If you want to buy a Xiaomi cell phone in the future, you should pay close attention to the scope of delivery of the smartphone. Not all, but the first smartphones do not have a power supply unit. Similar to Samsung, Xiaomi is now removing the chargers bit by bit. This causes additional costs for you if you no longer have an old power supply unit.
Xiaomi sometimes no longer includes a power supply with cell phones
Until now, you had absolutely nothing to worry about when buying a Xiaomi cell phone. While Samsung, Apple and many other manufacturers are now saving on accessories such as the power supply, Xiaomi has always included everything. Sometimes you even got cases. But the carefree days are clearly over. Yesterday I noticed that the power adapter is no longer included everywhere when I reported on the new Xiaomi cell phones Poco M5 and M5s.

What you have to pay attention to when buying a Xiaomi cell phone
If you want to buy a new Xiaomi cell phone, you should now look at the scope of delivery at the latest. Xiaomi always states exactly what is included on its own website.

At least that’s how it was with Apple, Samsung and other companies. In the transition period you have to look carefully.
