This morning, Xiaomi officially confirmed that they have created a new wireless charging technology that can charge phones (wirelessly) at 80W for the first time, breaking the global record for wireless charging on mobile phones.
Xiaomi claims that this new wireless charging technology can charge half of a 4000mAh battery in 8 minutes and fully charge it in just 19 minutes. This is also the third technological breakthrough achieved by Xiaomi’s wireless charging team this year.
Xiaomi has customized a more efficient wireless charging architecture and chip, independently designed a composite coil system, and adopted an MTW multi-pole fast-charging battery, dual 6C series cells, and several acceleration technologies, including multi-level converter control and MiFC fast-charging.
The wireless charging base utilizes a high-speed fan for fast charging with low heat generation. At the same time, it can still maintain more than 90% of its effective capacity after 800 full charge and discharge cycles without affecting battery health.
Currently, the Xiaomi Mi 10 Commemorative Edition is one of the smartphones on the market that supports the highest wireless charging speed (50W).
As per information revealed by Xiaomi yesterday, the wireless charging of Xiaomi mobile phones has been increased from 7.5W to 50W in August 2020 and to 80W today, which is a significant improvement.
- March 2018: Xiaomi MIX 2S 7.5W
- October 2018: Xiaomi MIX 3 10W
- February 2019: Mi 9 20W
- September 2019: Mi 9 Pro 30W
- March 2020: Technical pre-research 40W
- August 2020: Mi 10 Extreme Commemorative Edition 50W
The 80W wireless charging technology has been officially confirmed, but it has not yet been revealed which devices will support it. After launching the 50W charging technology, Xiaomi developed the faster 80W wireless charging technology in just two months.
