In a new post on the Chinese social network Weibo, Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun revealed the packaging of the brand’s new device, mentioning that it is particularly light and thin. While it might seem particularly strange for a CEO to post about a new phone’s box rather than the device itself, there’s actually an underlying explanation for that: The main reason the packaging is thin and light is because it has been stripped of the usual. charger that normally comes with the phone.
Like Apple and Samsung flagships, Xiaomi’s next phone will ship without a wall charger. In his post, Lei Jun mentions that people have unused chargers at home, which he calls harmful to the environment, and uses as the main argument to explain why the company left with the charger.
Having said that, Ice universe says the company is expected to treat customers differently than Apple, possibly hinting at a potential coupon or discount for customers who would still need a brick loader. This might make sense, since the company publicly mocked rivals for shelving the Charger in October.
Hopefully we’ll know more about the device and charger options tomorrow during the company’s conference.
