Xiaomi did not equip its new flagships with a charging adapter. Representatives of the company announced this at the presentation of smartphones of the Mi 11 series on December 28, the correspondent reports “Lenta.ru “.
The company said in a statement that the Mi 11 flagship devices will come with a simplified kit that will lack a charging adapter. In this regard, the box with the device will be smaller than before. Xiaomi attributed this decision to environmental concerns. At the same time, earlier the Chinese corporation ridiculed Apple , which announced in the fall that it would remove the adapter from the box from the iPhone. Lei Jun, the founder of Xiaomi, has previously announced the refusal of the free accessory in the set of the following flagships in their social networks.
Xiaomi said that early buyers who pre-order the flagship smartphone will receive the adapter for free. The power of the charger will be 55 watts.
In October Apple announced that it will not bundle smartphones – like new , and those released earlier – with a free charging adapter and wired headphones. Top managers of the company announced at the presentation of the iPhone 12 that this decision is due to concern for the environment. According to the corporation, due to the reduction in the size of the box with the smartphone, more devices can be transferred at one time, which reduces the carbon footprint left from each gadget.
In mid-December, information appeared that the free adapter in the set of their own gadgets will also be abandoned Huawei and Samsung . In October, a simplified set of its smartphones was presented by LG.
