Users Found A Vulnerability To Get Xiaomi Mi 11 Charger For Less Than A Cent

Xiaomi Mi 11 has already gone on sale in mainland China and it is by far the company’s first phone to come without a charger or a USB cable, following Apple's footsteps. However, as Xiaomi offers another option that has the accessories with no extra cost, some buyers have found a way to get the charger and cable at a dirt-cheap price without actually buying the phone.

The bundle with cable and 55W Xiaomi GaN charger that otherwise costs $15 if bought separately comes with the Mi 11 for no extra charge. This has allowed some buyers to get the bundle for $0.0015 without holding onto the phone.

If users go for the Set Edition that entails the 8GB/256GB Xiaomi Mi 11, cable, and 55W Xiaomi GaN charger that comes with the price of approximately $658 (¥4299), at checkout, the bundle will be listed as two items with the Mi 11 at ¥4298.99 and the 55W GaN charger at ¥0.01 (roughly $0.0015).

This listing format has allowed some buyers to buy the charger separately at a dirt-cheap price of less than a Yuan without holding onto the phone itself. The phone went on sale on Friday so we assume that not many buyers have found the vulnerability. Some people said since it’s a bundle, there is no way Xiaomi takes the phone back without the charger.
