Xiaomi currently holds the record for the fastest wireless charging technology. The 20W fast wireless charging technology was announced for the Mi 9 and is yet to show up in another Xiaomi device. Nevertheless, Xiaomi is set to unveil a new wireless charging technology tomorrow that is faster than the current one.
The official Weibo account for Xiaomi Mobile announced today that it will unveil a new wireless charging technology designed for the 5G era. The attached poster shows a charge-time graph where wireless charging technology surpasses wired charging in the future.
Xiaomi’s new wireless charging technology will definitely be faster than 20W but we don’t know if it will surpass Huawei’s 30W wireless charger which was certified by the FCC last month. Unfortunately, the 30W wireless charger will reportedly only charge the Mate 30 Pro at 25W.
Xiaomi is marketing this new wireless charging technology for 5G devices and it makes sense since 5G phones need bigger batteries due to the technology’s power consumption. So when it launches, we expect it to be available on Xiaomi’s upcoming 5G devices such as the Mi 9S and the Mi MIX 4 5G.
