By March end, Xiaomi had announced its 100W Super Charge Turbo technology. After its announcement, Redmi General Manager Lu Weibing had claimed that Redmi will be mass producing the 100W rapid charging technology. Xiaomi President Lin Bin has now confirmed on Weibo that the company is working hard to mass produce it.
Yesterday, a user had asked Lin Bin on Weibo on whether the company has started the mass production of 100W fast charging. Bin responded by saying that the company is working hard to mass produce it. However, he did not share a specific time frame for it.
The Xiaomi Mi 9 flagship phone that was announced in February is the only Mi phone that supports the fastest wired and wireless charging. In fact, Mi 9 is the world’s first flagship to arrive with 20W wireless charging. During the launch of the Mi 9, the company had revealed that the 27W wired charging is 37 percent faster than the conventional 18W rapid charging. Also, the 20W wireless charging is also 37 percent faster than the traditional 10W wireless charging.
At present, the highest level of wired charging has been mass produced is the Super VOOC flash charging technology developed by OPPO. It offers 50W rapid charging on devices like OPPO Find X Super Flash Edition, OPPO Find X Lamborghini Edition and OPPO R17 Pro.
Xiaomi had demonstrated that its 100W fast charging can fully charge a 4,000mAh battery in just 17 minutes. In comparison, OPPO’s 50W Super VOOC flash charging could charge a 3,700mAh battery up to 65 percent. Since If Xiaomi manages to achieve mass production of 100W Super Charge Turbo technology, it will be a huge leap in rapid charging in the smartphone industry. The company is yet to reveal how it was able to develop such a high speed charging technology.
Xiaomi may want to introduce 100W Super Charge Turbo technology on a flagship smartphone. the Mi MIX 4 is expected to arrive next major flagship phone, probably it come with support for 100W charging. In future, a Redmi phone with 100W charging will be also released. It remains to be seen whether Redmi will release such a phone this year.
