± Xiaomi 13T Pro (2023) β 50 watts, 10 watts reverse charge. differs from the flagship 13 Pro only by processor (Dimensity 8200 Ultra instead of Snapdragon 8 Gen 2).
- π± Redmi K60 Pro (2023) β 30W, 10W reverse charge β One of the few Redmi models with wireless charging, but requires the station to be purchased separately.
- π± POCO F5 Pro (2023) β 30 watts, actually rebranded Redmi K60, but without recharging.
- π± Xiaomi 12T Pro (2022) - 50 watts analogue of Redmi K50 Ultra for the global market, with support Qi2.
The main difference between subflagships and flagships is reduced charging power (30 W instead of 50 W) and the absence of some βchipsβ, such as magnetic mounting. However, for most users, the difference in speed will be small: full charging takes about 1.5-2 hours versus 1-1.2 hours for top models.
It's worth noting that in the POCO line, wireless charging is extremely rare. So far, the only representative is the POCO F5 Pro, and there are no guarantees that the feature will appear in future models. If Qi charging is fundamental for you, you should pay attention to the Redmi K or Xiaomi T series.
Why does the Redmi Note 12 Pro+ not support wireless charging?
Xiaomi budget smartphones with wireless charging: myth or reality?
In the low-end segment (Redmi Note, POCO M, Redmi A), wireless charging is still rare, with the only exception being the Redmi Note 11 Pro+ 5G (2022), but there are nuances here too:
- β‘ Charging power - only 10 W (versus 67 W wired).
- π You need to purchase a charging station separately (only a wired adapter is included in the package).
- β³ Full charging takes ~3 hours β longer than most of the competitors with wired charging.
Why are there so few budget models with Qi? Itβs about the priorities of the target audience. Buyers of devices for 15-25,000 rubles are more likely to value long-term autonomy (large batteries 5000-6000 mAh) and fast wired charging (33-67 watts) than the convenience of wireless.
If you are in principle wireless charging in the budget segment, consider alternatives:
- π Adapters with a Qi receiver (for example, Nillkin Magic Tag) that are attached to the connector USB-C And allow you to charge any smartphone wirelessly. The cost is from 500 rubles.
- π± Previous flagships (for example, Xiaomi 11 Lite) 5G NE 33-W wireless charging).
π‘
In the budget segment, wireless charging does not justify its cost yet - it is better to choose a model with a powerful wired charging (67+ W) and buy a Qi adapter if necessary.
How to check if your Xiaomi supports wireless charging?
If you already own a Xiaomi smartphone and arenβt sure if it has a Qi module, there are a few ways to check it out:
- Official Features: Go to mi.com, find your model, and check the Battery & Charging section. Look for Wireless charging or Qi standard mentions.
- Settings of the smartphone: Settings β About the phone β All characteristics β Battery Here should be the line Wireless charging with power indication.
- Visual inspection: Some models (such as the Xiaomi 13 Pro) have a metal ring on the back, which is the coil of wireless charging.
- Practical test: Try putting your smartphone on any Qi charge. If charging starts, the function is supported (even if it is slow).
If your model doesn't support wireless charging, but you want to add it, you might consider installing a module in a service center, which costs between 3,000 and 8,000 rubles, depending on the model.

Compatibility with chargers: what do you need to know?
Having wireless charging in a smartphone is not enough, but it's important to get the charger right. Here are the key points:
- π Power: 50W models (e.g. Xiaomi 14 Pro) require a Xiaomi proprietary station 50W Chargers from other brands (even with a stated power of 50 watts) are often limited to 10-15 watts.
- π§² Standard Qi2 New models (Xiaomi 14 Pro) support Qi2 Magnetic fastener (like the iPhone 15) old Qi chargers will work, but without fixing.
- π Reverse charging: Reverse charging only works with supported accessories, such as Xiaomi Mi True Wireless Earphones or Apple AirPods (with Qi case).
- π Car Charging: Most wireless car holders only support 5β7.5 watts. For fast charging, look for models marked Fast Wireless Car Charger.
Important: not all powerbank with wireless charging is compatible with Xiaomi. for example, Xiaomi Mi Power Bank 3 10000mAh supports power output up to 10 watts, and Baseus 65W Wireless Power Bank up to 15 watts. For flagships with 50-W charging, such accessories are not suitable.

If your charging suddenly stopped working, try resetting the network settings: Settings β System β Settings Reset β Resetting Wi-Fi, mobile network and Bluetooth settings. Sometimes this helps with failures in the NFC module, which is also used for wireless charging.
Also, pay attention to the position of the smartphone on the charger. For maximum efficiency:
- π± Combine the center of the back of the phone with the center of the charging pad.
- π Avoid metal covers or magnet covers (they block the signal).
- π‘οΈ Do not use wireless charging at temperatures below 0Β°C or higher than 40Β°C - This can damage the battery.
Frequent problems and their solutions
Wireless charging, while convenient, can be a problem, and here are the most common problems and ways to fix them:
β οΈ Warning: If the smartphone gets very hot during wireless charging (more than 45)Β°C, stop the process immediately! Overheating can cause the battery to bloat or the protection to go off, after which the phone will refuse to charge at all.
| Problem. | Possible cause | Decision |
|---|---|---|
| Charging doesn't start. | Incompatible station, case, software failure | Try another charger, remove the case, reboot the phone |
| Slow charging (1β2 W) | Incorrect position, weak power adapter | Check the alignment, use an 18W+ adapter |
| The phone vibrates or makes sounds. | Foreign object between phone and charging | Clean the surfaces, check the cover. |
| Charging is interrupted | Overheating, protection activation | Let the phone cool, charge in a cool place |
If none of these methods helped, check the battery status in the menu:
Settings β Battery β Battery conditionIf capacity has fallen below 80%, it may need to be replaced, and Xiaomi service centers cost between 2 and 5 thousand rubles depending on the model.
β οΈ Note: Using uncertified chargers (especially with AliExpress) can damage the power controller, in which case the repair will cost 30-50% of the cost of the phone.
