Wireless charging has become an integral part of premium smartphones, but even in Xiaomiโs lineup, a brand known for affordable prices, this feature is not found in all models. If you are planning to buy a new phone and want to get rid of the confusion of wires, it is important to know in advance whether the chosen model supports the Qi standard (the most common wireless charging protocol).
In this article, we will not only list all the current Xiaomi, Redmi and POCO smartphones with wireless charging support, but also reveal the nuances from maximum power (from modest 5W to record 80W) to compatibility with charging stations of other brands.
Why not all Xiaomi phones support wireless charging
At first glance, it seems that wireless charging should be in every modern smartphone โ especially in the premium segment. However, Xiaomi often abandons this feature even in top models.
- ๐ Cost of components: the Qi charging coil increases the cost of the device by 10-15%, which is critical for the budget lines of Redmi and the cost of the product. POCO.
- ๐ Case thickness: efficient power transfer requires a minimum distance between the phoneโs coils and the charging station.This limits design decisions (e.g., Xiaomi 13 Ultra with a massive camera does not support Qi).
- โก The priority of fast wired charging: Xiaomi is betting on record 120Wโ210W It is more practical for most users.
- ๐ Regional restrictions: some models (e.g. Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite) get Qi-charging only in the version for China, and global versions do not have this feature.
Interestingly, even within a line, wireless charging support can vary, with Xiaomi 12 Pro having it and Xiaomi 12 not, although both are in the flagship segment, and this is due to different target audiences: the former is marketed as โpremium for enthusiastsโ and the latter as โflagship for mass buyers.โ

What wireless charging to choose for Xiaomi
Even if your smartphone supports Qi, its maximum power depends on the charger.
- ๐ Power: Xiaomi 14 Pro or 13 Ultra take the station on the 50W (for example, Xiaomi 50W Wireless Charging Stand: Older models (Mi 10 Pro) will be enough 30W.
- ๐ฑ Phone Position: Stands are convenient for watching video while charging, and flat pads are more compact for travel.
- ๐ Reverse Charging: If you plan to charge your headphones or your phone watch, choose models that support Reverse Wireless Charging (e.g. Xiaomi Mi Wireless Charging Pad) 20W).
- ๐ก๏ธ Protection: Look for stations with certificates QC 3.0 and Qi 1.2.4, as well as overheating protection (especially important for Xiaomi) 12S Ultra with ceramic body).

If your Xiaomi supports Qi but charging is too slow, try removing the case โ even a thin silicone can block up to 30% of the power.
Frequent wireless charging problems on Xiaomi and their solutions
Xiaomi smartphone users often encounter common Qi charging errors, and here are the most common ones and ways to fix them:
โ ๏ธ Warning: If the phone is hotter than 45ยฐC during wireless charging, the system automatically reduces power to 5W. To avoid overheating, do not use your phone while charging and place the station in a ventilated area.
- โ Charging does not start: Check that the station is connected to the power supply with a power supply of at least 18W (for 30W+ Qi need a qi 36W+). Make sure the phone is in the center of the charging pad (for the Xiaomi 13 Pro, a displacement of no more than 5 mm is allowed). MIUI There were bugs with recognition of Qi-devices.
- ๐ข Slow charging: Use Xiaomiโs original power adapter (e.g. GaN Charger) 65W For Xiaomi 14, disable Reverse Charging in Settings if not in use. For Mi 11 Ultra: activate Ultra Battery Saver mode in Settings โ Battery if power drops below 20W.
- โก Charging is interrupted: Check if there are metal stickers or magnets on the back of the phone (they interfere with the operation of the coil). 12S Ultra: Turn off Adaptive Charging in the battery settings - it may conflict with Qi. Reboot phone and station (turn off power for 30 seconds).
If problems persist, check the integrity of the charging coil in the phone. You can use the AIDA64 app (Battery โ Wireless charging section) to do this. The lack of Qi module data indicates a hardware malfunction.

Wireless charging vs. wired: what to choose for Xiaomi
Despite the convenience, wireless charging is losing to wired charging in several ways.
| Criteria | Wireless (Qi) | Wired |
|---|---|---|
| Max. Power. | 50W (Xiaomi 14 Pro) | 210W (Redmi Note 12 Pro+) |
| Charging speed 0-100% | ~90 minutes (Xiaomi 13 Ultra) | ~15 minutes (Xiaomi 12T Pro) |
| Battery wear and tear | 10-15% higher due to heat | Below when using the original adapters |
| Convenience | โ No wires, you can charge through a case (thin) | โ Link to the socket, the risk of damage to the connector |
| Compatibility | Works with any Qi-devices (headphones, watches) | Requires a proprietary cable (e.g. USB-C to USB-C for Xiaomi 14) |
The choice depends on your priorities:
- ๐ Home/office: wireless charging is more convenient, especially if you have multiple gadgets (e.g. Xiaomi Watch) S3 + smartphone).
- โก In travel: wired charging is more practical - you do not need to look for a socket for the station, and the speed is higher.
- ๐ฎ For gamers: wired only, as Qi does not provide stable 50W+ high-load.
Hybrid approach: Use wireless charging at night (for example, on the Xiaomi 50W Stand rack next to the bed), and during the day โ wired for quick recovery of charge.
The future of wireless charging in Xiaomi smartphones
In 2026, Xiaomi announced a new technology Xiaomi HyperCharge Wireless, which promises:
- โก Power up to 80W (In the laboratory, it has already been achieved. 100W).
- ๐ Re-charging on 20W (now 10W).
- ๐ Universal compatibility with devices from other brands (including iPhone and Galaxy).
- ๐ก๏ธ Protection against overheating due to liquid cooling in the charging station.
The first smartphone to use this technology will be the Xiaomi 15 Ultra (expected release is late 2026), and Xiaomi is working on remote charging (without contact with the site), but its commercial debut is not scheduled until 2026.
Interestingly, the low-end lineups (Redmi and POCO) still donโt plan to have wireless charging, and instead, Xiaomi is betting on ultra-fast wired charging (like the 210W in the Redmi Note 13 Pro+) and increased battery capacity (up to 6,000 mAh).

In 2026-2026, wireless charging will remain the prerogative of Xiaomiโs flagship models. In budget smartphones, the brand will develop wired technologies (200W+).
