A Welcome Anomaly: Why Xiaomi Still Gives You the Goods (Yes, Even the Charger)

Remember when unboxing a new phone meant you actually got, you know, everything you needed to get started? A charger, a cable, maybe even a simple case? Well, in this brave new world of tech, those days often feel like a distant memory, don't they? So, imagine our slight surprise – and, honestly, a fair bit of relief – to see what's actually tucked inside the box of the shiny new Xiaomi 14.

The internet, bless its heart, has been buzzing with a recent unboxing video for the smaller, but no less significant, Xiaomi 14. And what did we find? Not just the sleek device itself, which is a given, but a rather generous suite of accessories. For starters, there’s a proper 90W charger; not a piddly little brick, but something genuinely capable of juicing up your new phone at impressive speeds. You also get a transparent protective case, which, let's be honest, saves you an immediate trip (or online order) to find one. And, naturally, a USB-A to USB-C cable to tie it all together. It’s a complete package, dare I say it, a bit of a throwback.

Now, if you're thinking, 'Well, what about its bigger sibling?' — the Xiaomi 14 Pro, you'd be pleased to know that it ups the ante even further. That one, folks, reportedly ships with an even mightier 120W charger. Xiaomi, it seems, has been rather consistent with this strategy; remember the Xiaomi 13 and 13 Pro? They too came bundled with their respective power adapters. It's almost as if they understand that people actually need these things.

In a landscape where major players, and you know who I'm talking about here – the Apples and the Samsungs of the world – have largely decided that chargers are optional extras, sold separately, sometimes for a pretty penny, Xiaomi's approach feels... refreshing. They're not just providing a piece of hardware; they're providing convenience. They're saying, 'Here, we thought of everything,' which, for once, feels genuinely considerate rather than a calculated cost-saving measure dressed up as environmentalism.

So, while some brands are busy telling us to reuse our old adapters (which, sure, has its merits, but let's be real, not everyone has a compatible spare lying around), Xiaomi is simply getting on with it, offering a full, ready-to-go experience right out of the box. It’s a subtle move, perhaps, but one that speaks volumes about consumer focus, and honestly, might just win them a few more fans in the long run. After all, who doesn't appreciate a brand that gives you what you need, without making you jump through hoops?
