Xiaomi had revealed the original retail box of the Mi 11 a few days back. The box looks thin and the same as the boxes of the Apple iPhone 12 series on which the company confirmed that they will not include a charging adapter in the box of the Mi 11 lineup. This ignited a spark of discussion where everyone seems to judge the step taken by the company and many claimed Xiaomi has blindly copied the steps of Apple.
In the meanwhile, @yabhishekhd shared an image revealing that Xiaomi had different plans for this “no charger in the box” topic. The image shared by the tipster shows that the company wants to give the chargers for some select variants for free but there is a catch.
According to the tipster, the company will ask the customers buying the glass variant of the Mi 11 if they want any charger or not. In that case, if they want it then Xiaomi will provide the charger for free. Whereas, Xiaomi will provide chargers to the customers who will buy the Plain Leather version of the Mi 11 for free without asking any question.
As per Lei Jun, due to “environment protection,” Xiaomi has taken this step by excluding the charging adapter from the retail box of Mi 11. This acclamation has also been backed up by an argument claiming that the smartphone users who will buy the phone will also have charging adapters at home received from their previous phone box. So, an addition to the adapter will be meaningless at this point. So the company does not want to create more burden on the environment and this making the box slimmer so that fewer materials will be used in the process of manufacturing and causing less harm to the environment.
As of now, most of the companies are thinking of this solution for creating less burden on the environment thus putting a step forward to protect it. We have seen Apple and now Xiaomi, even Samsung may follow this step. We don’t know which company will do it next, but we do want to know is there any better solution for protecting the environment other than excluding the charger from the box of new phones?
