As per a report by Android Headlines, the latest flagship by Xiaomi, the Mi 7 will feature Wireless Charging. The company itself has confirmed the same via their official WeChat channel. The company joined the Wireless Power Consortium, the consortium for usage and development of Wireless Charging technology a while back.
