Xiaomi introduced flash charging. Charges the battery in 8 minutes

Company Xiaomi is the development of fast charging of smartphones ahead of the competition and last year it won first place thanks to the first charging with a power of 120 W in the Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra model. This young Chinese manufacturer now according to the portal AndroidAuthority again, he pushed the records a little further. Introduced the fastest 200 W wired and 120 W wireless charging.

Charging with cable in 8 minutes, wirelessly in 15 minutes

Xiaomi calls its charging technology HyperCharge, which she has already used when charging the Black Shark 4 gaming smartphone. The presentation video shows that the technology HyperCharge can charge a 4,000 mAh battery to 100% in 8 minutes with a power of 200 W via a USB-C cable. In the case of 120 W wireless charging, it only takes 15 minutes to fully charge the device.

The charging smartphone in the video is supposed to be the flagship model Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro, which the manufacturer introduced only recently. Wired charging will reach 50% of the battery capacity in just three minutes, the video also shows how the Mi 11 Pro model will reach 10% of the battery capacity per minute and 120% in seven minutes with 120 W wireless charging.

Extremely fast charging could produce high temperatures and degrade the battery

The video does not talk about when Xiaomi will implement its new 200 W cable and 120 W wireless HyperCharge technology on real smartphones. It is likely that the manufacturer has still not solved the fundamental problem that often occurs with such a fast charge. This could produce more heat and lead to faster degradation of the battery.

Portal AndroidAuthority recalls that last year’s 120W charger from Xiaomi was concerned about high temperatures during testing. With 200 W cable charging, excessive heat generation could be an even bigger problem. Although Xiaomi will be able to solve this problem, we will not meet her new technology in the smartphone until the second half of the year at the earliest. Probably early autumn.
