Bad news: More phones are shipping without a charger now

The Xiaomi 14T Pro doesn’t ship with a charger in the box.

Xiaomi’s statement suggests that the European Common Charger Directive could be to blame for this decision.

The company would be joining Apple, Google, OnePlus, and Samsung in not offering a bundled charger for high-end phones.

We’ve seen a trend for Android OEMs to drop the in-box charger from their high-end phones ever since Apple did it several years ago. Xiaomi previously flirted with this decision, but it’s now dropped the bundled charger with its latest flagship Android phone.

We can confirm that our Xiaomi 14T Pro doesn’t ship with a phone charger in the box, only coming with a USB-C cable and a protective case.
