Does the power button on your Xiaomi or Redmi phone breaks or not work properly? Unlike most Samsung Galaxy phones and iPhone that have a physical home button which can also be used to wake up the phone, Xiaomi and Redmi phones do not have one. When the power button does not work, we can’t wake up the phone. Luckily there are some settings in the MIUI we can tweak to wake up Xiaomi Redmi phone without power key.
