After hearing about it in some leaks in the previous days, today a novelty has been confirmed that will not please everyone: the next Xiaomi Mi 11 series will arrive without charger in the package.
Xiaomi Mi 11: Officially confirmed the lack of the charger in the package
The Chinese brand first released an image (above) on Weibo, this was clear enough: we already have too many chargers in the house that we don't use.
Along with the image, Xiaomi had also commented "Today we will announce an important decision for the Xiaomi Mi 11". Well, a couple of hours later, the brand officially confirmed the news saying that:
Xiaomi Mi 11 is officially unveiled with a brand new, light and thin packaging. Within it, we made an important decision: Xiaomi Mi 11 removed the included charger and responded to the demand for technology and environmental protection.
Today everyone has a lot of unused magazines. This is your problem and a burden on the environment. We are well aware that this decision may not be understood or even challenged. Is there a better solution between industry practices and the environment? Next Monday we will speak at the press conference.
This move by Xiaomi may not please many fans of the brand who expect to find everything they need to make the smartphone go inside the packaging of their newly purchased device. Especially given that this doesn't seem to get cheaper over time, but we should see a slight (unconfirmed) price increase for the Mi 11 series as well.
If we have to look for the positive side instead, for those who have already had several mid-range or top-of-the-range smartphones, the charger already in our possession will be more than enough to power the brand's new flagship. Furthermore, if we really want to be honest, many times the chargers provided by smartphone manufacturers do not even support the maximum power supported by the device.
18W Apple charger
In the case of Xiaomi, if the Mi 11 or Mi 11 Pro supported, as it is thought, a power of over 100W, the brand would be forced to equip the device with a high-performance charger, much more expensive than a low-power one. example what we find with an iPhone (maximum power of 18W).
In any case, what do you think of Xiaomi's choice? Are you against or for it? Let us know in the comments section below!
