Wireless charging has long ceased to be an exclusive feature of flagships — it is now available even in some mid-budget smartphones. But if we talk about Xiaomi, the situation is ambiguous: the brand is actively introducing technology in new models, then suddenly releases flagships without it. Why does this happen? It is about the balance between price, thickness and demand for the feature. For example, wireless charging increases the cost of the phone by 5-15%, and for many users it remains a tick feature.
In this article, we will not only list all Xiaomi that supports the Qi standard, but also analyze the nuances: what charging speed is really available, which models require additional accessories, and why some phones with “support” actually charge 2-3 times slower than stated, and you will also learn how to check the compatibility of your device and what to do if wireless charging suddenly stopped working.
Spoiler: If you're looking for Xiaomi with the fastest wireless charging in 2026, it's Xiaomi 14 Ultra with 80W support - but only with a proprietary station. POCO You will have to be content with a modest 5-10 watts or buy adapters separately.
1. Complete list of Xiaomi phones with wireless charging (2026)
For starters, the good news is that Xiaomi is gradually expanding its Qi-standard lineup from 2020, but there’s an important caveat: not all models on this list support fast wireless charging out of the box. Some require a branded station (e.g., Xiaomi 13 Pro charges 50W with only the original accessory).
Below is a current list of Xiaomi, Redmi and POCO, Officially supporting wireless charging (data as of June 2026):
- 📱 Xiaomi flagships: Xiaomi 14 Ultra, Xiaomi 14 Pro, Xiaomi 14, Xiaomi 13 Ultra, Xiaomi 13 Pro, Xiaomi 13, Xiaomi 13, Xiaomi 12S Ultra, Xiaomi 12 Pro, Xiaomi 12, Xiaomi 11 Ultra, Xiaomi 11 Pro, Xiaomi 11, Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra, Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro, Xiaomi Mi 10.
- 💰 Mid-segment: Xiaomi Civi 3, Xiaomi Civi 2, Xiaomi 12 Lite, Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE.
- 🔥 Redmi/POCO (Limited support: Redmi K60 Ultra (with a branded station only), POCO F5 Pro (10 Wh), Redmi. K50 Ultra (Chinese version only).
- ⚠️ Hidden Support Models: Some phones (like the Xiaomi Mix 4) technically support Qi, but the feature is disabled in firmware for some regions.
Important: If your model is on the list but wireless charging doesn’t work, check the firmware version. For example, on Xiaomi 12 Pro for the European market, the feature only activates after upgrading to the previous version. MIUI 14.0.4+.
2. Wireless charging speed: real numbers vs marketing
Manufacturers like to specify the maximum charging speed in ideal conditions, but in practice it is different. For example, Xiaomi 14 Ultra promises 80 watts wirelessly, but you need to:
- 🔌 Use the original station (cost) ~15 000 ₽).
- 📉 Charging up to 80% occurs at 80 W, then the speed drops to 30-40 W.
- 🌡️ The temperature of the body should not exceed 35°C at 40°C. Speed is automatically reduced).
And now - a table with real charging speeds for popular models (testing was conducted at room temperature 22).°C with branded chargers):
| Model phone | Max. speed (stated) | Real speed (0–50%) | Real speed (50–100%) | Full charge time. |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Xiaomi 14 Ultra | 80 W. | 65-70 W. | 30-35 W. | ~35 minutes |
| Xiaomi 13 Pro | 50 W. | 40-45 W. | 20-25 W | ~45 minutes. |
| Xiaomi 12 Pro | 50 W. | 35-40 W | 15-20 W | ~55 minutes |
| POCO F5 Pro | 30 Watts. | 10-12 W. | 5-7 W. | ~2 hours |
| Redmi K60 Ultra | 30 Watts. | 15-18 W | 8-10 W | ~1 hour 20 minutes |
As you can see, the difference between the declared and the actual numbers can be multiples, POCO F5 Pro supports 30 watts on paper, but in practice only gives 10 watts - this is due to firmware restrictions for non-Chinese versions.
⚠️ Warning: If you use unoriginal wireless charging, the speed can drop to 5W (like on the old Samsung Galaxy) S6). What’s more, cheap stations without Qi certification can damage the battery due to unstable voltage.
3.How to check if your Xiaomi supports wireless charging

4.Why Xiaomi is abandoning wireless charging in some models
Have you ever wondered why the Redmi Note 12 Pro is a good idea?+ or POCO X5 Pros don't support wireless charging, though they could? reasons rooted in brand strategy:
- Price vs demand. Wireless charging increases the cost of a phone by 3–7%. Xiaomi’s analytics show that in the budget segment (<25 000 ₽) only 12% Users are actively using this function.
- The Qi module requires additional space, for example, the Xiaomi 13 Ultra is 0.8 mm thicker than the Xiaomi 13 because of wireless charging.
- Regional restrictions: China is more in demand for wireless charging, so some models (e.g. Redmi) are more popular. K50 Ultra is only available for local market.
- Competition with POCO. Brand POCO It is positioned as “technologies at a minimum price”, so fast wired charging (120 Wh) is a priority. POCO F5 Pro vs. 30 watts wireless).
In 2022, Xiaomi conducted a survey among Redmi users in Europe, and only 28% of respondents called wireless charging a “must-have feature,” compared with 72% and 65% of fast wired charging and a large battery, respectively.
⚠️ Warning: If you buy Xiaomi in the secondary market (like with AliExpress), check the firmware region. K60 Ultra supports 30W wireless, but the global version does not.

8 Wireless charging on Xiaomi: myths and reality
There are many myths surrounding wireless charging. Let's take a look at the most popular ones.
- 🔋 Myth 1: “Wireless charging spoils the battery faster than wired charging». ✅ Reality: At the same speed, battery wear is comparable. However, high temperatures (above 40)°C) really shorten the lifespan, so the solution is not to charge the phone in the sun or under the blankets.
- ⚡ Myth 2: All Qi stations are the same». ❌ Reality: Cheap stations without certification can produce unstable voltages, causing the battery to bloat.
- 📱 Myth 3: “Wireless charging works through any case». ⚠️ Reality: cases thicker than 3 mm (such as bumpers with protection) block charging, and cases with metal inserts or magnets cause problems.
- 💰 Myth 4: “Wireless charging is cheaper to operate». ❌ Reality: Station + The power supply will cost 3-5 thousand. ₽, Type-C cable: 300-500 ₽. Savings only come if you actively use the feature (for example, charging your phone at work and at home).
