Xiaomi is hosting a launch event in China on 24th September where the company will be launching a few products, including the Mi 9 Pro 5G — the company’s second 5G-enabled smartphone in its home market. One of the features we’ve heard a lot about is the device’s fast charging capabilities, and it turns out even Lei Jun has something to say about it.

The founder of Xiaomi has gone to Weibo, revealing the charge times for the new device. According to Lei Jun, Xiaomi’s 40W wired fast charging will bring the phone from 0% to 100% in a mere 48 minutes, fairly impressive. Meanwhile, the 30W wireless charging also works remarkably fast, going from 0% to 100% in 69 minutes, nice.

Additionally, the phone also supports 10W reverse wireless charging, making it the first flagship smartphone from the company this year to support reverse wireless charging. This means that the phone can be used to power other devices like headphones, watches, razors and electric toothbrushes, or even your friend’s device if you’re feeling generous.

We are eagerly waiting for the 24th to arrive so that we finally get a proper glimpse at Xiaomi’s Mi 9 Pro 5G and, more interestingly, the Mi MIX 4 5G. We can also expect Xiaomi to unveil the latest version of MIUI at the event, that being MIUI 11. Until then, stay tuned on Gizmochina for any updates regarding Xiaomi and the upcoming launch.
