Emir BardakçıFollowing the similar move it made earlier this year, Xiaomi has silently introduced a major change with the launch of its latest Xiaomi 14T series.

This walks in line with the general industry trend of attempting to reduce electronic waste, but it will be rather surprising news for some of the Xiaomi fans out there who have been getting chargers inside the box.

Terrible decision. If I’m going to buy a cell phone without a charger in the box, I’ll buy Samsung or Apple.
Looks like it’s time to move over to another mobile phone maker……. İt was good while it lasted 😢
Downfall soon
I think this will some how be a deciding
factor that will affect purchases in Africa.
Except other brands do same. For me If I ever need to get a new phone I will go for those with charger.
Man what the hell if the middle class people had money they would have buy very expensive phone with the charger separate. What kind of environment saving is this when you need to buy the charger separate this is absolutely makes no sense any how I think it is time to find another brand with charger.
