Xiaomi Mi 11 will not ship with Charger
Yes, it is a U-turn from Xiaomi policies. They followed what they used to make fun of. This October, when iPhone announced that its new iPhone 12 series phone would not be shipped with Charger, it was Samsung and Xiaomi who mocked iPhone for that. They made fun of Apple by many marketing jokes, and through ads, they showed that they are not taking out any accessories from the packing.
A month later, Samsung removed such posts and ads from social media when they announced Samsung Galaxy S21 to ship without a Charger. Now the same is happening with Chinese tech giant Xiaomi.
How Xiaomi Confirmed this Charger Removal?
Earlier, Xiaomi didn’t announce the Charger removal from packaging. But it released some of the pics of the upcoming Mi 11 on social networks. Surprisingly the package size was the same as of iPhone 12. The Xiaomi fans started asking whether this packing can contain Xiaomi fast Chargers.

Like Apple and Samsung, Xiaomi also didn’t consider the annoyance of the buyers who have to buy a new Charger with the phone if they don’t have the one.

So, You can buy them if you didn’t have fast chargers.
Will Buyers get any Advantage of this Charger Removal in Terms of Cost Price?
Guess not! As Xiaomi didn’t deliver a single word on the buyers’ compensations in terms of cost price. However, it’s a huge saving when you ship the phone without accessories. It saves the shipping price and space from accommodating more phones in that place. This shipping cost savings should be passed on to buyers. But neither Apple did so, nor Samsung set any such price cut off trend. The same will Xiaomi follow.
