\- Xiaomi does not include chargers with new devices.
\- Well, no, but actually yes.
I think they chose the right path.
Shots fired.
Ye Apple are Just milking people
Not just Apple. Also Samsung and Co.
Yes forgot samsung did that
The thing is that many Apple user change their phone every year.
What a waste. I still got my mi mix2 from 2017
Is that a pixelbook go?
Xiaomi really whilin
Why is this a Video of a Video? Why not just upload the video?
It was done during a live event
Is this for all markets? Philippines still sell it separately last time i checked… Or at least they keep saying that the one with a charger is out of atock and the only one available is the chargerless one
I agree with this.
Judging by the keyboard nope
> because I have already enough at home!
Good for you. Most people don’t. When I sell my phone I sell it with the charger…
Or maybe they could have included one in the price. For 700-1200 fucking Euros it should come with a fucking charger, don’t ya think? What, next time there will be no box, just a plastic bag? “Oh, buy a box then”
> I
You are the entire phone market? You do realize you can just keep it in the box if you don’t need it then, right?
How about no?
The next time you buy a brand new car , they ll sell you one without wheels, because you already have wheels from your old one. Oh wait they don’t fit?
” Just fucking buy some, if you need them , It’s not like Mercedes/BMW, etc forbid to buy fucking wheels “
> It’s better to exclude the charger and let the customer decide if he needs a charger or not!
I would agree with you if it was realistic. In reality it is another way to squeeze a few more dollars out of every consumer. What, you think they will actually give them for free if a customer requests them? Wake the fuck up.
If you, and those companies, really gave shit about the environment they would stop releasing a new phone every single week and stop ending software support after 12 months.
I have a charger with my last phone but probably not capable of outputting to take advantage of the higher wattage fast charging the new phones have.
You want to charge me in excess of £1000 a phone I want to be able to take full advantage of the features the phone has.
This I agree with, do long as I’m not being charged for it i.e. apple/Samsung
I think hate is warranted here.
Agreed and please stop copying iOS also
Man my mom just got the iphone 12…blew my mind with no charger. On top of that to get fast charging you need a usb c charger. My mother is coming from an iphone 6. So for $1300 she also had to buy a new charger to fast charge. Absolute bullshit.
Not only did they do this brilliant mockery in your video OP but they then used an iPhone 12 Pro in all the spec comparisons to the Mi 11 to which of course the Mi 11 destroyed it across the board
Looking forward to the Mi 11 being available to buy in UK, I’ll sell my Mi 10T Pro I only got last month so I can buy the 11
Would be interested to see if there is an 11 Pro as well but today was a great day for Xiaomi
what is this? they’ll probably produce more charger bricks than needed. don’t do this to us, xiaomi
Yup, this is pretty much it. Also, iPhones are much more fragile, so many people get them broken after 2 years.
I just hope they don’t pull a Samsung. They made fun of apple for not including chargers and immediately proceeded to remove them from their new phones. What a joke.
Why Apple can do the “no need to provide additional charger” it’s because their charging tech haven’t really change, staying at the slowmo, while most of the Chinese brands are providing up to date tech of fast charging, that include with the charger needed.
I totally agree with you. Why on earth I need a charger when I have plenty of chargers at Home That are Even way better. For me they could even through the in-ears out of the Box. Also the unused chargers produce so much waste. I am fine if Apple squeeze out some dollars more for them but in the end it helps the Planet too. With a smaller box they can ship more phone to the hole world with less energy and fuel. Also Apple is one of few companies who have a very green foodprint.
But damn if a cheap charger is so much more important to some people then the planet it does not surprise me why environment is going down. Its only me me me
Also have fun with your charger this year. Can’t wait to see what you guys will say when Xiaomi gonna ditch the charger too, vor the environment of course…
Sheesh some people thing other brands phones are made by fairies
Such a savage move from Xiaomi to not copy Apple this time.
Did you even took your time to look up the models? The pro models all have 128GB storage so in fact they are cheaper.
Damn… That’s good. They’re listening.
I like xiaomi, they have only improved as a company since i first became aware of them
Android world following Apple world by removing chargers but they forgot simple thing: proper Android OS update for 6 years like Apple…
Take Mi Pad 4 for example: no update whatsoever…
It’s really insane… Sadly only compatible with some new devices
they would be better do notes export. still impossible

yes because they break the screen like any iphone user
Not being offensive, but you could advice her to go for some other brand…
I really don’t like apple and like the move, however, what’s up with the presentation style, it’s actually a copy of apple’s keynote. Xiaomi, you have great potential, stop copying these dumb things and please make your own identity / path. YOU CAN!
I did…I hate everything about apple…but she’s used to it so that’s what she wanted.
I feel that, some people especially eldery are used to iphones. I am fortunate that my mom hates iPhones lol… When I ask her what phone she wants, she always say “the one with curved edges” XD
In a second thought, I see the notch coming and going has its own meaning.
You can see the top side of the phone getting thinner every later generation comes out, then flexing with the screen from the “bunny ears” to “water drop”, then a single small hole to completely underscreen camera.
It’s not preferable by some, obviously, but a gateway for further innovations in the future.
Meanwhile removing the charger is completely bs at this time. I’ll wait to see how it plays out.
Unless you have the official news about your market, or you’re in the business and can have the information about stock sources, go for the most viable option that benefits you the most.
Personally I do not think most of the retailers would lie to you at the same time, especially big ones in your area.
If many are acting the same way then there must be something going on than just straight up lying to preserve stock, since it will definitely damage the market and the retailers themselves.
Because YOU have it. Most people won’t. “Just use your old one” is an 80% chance it will be at most a 10W charger, sometimes even 5W charger.
Many Apple users are morons.
69 comments nice
Lol yeah, and it’s not worth the stress of trying to teach her how to use an Android device. It is what it is.
It’s not really a waste most apple customers get a free upgrade to the next version when they trade their phone in, that’s what I’ll be doing
That’s how it works with EE and 3 in the Uk I need unlimited data for work etc so I have my phone on contact I’ve just made the move to iPhone for this reason and the free upgrades
I still use my mi 8 daily as my media phone as home/android tv box and still very much love the company I only made the switch for the free upgrade, your phone has to be in good condition to qualify but many of my friends have had the new iPhone for free every year thanks to these contracts
and made contact!
This is out of the topic but what tablet are you using?
Based Xiaomi
All specs aside, lack of beauty editing features in Xiaomi devices. Focusing problem in night. So much noise in night shots. Currently using Poco X3 NFC and Mi Note 10 Lite. And no Steady Mode available in Mi Note 10 Lite even its available in cheaper Xiaomi phones
Samsung and Apple reduced features and innovation too, and the xiaomi is cheaper BTW.
Hey buddy still waiting for you to provide evidence on your claim that msg is bad it’s been 87 days
Everyone will do this unless we stop buying the phones.
The last time I bought a phone based on specs, I got burnt by the poorer user experience.
Xiaomi sells good devices but fuck them over with updates. I have had too many such experiences. These specs do not matter if your phone is lagging, restarting randomly. Not gonna buy a xiaomi again.
Then buy one god damn.
Why on earth you need to produce so much e-waste just to have a charger with it?
Everyone has a smartphone for the last 10 years so by now everyone should have a bunch of chargers. If not buy one you like.
Even if it’s a 10W charger you still have a good charger. Only because you can you should not always choose fast charging since it’s not that Good for your capacity of the battery. But I think that’s doesn’t matter at all because everyone here is switching chargers and phones every year.
Have fun when Xiaomi will toss the charger out next year.
How cringe you have to be to hype a company that needs to compare themself to Apple just to sell something. If you don’t have a unique selling point what’s your point of existing then? So you are better because of a included charger? Wow the phone Must be boring
I love that phone! Unfortunately, mine had battery issues after coming back from China to the US. Such a great device I miss, though.
Or I can buy a phone that comes with its own quick charger. Especially if it uses a proprietary charging method. I doubt the 25W-55W charging Xiaomi uses on their devices is standard Qualcomm QC.
>Have fun when Xiaomi will toss the charger out next year.
Don’t worry, I’m not stupid enough to buy a flagship. Midrangers will always ship with a charger, just like they still have headphone jacks and SD card slots 😉
>Everyone has a smartphone for the last 10 years
The fuck did I just read
>because everyone here is switching chargers and phones every year
Reddit is not the phone market. If you truly gave a shit about the environment you would not buy a new phone in the first place.
Yes unfortunately
“free”
I’ve been using Xiaomi for a couple of years, Pocophone and now Mi9T Pro, and honestly, MIUI user inteface has gotten a lot better, very smooth, and very logical, compared to my iPad Air 2 , with iOS12.
I honestly detest not having “swipe for “back”” feature on iOS, having to use other hand to tap back button in upper left corner is so old.
The animations are very smooth, and in some cases, better than on iOS, I haven’t had a single bug. The thing most people mention is those famous “ads” in system apps, which depend on a region you choose and can be disabled throughout system in 3 minutes. I am very satisfied. Twice they’d responded to my feature request in matter of weeks. (one was AQI air pollution in Weather app, the other was feature request in calendar)
I honestly can’t tell a single thing that’s worse than on iOS, nowadays. (ok, camera quality is maybe a notch worse… or not)
I’ve been using Xiaomi too.
Redmi Note 4 (S625 / 3GB & 4GB) → Redmi Note 5 Pro → Poco F1 → Mi 9T → Poco F2 Pro
Without taking the midrange/flagship chipsets into account, do you know what they have in common?
Lots of dropped frames in games, and keeping apps paused in the background is basically a lottery.
And yet, an iPhone 8 Plus which is 3 years older and has less than half the RAM of my Xiaomi manages to do that most of the time without any issues.
Maybe this isn’t a priority to most people but it seriously bothers me a lot.
You and I both now that it’s not about enviroment, it’s about the profit margin. These are just fairytales for the masses.
The 30W USB-C Power Adapter ($49) , that iP12 supports, you don’t have one (all iPhones before came with 5W to 18W chargers, iPads with 10W to 20W) and you’ll have to buy one if you want to have fast charging. It’s also rare that those come with usb-c on charger side, so you’ll have to buy the one from Apple.

I’ve been fast-charging my Android phone for the last three years. And having under-screen fingerprint reader, that Apple rumours say will “maybe” be implemented in iP13. And been having a pop-up front camera with no notch. And having OLED screen …. All of this for 370$.
Apple has some good points, but this is not one of them. The other thing they’ve ruined, because everyone copied, is the laptop keyboard quality.
And the user experience wise, Android is on level with iOS for quite some time. It’s not 2016 when the difference between Android and iOS was about 20-30% very noticable in favour of iOS, it’s now about 0.5% difference in favour of iP12 Pro, compared to any mid-range Android phone. That is 3x cheaper.
Big dick move
lol im still running on my redmi note 5 (india) from like 2018. still runs perfectly fine, and i can play most games with 60 fps +
Apple Car model 1 : You have to ship it to authorised shop for repair. Can’t be repaired – have to be replaced. Replace windshield viper with off-brand one – can’t start the car. Can’t close the door – you’re doing it wrong.
are you only allowed to have certain system apps on your phone in india? i heard the indian government blacklisted some xiaomi system apps but idk if its true or not.
my heart is with those lost in the glacier flood..
im not too sure since i live in the uk, im indian but i was born in the uk. my dad bought me the phone when he was coming back from india in 2018.
yeah the glacier flood was a unfortunate event, and the fact that my dad went there to do hiking last year or so gives me chills
Hmmm … I’m playing a lot of “puzzle” and low demanding games, but played a little bit of Asphalt and PUBG, and haven’t noticed frame drop. But I didn’t play enough to test that.
And yes, having apps shut down in background is a drag, but once you have a hang of it, you tweak it to your liking with “battery saver” feature.
I have Apple TV4, too, and there’s no comparing it to ANY Android TV Box …. It’s a beast, and a pretty great casual gaming console, too. I honestly don’t get why gaming on ATV4 didn’t get traction, I used to play a lot of games on it when I bought it, what, 3 -4 years ago.
I’ve still got my MiMax2
Yeah, £50/month free, you know the one…
Yeah, iPhone users are very generous, they also give Apple their life savings and granny!!
Never had that problem
I pay £36 a month and most of that is paid by my work I don’t see the issue
The good old “I had a problem with one device, now the whole company sucks” attitude.
I have a used 3 xiaomi devices till now, specifically A series.
My mother and sister have used 2 xiaomi devices each till today. All devices did not age well. Problems are usually with buggy software and poor update management. So roll your judgement and shove it up your ass.
Sure its about the margin nobody does anything for the environment only but still it profits from it. You can ship more phones with less energy and you produce way less E-Waste. You can use one Phone for the hole World because they is no difference anymore The manufactors can produce one package for all no need to design it for every country with a special socket. This are numbers wich can‘t be denied if you can‘t see the benefits i am really sorry for you. Sure its nice to have a 55W GaN Charger but it has only one port so its not that cool of a charger. I have a 65W GaN Charger with 4 Ports so i don‘t even bother and do not take out the charger at all. And this is not only me doing so. They are really huge numbers of people not using the charger in the Box and thats a huge amount of waste. So if i have to decide if i have all this benefits or a charger in the Box even if apple or Samsung profit from it decide for the Environment.
See it like this. Tesla is not making Electric Cars because of the Environment, heck they just want to do business and maybe could not care less. But in the long term buying one benefits the environment and i doubt you want anytime a new Chargingstation for your new Tesla when you already have one because you are paying for it they not gonna give it to you for free, but if you don‘t have one there is an option for you to buy your first one.
> Reddit is not the phone market. If you truly gave a shit about the environment you would not buy a new phone in the first place.
Thanks bro i am on a iPhone X and not really plan to upgrade till this thing is totally broken wich right now its not even close.
Still the majority of people upgrade there phone every 1-2 years.
I care about the environment and don‘t need a charger i don‘t need. And i think they should not be included. There is a research that a really huge number of people not use the charger that came in the Box because they allready have enough. Heck the 55W GaN even has only one Port, they are chargers out there with 65W GaN and 4 Ports.
You can ship more phones with less energy and you produce way less E-Waste. You can use one Phone for the hole World because they is no difference anymore The manufactors can produce one package for all no need to design it for every country with a special socket. This are numbers wich can‘t be denied if you can‘t see the benefits i am really sorry for you. I don‘t care if Samsung or Apple profit from it the environment still benefits from it.

Then why are you using the “it’s for the environment” excuse even though you know it is bullshit?
Because the environment still profits from it by god are you dumb? Did you read what i wrote?
Its true that I have a bunch of old chargers lying around but none of them are compatible with the new fast charging standards of 2020.
The Mi9 did not come with a 120 watt charger.
Yes. I’ve turned everything off and apps are still being killed. RAM management is bad.
Possibly but I have suffered enough so will prefer a safe bet
u/savevideo
“Ha! Apple removed the headphone jack!”
No jack in the S21
u/savevideo
Samsung be like: We have a charger in the box unlike Apple!
The S21 comes with no charger
