Xiaomi Mi 11 arrives on the private market of the classic sales package, incorporating only the smartphone and nothing else, therefore no cable and no power supply. A choice that traces what Apple has done with its iPhone 12, although in reality Lei Jun's company gives the customer the possibility to decide whether or not to receive the charger, maintaining the same selling price.
On the sales of one or another model we have already ruled in this article, but with today we want to warn you, in case you have opted for the "green" choice, to pay attention to the type of charger that you are going to use on your Xiaomi Mi 11. In particular, there are many users who are complaining about bootloop related problems to the 65W GaN charger that Xiaomi itself produces and sells.
A battery charger of this kind allows you to get a quick recharge of energy-intensive products, such as notebooks, all in very small dimensions. Gallium nitride technology is used, equipping the Type C interface charger, compatible with a maximum fast charge of 65W in power delivery 3.0, as well as supporting a series of fast charging protocols of various brands such as Samsung, Huawei, Apple etc ..
Thanks to the inclusion of the new semiconductor material GaN (Gallium Nitride), the dimensions of Xiaomi's 65W GaN charger are approximately 48% smaller than the standard chargers currently on sale or that have accompanied Xiaomi's smartphones to date. .
"Green" choice for the purchase of Xiaomi Mi 11? Pay attention to which charger you use, because you risk bootloop
All very nice right? Yet this particular GaN charger was withdrawn from sale around April 2020, due to the fact that the charger would be involved in a piracy incident on Android phones, which caused communication problems between cell phones and chargers. Xiaomi has withdrawn from sales the GaN chargers that contained this fault, but many users may still have this model at home and then use it to recharge their Xiaomi Mi 11.
In fact, many users have flocked to the Weibo social network after trying the Xiaomi Gan 65W and Mi 11 combo, obtaining an infinite bootlloop. At the moment the only solution is to go to one of the various Mi Stores for a solution, whether it is a restoration or the final change of the terminal. However, the company is trying to clarify whether the problem affects all GaN 65W chargers or if it is limited to the old shipment that was withdrawn in April 2020.
If so Xiaomi would have to perform an OTA update for Mi 11 to support these affected 65W GaN chargers. In any case, users let it be known that this type of event only happened with the Mi 11 and that it had not happened with other smartphones of the company.
