In the future they will only sell you the box, citing environmental and ethical reasons. You need to pick your own phone, case, charger and other accessories. Manuals will all be online. In fact the box will be made out of some kind of aluminium alloy, so you buy the box only once and keep for several generations of phones. You might also be able to pay in advance for models that have future model names and numbers but don't even exist yet.

              Shame on them and shame on Apple too. Governments have to stop this nonsense behavior of these smartphone makers. Apple should be the first one to start with, they ruin the smartphone market by just increasing the price without providing the value for money. Now everyone tom, dick and harry follow their footsteps. These smartphone makers are just increasing their profit while acting as the champions of the environment.

                  Sad but true xiaomi can't follow the pace other brands, copy paste design, pricing high with no charger. Xiaomi now is down grade ranking to buy this phone.

                    Redskitter, 27 Dec 2020Xiaomi's decision is justifiable cause their devices a... moreWhen Apple "introduced" notch or camera Bump everyone"copy" it,i think positive way maybe it was "coincidence" because a lot thing beside smartphone have same design i.e car,tv,fridge,or even formula 1 design car. But to remove charger,it is hard not to say Copycat

                      I dont really care if they put charger or not but what shame is when they make fun of apple then doing the same move after that.

                        So here is a 20% more expensive phone, but as compensation you will receive it without the charger...
                        If POCO F3 Pro is not positioned in the value / money segment... Maybe I will also be leaving Xiaomi, after they went the Apple, Samsung and Huawei way with exorbitant prices for the flagship.

                        Xiaomi is still the best in the middle class, but is very fast forgetting what a flagship killer is - and Mi 8 (my current) and Mi9 were exactly that. Fast and with good cameras, close to zero compromises.

                          It is kinda a stab in the back if you make fun of apple for removing the charger (and that way you're also trying to comfort your fans that you'd never do such things like that) then do it yourself few months later. Specially for a company known for delivering the best price-quality phones. Shame xiaomi. Shame..

                                Wait, was it not Xiaomi that posted a video of the Mi 10T with only a charger in the box mocking the iPhone 12 family? How time flies

                                  Here's a joke: Capitalists caring about the environment.
                                  Here's a bigger joke: Chinese manufacturers caring about the environment.
                                  A 5 year-old kid would tell you this is ENTIRELY for saving costs and increasing the profit margins. So if you're justifying this, please stop embarrassing yourself.

                                    I'm not hating the green environment idea, but this is sketchy AF. I mean if they really care about environment, they should stop producing smartphone altogether (especially chinese brand that have like 10++ variant every year).

                                    not including charger but still produce it on regular basis kills the idea.

                                      I have an mi9 and i never used the stock charger its to fast not good for the batt
                                      I have many older chargers around
                                      I think thats future, in few years no mobile will come with charger

                                        If you really think it's better for the environment to buy a phone without a charger, better stop buying a new phone every year and keep your phone for at least 5 years. Other than that, it's ignorant.
