Yesterday, a Chinese blogger revealed real photos of the Xiaomi 11 packaging box. The box might not include a charger, as its size is very similar to that of the iPhone 12 box.
Today, Lei Jun officially confirmed that the Xiaomi 11 series will no longer include a charger in the packaging. He explained that the reason for removing the charger is consistent with the rationale previously given by Apple.
Lei Jun stated: ‘In response to the call for technology and environmental protection, the charger has been removed from the packaging box. I hope to get your support.’
The CEO also revealed information about the phone’s speakers. The Xiaomi 11 series will feature stereo speakers developed in collaboration with Harman Kardon. He also pointed out that the Xiaomi 11 has achieved another breakthrough in sound quality.
In the past, many bloggers predicted that smartphone manufacturers would follow Apple’s lead and not include chargers. Some rumors even claimed that Samsung might follow this trend. It is reported that the Galaxy S21 series will also not come with a charger.
It was previously reported that the Xiaomi 11 will be the world’s first device to feature the Snapdragon 888 5G chipset. For more information about the Xiaomi 11 series, please refer to our previous articles.
