Xiaomi is a giant when it comes to offering the fastest charging system.they have both wired and wireless solutions for their devices. In the past, it has already released its 50W wireless charging technology with the Mi10 Ultra last August 2020 which is capable of charging a 4,500 mAh battery in just a span of 40 minutes.
Now, it's set to launch its fastest ever which is the 80W wireless charging system. As The Verge reports, the new 80W wireless solution is described as a charging system that is able to charge a 4,000 mAh battery fully only in a span of about 19 minutes. This will be the fastest ever, even for its competitors such as Huwawei who also offers a 50W charging solution for its users.
Xiaomi 80W Wireless Charging Now in Verification Stage
Recently a reliable leak from Digital Chat Station posts an update in Weibo regarding the 80W by saying "The 80W* wireless tested by the new flagship is in the verification stage. If it goes well, there is hope to see mass production machines in the first half of the year." Currently, Xiaomi is on the stage of testing their fastest every charging solution.
It's also unclear as to which phone Xiomi will debut its 80W charger. As Android Headline Reports, Xiaomi is expected to launch the Mi 11 Pro for February 2021. In the best case scenario, when the testing for the latest battery solution is done by then, the 80W may bundle with the Mi 11 Pro. However, this is just a calculated guess. No official information has been released yet.
Ultra-Fast Charging May be Detrimental to Battery Health
The 80W is not entirely new from Xiaomi. Back in October, they showcased the 80W wireless charger in a demo. The demo showcases a device with 4000 mAh battery that was fully charged using the 80W for only 19 minutes. This technology is a cutting-edge innovation in wireless charging.However, it has raised eyebrows for some tech enthusiasts.
According to Android Headline, it also has its downsides. Having an ultra high speed charger may be detrimental to your device. When you charge your battery often with an ultra high speed charger, the battery may deteriorate over time.
This means that although the 80W charger may be very useful, especially for certain emergency situations when you need them, this may not be a healthy device to use all the time. This just goes to show that there's always a tradeoff for anything good, and ultra high speed chargers are not an exception.
However, the company has not released any full and complete specs and function yet. There are also no updates as to whether they have added a safety jacket for their charging system. We are still yet to hear from the company. Hopefully, they will be able to find the way to keep the charging speed fast while maintaining the integrity of the device's battery.
