After mocking Apple for not including a charger with the iPhone 12, Xiaomi has announced that it will not include a charger with the Mi 11.

In a post on Weibo, CEO Lei Jun said the removal would ease the burden on the environment...

-----
Xiaomi Mi 11 is officially unveiled with brand new packaging, so light and thin.
Behind the thinness, we made an important decision: in response to the call of technology and environmental protection, Xiaomi 11 canceled the random charger.

Today everyone has a lot of idle chargers, which is both your trouble and the burden of the environment. We are well aware that this decision may not be understood or even complained. Is there a better solution between industry practice and environmental protection? Next Monday, let’s talk at the #小米11# press conference
-----

Shortly after the unveiling of the iPhone 12, Xiaomi posted a short video clip touting the inclusion of a power adapter with the Mi 10T Pro.

"Don't worry, we didn't leave anything out of the box with the #Mi10TPro."

Similarly, Samsung had posted on Facebook mocking Apple's decision to not a include a charger but is now expected to follow suit as well.

IT IS STRATEGICAL, all of it, smart phones reached the highest price and can’t go any further so let’s cut on something else, the other companies follow because it’s a publicity, by doing so they make tech reporters talk about it and their name end up in the same sentence with APPLE or in the same article, which suggests the comparison between the two which suggests the two being rivals which suggests the two being at the same level which suggests you can buy either of them and you’re good to go.

It’s not like being unable to buy a charger separately and ship it to your own home is a first world problem.
