When Xiaomi announced to launch the top of the range Mi 11 on the market following the environmental impact philosophy adopted by Apple, there were so many controversies against the Asian brand. On closer inspection, the controversies all came from the Western world, while apparently the choice not to include neither the cable nor the charger in the package was well received by the Chinese tech people.
In fact, Xiaomi Mi 11 in the first batch of sales has already recorded over 20000 units sold, all exclusively without charger. The thing that is even more surprising, however, is that Lei Jun's company, at the same price as the package without a charger (3999 yuan), also offered users the possibility of receiving it, however, an excellent 55W GaN (nitride of gallium).
You understood correctly, completely free of charge users could decide whether to also receive a cable and charger for their Mi 11, yet users made a significant moral choice, preferring the packaging that only integrated the flagship and nothing else.
Xiaomi Mi 11 sells 20000 units in one go. Here is the confirmation that the charger in the package is not essential
It should also be said that not everyone thinks the same, as these data must be accompanied by those relating to the sales of Mi 11 complete with everything, therefore also with charger, which are equal to 350 thousand units. However, many of these are destined for various stores that resell the product to other markets, such as Gearbest, Banggood, AliExpress etc .. therefore, to attract sales to Western users, it is more than normal that the data is decidedly oversized compared to the Green Edition.
On the other hand, the human mentality thinks in a stupid way, or when something is free why give it up? In fact, the cost converted into euros for the charger and cable is around 12 euros, not a very important figure therefore, which however contributes to a reduction in the consumption of plastic to a large extent, if other users go towards this philosophy, which once again launched Apple.
An avid Xiaomi fan speaks to you and has never liked Apple for various reasons: you made fun of Apple when it did not insert the charger (see this article https://www.xiaomitoday.it/xiaomi-critica-iphone-12-senza-caricabatterie.html ) and now you praise Xiaomi for making a green choice ??? Why is it called a Green choice?
Daß 20,000 von 350,000 darauf verzichten, ist no Bestätigung. Wie heißt es so schön: 'Jeden Tag steht ein Dummer auf'. Der weitaus größere Teil (330,000 von 350,000) möchte sich nicht 'nochmal' Geld aus der Tasche ziehen lassen, beim 'Nachkauf' eines 55W Ladegerätes, mit weiteren Versandkosten und noch mehr Verpackungsmüll.
but in fact, I have the charger for my Mi9T still new in the blister, never used, (I'm using the one from the Lumia 930) ditto Mi10Tlite (my wife's) new, arrived recently, the charger is inside the box and we won't use it, she uses the one from her Redmi5plus.
It's stupid to pay 700/800 euros for a mobile phone and then have to buy a separate battery charger.
First the headphones have disappeared then the charger will soon be in the box there will be only the instructions to build the smartphone by buying the components separately.
