Taking advantage of Xiaomi selling Mi 11 with the “no environmental protection” option, many users tricked into getting the 55W charger without buying a smartphone.

Xiaomi has officially sold the Mi 11 in the Chinese market, this is the first time Xiaomi has not sold the charger inside its smartphone box. However, Xiaomi also offers the option if the user wants the full range of accessories, without having to pay extra fees.

According to statistics, only about 6% of Mi 11 buyers choose not to take the charger. If you choose to “not protect the environment”, users will receive a 55W charger from Xiaomi, which has a retail price of 99 yuan (15 USD) if purchased separately.

According to MyDrive, many Chinese users have taken advantage of this, to be able to own themselves the 55W rechargeable bulbs from Xiaomi, for only 0.01 yuan (0.0015 USD), without having to buy. smartphone Mi 11.

These users have chosen to order the Set Edition (bundled with the accessory). Then the sales page will list the order with two separate items. As can be seen in the image below, the order includes an 8GB / 256GB Mi 11 for 4,298.99 yuan ($ 658) and a 55W Type-C charger for 0.01 yuan (0 , 0015 USD).

After the payment and receipt of the goods, these users returned the Mi 11 smartphone and kept the 55W charger. So when they refunded they will receive 4,298.99 yuan, and the fact that they only bought a 55W charger for 0.01 yuan.

Perhaps Xiaomi will soon have to fix this flaw, by not selling two items separately when choosing Set Edition. Or will not accept a refund if the user does not include the Set Edition 55W charger.
