If you remember, Xiaomi was the one that started the trend of omitting earphones from retail packages and many manufacturers nowadays also follow its path. In 2015, it is likely that Xiaomi will start another trend, perhaps omitting the phone charger!

In fact, we are living in a world that one person has more than just one smart device on average. And each machine is accompanied with chargers, yet people are tending to spend on standalone ones. So, there must be some adapters obsolete. Of course we know that producing chargers increases costs of a phone package and affects the environment. Those can be the reason why Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun is considering shipping Xiaomi phones without chargers, which will even make Xiaomi devices much more affordable. However, some other opinions state that if that is the case, they will have to buy chargers if their own one cannot fit the new handset. The point is that will it cost more or less?

Personally, we would like to have one charger fitting all the devices. As a result, when travelling, we just have to bring one for everything. Another good point is that if we buy new phone, we can use the old charger. That would be more convenient, right?!

Nonetheless, omitting chargers is still a plan or just the CEO’s thinking. And even if it turns out to be true, it might take a long period of time to implement. What do you feel about this? Do you think you’d like to buy a charger-free smartphone with a cheaper price?
