Introduction: Why Xiaomi is wireless charging?
Wireless charging in Xiaomi smartphones is no longer an exclusive feature of flagships β today it is supported even by some models of the mid-range. But how to understand the intricacies of the Mi, Redmi and POCO lines, if the manufacturer does not always focus on this feature? In this article, we will not just list all the current models with support for Qi-standard, but also reveal the nuances: from real charging speed to compatibility with car holders and powerbank.
Spoiler: Not all Xiaomi wireless charging phones are equally useful. For example, the Xiaomi 13 Ultra charges 50 watts, and the Redmi Note 12 Pro+ charges only 15 watts, although both support the Qi standard. The difference is 3 times! And that's not all: some models require branded charging stations, others work with any certified devices. Next, a detailed analysis of tables, tests and life hacks.
Official list of Xiaomi models with wireless charging (2026)
Letβs start with the good news: Xiaomiβs range of Qi-enabled smartphones is expanding. Whereas in 2020, only the Mi flagships had this feature, today it even made its way into the Redmi Note line. Below is the current list of models that can be charged wirelessly (data as of June 2026).
- π± Xiaomi 14 Pro β 50 W (with proprietary station)
- π± Xiaomi 14 - 50 W
- π± Xiaomi 13 Ultra - 50W
- π± Xiaomi 13 Pro - 50W
- π± Xiaomi 12S Ultra - 50 Watts
- π± Xiaomi Mix Fold 3 - 50 W
- π± Redmi Note 12 Pro+ 5G β 15 Watts
- π± POCO F5 Pro - 30 watts
- π± Xiaomi Civi 3 β 30 W (only in the Chinese version)
Important: Redmi and POCO models often have regional limitations, such as the POCO F5 Pro for the global market supports 30 watts, while the Indian version only supports 15 watts. Always check the specifications for your region!
Charging speed: myths and reality
Manufacturers like to specify the maximum wireless charging power in marketing materials, but in practice it is more difficult. For example, Xiaomi 14 Pro promises 50 watts, but this requires the original Xiaomi Wireless Charger station. 50W (cost ~5 000 β½). With universal charges of 10-15 W, the speed will drop by 3-5 times.
Here are the real tests (data from GSMArena and NotebookCheck reviews):
| Model | Max. power (Watt) | Time 0-100% (original station) | Time 0β100% (universal. Qi 10W) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Xiaomi 14 Pro | 50 | ~50 minutes | ~2h 10min |
| POCO F5 Pro | 30 | ~1h 20min | ~2 h 30 min |
| Redmi Note 12 Pro+ | 15 | β | ~3h |
Critical detail: Xiaomi smartphones with support for 50 watts require the forced inclusion of βturbo charging modeβ in the battery settings (Settings β Battery β Wireless charging β Enable accelerated). Without this, even with the original station, power will be limited to 30 watts.

If your Xiaomi is warming up when wirelessly charging, remove the case - temperature sensors can fire falsely and reduce power to 5 watts.
Compatibility with accessories: what works and what does not
Not all wireless charging is equally useful. Here are the key nuances:
- β Original Xiaomi stations (50W, 30W, 20W) β guaranteed to run at maximum power, but expensive.
- β Certified Qi-chargers (Anker, Belkin, Samsung) β support up to 10-15 watts, but require the correct positioning of the smartphone.
- β Cheap no-name charges β may not be recognized or cause overheating (risk of battery damage!).
- β οΈ Car holders β only work with models up to 15 watts (e.g. Redmi Note 12 Pro)+). Flagships like Xiaomi 14 Pro will not charge in them.
A special case is reverse wireless charging (when the smartphone gives power to other devices), supported by:
- π Xiaomi 13/14 Pro - before 10 Watt
- π Xiaomi Mix Fold 3 β up to 5 watts
- π POCO F5 Pro β up to 5 watts (only in the Chinese version)
Lifehack: If your Xiaomi doesnβt recognize wireless charging, try resetting the battery settings (Settings β System β Resetting β Resetting the battery settings). In 30% of cases, this solves the compatibility problem.
Why Xiaomi limits power on non-original charges?
How to Check Wireless Charging Support in Your Xiaomi
Not sure if your smartphone has a Qi module? Here are 3 reliable ways to do this.
- Check the model in the database. Go to the GSMArena website, type in your model name, and look for the Battery section. If you have a Wireless charging line, it's supported.
- Visual inspection: Most wirelessly charged models have a metal plate (Qi antenna) under the glass on the back, and it looks like a shiny square or circle near the center.
- Test with charging station. Put your smartphone on Qi charging. If the notification "Wireless charging" appears, there is a function. Attention: some models (for example, POCO X5 Pro) require manual activation (Settings β Additional β Wireless charging).
If none of these things worked, but you're sure the model should support charging, check the firmware version. In older MIUI builds, the function could have been software-disabled (relevant to the Redmi K50 Pro before MIUI 14).

Top.-3 problems and solutions
Even in Xiaomiβs flagship models, wireless charging can malfunction, and here are the most common user complaints and ways to address them:
β οΈ Attention: If your Xiaomi 13/14 Pro suddenly stopped charging wirelessly after falling, don't try to disassemble it yourself! 90% In cases of damage to the Qi antenna, and its replacement requires soldering work.
- π₯ Overheating and powering out. Cause: battery heats above 40Β°C, and the system blocks charging. Solution: remove the case, put the smartphone on a cooling stand or charge in a cool room. In extreme cases, reduce the power in the settings (Settings). β Battery β Temperature control).
- π’ Slow charging (less than declared power) Reason: Uses a non-original station or under-charging power cable. Solution: Check that the power supply of the stations produces at least 24 watts (for 30 watts of charging) or 65 watts (for 50 watts).
- β‘ Charging is interrupted or not started. Cause: the positioning of the coils is lost. Solution: gently move the smartphone along the charging surface until you hear a beep (in Xiaomi 14) or see a charging indicator. In some models, rebooting helps.
If problems persist, try calibrating the battery:
- Discharge the smartphone to 0% and turn it off.
- Connect to wired charging and charge up to 100% without interruptions.
- Turn it off and turn it on again. Repeat the cycle 2-3 times.
Should you pay more for wireless charging in Xiaomi?
Let's calculate.The average price difference between the Redmi Note 12 Pro (without Qi) and the Redmi Note 12 Pro+ (with Qi - about 5,000 β½. For that money, you get it:
- βοΈ Convenience (no need to connect the cable).
- βοΈ Less wear on the connector USB-C.
- βοΈ Possibility to use charging stations in public places (airports, cafes).
But there are downsides:
- β Slower wired charging (even 50 watts Xiaomi 14 Pro loses 120 watts on cable).
- β Additional costs for the original station (5,000β8,000) β½).
- β Risk of overheating of the battery with frequent use.
So the bottom line is, if you use a car holder or a charging pad in your office a lot, wireless charging is worth it. It's wired enough for home use -- it's faster and cheaper.
