Lei Jun, the CEO of Chinese phone maker Xiaomi, has confirmed that its upcoming Mi 11 phone will not come with a charger. Jun cited environmental protection as a reason for the removal of the charger from Mi 11's box and said that he's aware this decision may not go down well with a lot of customers on social media site Weibo.

While that’s a reasonable argument against providing yet another hunk of plastic that resembles all the other chargers people already have, Xiaomi joined other phone makers who jabbed fun at Apple a few months ago for not including chargers with the iPhone 12.

Jun revealed the design of Mi 11's retail box, which is not only thinner compared to other phones' boxes that come with a charger but also has a few features of the Mi 11 written on it: 108MP camera, Super AMOLED screen, HDR10+ certification, and audio tuning by Harman Kardon. Additionally, Jun made the remarks on Chinese social media site Weibo, saying people have many chargers which creates an environmental burden, and therefore the company was canceling the charger for the Mi 11. 

Xiaomi tweeted “didn’t leave anything out of the box” for its Mi 10T Pro, adding a short video clip that shows a Mi 10T box with a charger inside shortly after iPhone 12 launched. 

Apple’s decision not to include chargers with the iPhone 12 was met with some mockery, and competitors like Samsung reminded customers in an ad that charging bricks were “included with your Galaxy.” That Galaxy ad has apparently been deleted, however, as talks continue to grow that Samsung won’t include a charger with its forthcoming Galaxy S21 phones.

Huawei is allegedly planning to sell parts of its Honor smartphone business in a deal that can rake in CNY 25 billion (roughly Rs 27,251 crore). The company is battling business snags outside China that emerged after the US ban, which is why it seems no longer keen on continuing on its Honor phone business that targets affordable price segments, unlike Huawei’s high-end phone business. Interestingly, Xiaomi -- Huawei’s biggest rival -- might end up buying Honor business.

According to a Reuters report, Huawei is talking to Digital China Group and other suitors to sell a fraction of its Honor phone business. Honor brand is focused on budget-conscious customers. In India, Huawei pitted Honor against the likes of Redmi, Realme, and Motorola that are popular in this price segment. Not just the smartphones, Honor began selling its laptops, tablets, and audio products in India for affordable prices, but Huawei seems uninterested in taking this business forward.

Huawei is still to finalize the assets that it will sell for the Honor brand, but these could include the Honor brand, research, and development arm, and related supply chain management business, said the report citing people familiar with the matter. Huawei is looking for an all-cash sale that might fetch a smaller amount, somewhere between CNY 15 billion and CNY 25 billion, according to the report.

Digital China has emerged as the top runner for this deal. It is the main distributor for Honor phones in China. But there are other potential buyers that could bid for Honor’s business, including China’s electronics manufacturing company TCL and, its biggest rival, Xiaomi. But nothing is confirmed about who is making inroads with Huawei over the Honor business deal.
Huawei, Xiaomi, Digital China, and TCL declined to comment on what is happening about Honor’s business.

Following the 50W wireless fast charging of the Mi 10 Ultra, Xiaomi has once again set a new record for wireless fast charging. Today, Xiaomi wireless charging crossed the 80-watt mark for the first time, breaking the global mobile phone wireless charging record.

On the morning of October 19, Xiaomi officially announced a new global record for wireless charging of mobile phones, and Xiaomi crossed the 80W mark for the first time. Only two months later, it surpassed the 50W mass production record of the Xiaomi 10 Ultra.

It is understood that the Xiaomi 80W Wireless fast charging can charge a 4000mAh battery to 50% charge in 8 minutes and full in 19 minutes, which is the highest known charging speed and power wireless charging. From the official data released, the charging speed of Xiaomi 80W wireless second charge is fully comparable to some wired fast charging, such as the common 44W, 65W, and other high power wired charging.

The following is the development history of Xiaomi wireless charging

• 2018.03 Xiaomi launches its first 7.5-watt wireless charging in China
• The Xiaomi Mi MIX 2S was the first phone in China to support wireless charging, debuting with 7.5 watts of wireless charging.
• The later released Xiaomi Mi MIX 3 boosted the wireless charging power to 10 watts.
• 2019.02 Xiaomi launches world’s first 20-watt wireless fast charge
• Xiaomi Mi 9 is the world’s first 20-watt wireless fast-charging phone, leading the mobile phone wireless charging industry into a new stage of practical and useful.
• 2019.09 Xiaomi’s world’s first 30-watt wireless flash charge
• Xiaomi Mi 9 Pro’s world premiere 30-watt wireless flash charge shortens the charging time of the 4000mAh battery by about an hour, comparable to mainstream wired charging speeds.
• And then released the Mi 10 series, the continuation of the 30-watt wireless flash charging technology, not only to improve the charging experience in the 5G era but also to make convenient charging in multiple scenarios possible.
• 2020.03 Xiaomi releases its first 40-watt wireless flash charge.
• Xiaomi’s exclusive 40-watt wireless + MI-FC flash charge technology, charging 57% in 20 minutes, about 2280mAh; full 4000mAh in 40 minutes, continuing to maintain the industry’s fastest charging record.
• 2020.08 Xiaomi launches the world’s first 50-watt wireless second charge
• With a 50-watt wireless second charge, the large 4500mAh battery can be charged to 100% in 40 minutes, charging even faster than wired charging of the same power.
