Xiaomi announced the Mi Charge Turbo 30W wireless charging technology at an event in China today. The new charging solution takes wireless charging speeds to new levels, making it even faster than the company’s own wired charging technology. At the same event, Xiaomi also revealed a couple of wireless charging accessories that are in the works.
The first one is the Xiaomi Mi 30W wireless charging stand. The charger comes in an all-white design and is relatively thin. It acts as a dock for your smartphone and features a quiet fan inside. It can wirelessly charge your phone at 30W using the Qi wireless charging standard.

The second product is even more interesting. It supports the company’s current 20W wireless charging standard and comes in at a relatively thick form factor. It’s almost as thick as a book! However, there are a few features that sets it apart. First, this charger is said to come with a smart wireless charging tracking technology. This technology can locate and match the receiving wireless charging coil on your phone with the transmitter coil inside the charger. This ensures that your phone will start charging the moment it is placed on the charger, irrespective of its position. This teaser video (taken from Weibo) actually explains it perfectly.
Further, this 20W Mi wireless charger supports OOB pairing (Out of Box) which is fast and brings security and stability while charging wirelessly. From the image, we can also discern that this 20W smart wireless charger will have a small display that shows the current time as well as the power output.
Xiaomi hasn’t revealed a release date or pricing for these two wireless charging products, but expect it to be present at the Xiaomi Mi 9 5G launch that should happen sometime in the coming weeks.
