Explain it cuz im not familiar with this decision
14t pro , no 120 w charger in the box
it happen with iphone first, then samsung, then xiaomi/ There are few model of xiaomi sold without charge
Maybe time to jump ship to another manufacturer that still include chargers. Only way to tell these companies is to not buy the product.
Xiaomi, why do you do this 😭. Why does my favourite company do this. Let’s hope they return the charger in future
Nooo wayyyyy people are going to buy the expensive 120w charger, is the case still included?
Is the case included in the box or it is like the charger?
fuck apple
it’s still included
Pretty sure they did this due to European laws and they now sell all their phones without a charger
Fuck apple a 1000 times.
We’re getting the downfall of everything we loved, thanks a lot 2024
Looking into it further , I think it depends on the world you are , tech tablets reviewed it and didn’t get a charger
yes and no; European laws say that it must include at least an option to reduce e-waste, to have the option to include charger or not with the phone; but why would manufacturers abide to that if it’s easier to just not include the charger and sell it separately
As long as they reduce the price of the phone I dont mind so much.
would be nice to say that, but this year, oppo, Vivo, honor and OnePlus have also removed it…
leaving what company?
So true vote with your money and the company will either change or sink
Dudes they Ara charging just 0.99€ for the charger
I thin everyone can pay that…
Infinix is stepping up around here and sending wall and wireless charger in the box
Their phones and OS is subpar imo
Very mediocre at best
Yes, I do agree. But they have been trying to improve, their last device seems okay, I just thought it was too expensive at this point
what do you need more chargers for?
Realme 12 pro+ comes with 67w charger
I’d buy infinix if they had slightly better hardware and longer software support, however for now I prefer a slightly higher end phone just because of what I use my phone for
Yeah this had me fuming, I rated Xiaomi highly because they included the charger in the box.
The 14 T Pro doesn’t come with a charger, plus their 120W charging bricks literally out of stock, absolute stinker from Xiaomi
I pray the Xiaomi 14T series phones sell like crap so they can put chargers in the box, people tolerate too much nowadays
Fuck apple and everything they stand for. They made the tech industry skip out on features or items that should be included. What a fucked up company, and people still love them for it
Companies should stop doing Apple’s nonsense. It’s like saying hey look at me, I can shit on my customers like apple does. My phone is great because I can be like apple that has no charger in the box
But what if they’re selling it to non EU countries? The world doesn’t revolve around the fucking EU. EU can go fuck themselves and their stupid policies
Me too, idk why people tolerate this(people become more stupid in my opinion). I remember when Xiaomi did this in the China market (it was a mi 11) people started hating Xiaomi and they returned chargers in the next series 12(I’m not 100% sure with this, but if I am wrong correct me)
their policies are usually good; and though Xiaomi also sell to the rest of the world, it would mean 2 different sizes of box for the same phone, and so companies like Xiaomi, OnePlus etc are just opting for selling the charger separately since apple and samsung got away with doing so just fine;
if companies don’t want to sell to the EU, just don’t 😉
Usually. But not this one. That’s the dumbest policy ever. As if removing chargers would reduce e-waste. Do they seriously believe that? E-waste will always be a thing as long as people have phones or whatever gadget. What’s next, EU gonna ban phones for good? Haha
Thank iphone and their stupid antics
Didn’t know about that, unfortunately big companies only see money and trends they don’t see complaints or feedback, Xiaomi’s been growing on me and I’d love to see them do well but hopefully the sales go bad and they see leaving the charger out of the box isn’t a good trend
Um no they don’t. So you either buy the phone itself, and the charger or not buy it at all
Why don’t you just shut up and stop supporting that idea for companies?
Majority of people are dumb, Apple uses their dumbness to scam the fuck out of them.
I totally agree with that; I believe chargers should be forced to be sold with the phone.. imagine selling a device you can’t even charge
I have more chargers than devices that need them
What if I would sell you a pair of brand new shoes without the insole in them? If you complain I can just brush it off and say you could get one for cheap. Would you like that hmm? Please stop encouraging companies from selling half assed items
Then good for you. Not everyone has that convenience. And remember this phone needs 120w. Do you seriously believe everyone has a 120w charger in their homes? It’s also a matter of safety. Would you trust say a charger that’s been in your house for years now over a new one out of the box like any other phone should??
True. Such a half assed phone. Not to mention having many chargers at home is no excuse because it’s either too slow for the phone, or not safe at all. Having chargers come with the phone is also a safety feature to have proper working chargers be used on the phones. EU really need to get a brain check on this one
true; not including a company’s own charger is really a hazard because then people might look for an off brand charger and use that; to then blame the phone company because their charger exploded and house burned down
it doesn’t *need* 120w
Apple sure fucked the tech industry hard. Next thing we’ll hear is laptops won’t include chargers because of “e-waste” and eco friendly bullshits
Either way it’s still a safety feature you know, to have the company’s charger. You have to keep in mind that the old chargers you have might not be in good condition. Yes it works, but to what extent? It’s still a half assed phone. Stop supporting half assed measures
huh? which Oneplus? I know the flagship(Oneplus 12) comes with the charger included. did they get rid of the chargers for midrange phones?
no charger in germany/spain and romania so far
yeap
Lately, phones have been coming out so good and reliable that manufacturers looked for the easiest way to screw up our lives: removing the factory charger and thus forcing us to buy it separately.
But… it is more likely that one will end up buying a fake or one of poor quality, causing the phone to be damaged and being in the misfortune of buying another phone in the worst case scenario.
IMHO.
why not the charger but the case…?
Maybe cause a charger is 60 buchs and a plastic case is 5bucks?
Also, some EU laws about e-waste and bullshit.
Anyway, idk, ask xiaomi
Yes because you absolutely do not have another usb charger in your home. Absolutely no chance
What an absolutely ridiculous take. If the charger is not safe, it should be disposed of no matter what it powers. That phone is not making your charger unsafe.
oh yes! what a lovely experience!
You just bought a brand new phone. You look around in the box. There is only the phone and cable.
-> slow charging unless you buy a charger for it extra – bought a phone and it doesn’t even come being able to charge rapidly, one of the main aspects of phones these days.. how nice..
According to a website this is happening in the South Asian countries, does this leave a hope for the global market to remain?
Apple originally removed the charger from the box to claim it was “saving the environment” with a smaller box size, and encouraging people to use their old chargers.
This logic is flawed, since the charger is now a seperate add-on and comes in another box anyways.
This has nothing to do with Apple. All those Android manufacturers were mocking them and claiming how they’ll always be better… Well, there you go. Apple was just (as usual) smarter and did it early.
Tbh I don’t mind, what I do mind is xiaomi limiting the full speed charge to their charger only, I have a 65W Anker charger, it can only do fast charge on the Xiaomi phone and not the full speed 60W, which is infuriating, EU needs to make a law to allow charge to be as fast as the brick supports, this would also reduce e-waste since right now I’m forced to buy a second power brick just to use a feature my already existing power brick could easily handle if it wasn’t locked.
jst remove the case aswell duh
ZTE and Lenovo seems to still include their high output chargers. I’ve jumped to Lenovo after having X3 NFC then bought ZTE after I’m done with Lenovo. The good thing with Android is that you’re not limited to Xiaomi, BBK, Huawei, Transsion, or any of their subsidiaries as your only options. Also not buying any phone at all is always part of the option.
My iPhone 14 didn’t come with a charger. You late.
But if you have one already?
The whole carbon neutral ideology has become such a money minting opportunity for Apple (and more to follow).
More flawed that it’s just more profit to these corpos than to environment
Immaterial. Even if I have one already, it’s still bad business. It’s selling an incomplete package. Stop tolerating half assed products. This isn’t apple
yet there’s still no way to purchase the case from Xiaomi separately
You obviously have no idea how electronics work. If you want to use your old charger, there’s a real chance that it has the wrong voltage. I can’t believe you’d trust a half assed measure. But that’s your choice. Just don’t drag people who want the full package with you
If i pay less I’m ok with it. I don’t need the extra/bonus items. 🙂
Do you seriously believe you’d pay less? They’d just capitalize on this by not decreasing the price 😀
It may be more acceptable if standards compliant usb-c could charge phones at 100w but they cant. You need their proprietary charger for that if you don’t you max out at about 30w
How do you know? 😁
Mi11 had a charger for European models. I think they announced that there would be no charger globally then changed their mind, China didn’t get them EU did.
Maybe evaluate whether the whole package is worth the price? Boycotting manufacturers just because of the chargers is like boycotting phones because they removed the 3.5mm jack. You are going to limit your options too much since this is an ongoing trend.
Are we buying phones with accessories or accessories with phones?
EU, do your thing, fuck Apple
Iirc, they got rid of the charger for the OnePlus 12R.
How exactly is it a bad scenario for the phone company if the customer needs to buy a new phone more quickly?
oh yeah, you’re right. I totally forgot about ZTE. i really hope the keop their charging adaptor
Yet price stays the same
Your iPhone 14 is the exact same phone as my iPhone 13, with a different name. Good job supporting such companies.
You obviously have no idea how chargers work.
oneplus didnt remove it. says in product page ( inclued in box )
The phone is more expensive. 14T is now the normal flagship price of last year.
The rest of us bought a phone that does 120W charging and if we want to use that functionality we pay them again for what we already paid for.
There are 100W+ 3rd party chargers that are compatible. Anker comes to mind.
This is always the case. Therefore, you need to buy a mobile that is a year older, like the 13t pro. 😁New item = always expensive, after sometime, the price drops.
Well fuck me, I was hoping to get one, which was my last thread connecting me to Xiaomi because they start feeling like any other big tech companies who only care about profits.
Now I am honestly thinking about jumping into vivo/oppo…
The first phone was Redmi note 2 and since never switched from them….
No maker is going to give you a $100+ charger in the box for free. It made sense when all chargers were the same low wattage ones that are cheap to make, but fast charge ones are expensive and not everyone needs them so it makes sense that they’re optional.
The worst case scenario is for consumers: suddenly buying another phone because of a fake or third-party accessory. And the thing is even more serious in countries where the brand (this or any other) is not officially present and one is exposed to so many accessories of dubious quality.
Companies try to sell us phones every year and that we as users fall for that.
Users (the majority) expect to rely on our devices for a reasonable time (years).
Welcome to the era of people’s customers not giving a fuck cause they think it’s a status symbol and the era of people being stupid asf. At least I hope EU has some balls to make them from not doing that.
You pay the price of it anyway, either its in the box or you buy it separatly.
This is a good thing if all the companies use standardized protocols like PD. That way you can buy one good brick and can charge all your things for years. But the companies will still stick to their proprietary fast charging protocols. You will be forced to buy the charger from them.
Well it’s a €0.99 option, very close to free with the purchase of the 14T.
So, while free would have been better, if you already have a charger from the previous model, you might go for the option to opt out.
I don’t think it’s a terrible option as long as they give you the choice to add on for under 1 Euro.
I find it funny…it’s less waste if the charger is in the box. Now they’re just making more e-waste by selling chargers in their own boxes.
Well, it depends. În my family there already are 2 11t pro phones, with 120w charger I might just use of them.
They sold lots of phone with 120w charging, so that might be a reason.
Samsung for example is using 45w charging, everybody has a least one 45w charger at home
Also, u gonna buy a charger now, and u gonna use that charger with 15t pro, 16t pro and so on for the next 10 years, or as said above, you already have one from an older xiaomi device
You are correct. I misunderstood e-waste as in general waste (using more paper to print boxes and instructions and such).
This is eu fault not apple.
I was pointing out a fact. I assume you dont like it and were/are being sarcstic and putting me down without saying it.
It’s a raise in prices for sure.
I find it difficult to buy any phone without supporting a tainted name.
Well, since the MFI programme is now pretty much dead they have to find another way to scam people, so selling the charger separately will make up those otherwise lost profits. It’s just a shame that other companies copy almost everything Apple does, even if it’s worse for the consumer.
Lol I’d never touch a transsion product. horrible customer service and OS/Security updates.
Fuck Tim cook
Fuck Apple and all those overpriced “flagship” phones
Do you work for free?
Why should xiaomi give their own tech free?
100%true
Can you make me a list of good ones?
I haven’t found one.
So you never check what you buy?
Who said give it free? I’m talking about limiting a feature the phone already has to the original charger, which btw is included with the phone for free, so why not allow third party chargers capable of over 60W to charge at full speed? If I go on a trip I have to haul the original charger with me if I want fast charge rather than just using an available charger at the place I’m going.
You can only blame yourself if you buy shit.
Same here. 2x67w and 2x120w chargers for my pad6pro and mix fold 4
Stupid people here
Do you have any idea what you’re saying?
If you want to use fast charge invented by other company. You have to pay for it!!!
Idk if it has to do with anything. I have pudding-like 120w GaN charger that’s 3 times smaller than what brick they put in a box. Also I have 1m usb4 type-C to type-C 6A cable. Totally agree, fuck Apple, but at least Xiaomi gives better alternatives, unlike those 100w chargers for 27w iPhone that proclaim to charge it faster lol
I got my charger in the box on my 14t pro
Bought a 14t pro yesteday. 120w charger in the box. Taiwan.
Yet the launch price of note 7 pro and note 10 Pro are the same
Idk man, i bought a redmi note 13 like a month ago and it has a charger
It’s not “their” tech. USB-C PD is not xiaomi’s IP. Just make it work with PD protocol which is universal.
I just bought Redmi buds 6 active that came without charger, cable, nada
Level at which xiaomi is copying apple is honestly embarrasing as i thought they really had potential
Everyone. Company didnt want to take the charger. It is a new EU law, to reduce waste
Apple sucks. But gets good money from our household.
Btwn fuck the Apple and Samsung to.
Fuck Apple.
XIAOMI
SAMSUNG AND ANY OTHER FUCKING COMPANY THAT WANTS SCREW US
Hopefully you will understand what a BS you said. It is STANDARD which Xiaomi implemented, it is NOT their tech, aside from 120W Hypercharge. If we’re talking about Quick charge – it is developed by Qualcomm. We should not tolerate overpaying for company made chargers just because they limited other chargers perfectly made for the same tech.
If xiaomi uses quick charge by Qualcomm they also have to pay for Qualcomm. Wake up.
Just get 120w charger and ur set for life
