If Apple make an iphone with circle-shaped screen, be sure xiaomi does the same.
Just like Samsung , they have fetish for Apple.

I'm sure they won't cut down the prices of the charger.
They suppose to make money by not include the charger and sell it seperately.
But I'm also sure all these companies will see poor sales and obviously will need to reduce launched prices within short period of time.
Obviously oneplus, oppo, Vivo, Realme, Scamsung all of these bs companies will follow the suit shamelessly. But consumers plz don't buy der phones at launched prices. Teach 'em lesson.
Hope Huawei atleast include d charger even without gms.

"We want to reduce packaging so we'll just put the charger in another box!" Make it make sense! Most people have a normal charger not a fast charger so they'll have to buy one anyway if they want the newest charging technology. Not a good look for Xiaomi.

I love how both Xiaomi and Samsung made fun of Apple and now they will follow suit.
These companies doing these things are a joke compared to Apple.

AnonD-972548, 26 Dec 2020In the end all companies will follow this trend. Exactly ho... moreExactly how it happen with headphone jack? Tell that to Sony and LG. If you really say the headphone jack is dead, why Sony is bringing it back for the Xperia 1 ii and Xperia 5 ii? They could have just carried on not putting it just like they did with the XZ2 series, XZ3, Xperia 1, and Xperia 5, especially considering just how popular their Bluetooth headphone. As for LG, I never saw them removing the headphone jack on their mainstream generic phones, especially for their flagship-tier V series model.
If both Sony and LG follow this same Apple-trendsetting footstep, that's about it - I definitely lose my faith in smartphone industry.

He probably didn't it because of the backlash he anticipates.
Did not compare apples to oranges -pun intended. Unlike Apple, Xiaomi accesories are cheap. They sell a 20W charging brick at equivalent of 6 USD, on the other hand 20W Apple charger costs 19USD. You can get a 65W charger from Xiaomi from 15 USD.
Give the benefit of doubt of the creator of Poco F2 Pro and Mi 10T Pro.

That first paragraph couldn't be any truer. I rather wish that Android OEM would follow Apple's footstep of making small-sized smartphones instead of embracing the notch, removing the still-super-useful 3.5mm audio jack, and not including a charger in the box. Let's not forget that if you want Xiaomi's super fast 120W charging rate, you still have to buy a separate accessory for it. Don't bother with third-party OEMs - I don't see anyone doing it.

Another thing Samsung/Apple ruined, after :
*Notch.
*Punch hole.
*Curved edge display.
*Removal of the 3.5mm Jack.
*Poor camera setup.
*Ugly camera arrangement.
*Useless camera Mp race no one else follow.
*Lack of biometric evolution.
*Bloatwares.
Etc...
Now, smartphones with fast charging capabilities but without the charger.
The smartphone industry is a joke, only beaten by the printer industry.

Congratulations Xiaomi. You are always trying your best to be the next Apple and still fail. U know why? Because you guys follow them blindly. Even the excuse is the same. And yes, I'm typing this from my Mi9se, and I WAS proud to use Xiaomi. Now not so much anymore.
The missing 3.5mm jack, the MIUI, the control center, the design of your phone, especially Mi8 and Redmi Note 5/6 families, and now the stupid decision to remove the charging brick. And u dare said that Mi11 will use the same quick charging tech as Mi10 Ultra, and asking us to buy the stupid brick separately. Thank you Xiaomi.
Not going to buy your phones anymore. No point in supporting companies who looks up to Apple's derriere.
