On the 8th of November, Xiaomi introduced an all new wireless charger which will be available for purchase at the company’s crowdfunding website, starting 11th of November which happens to be the Chinese Single’s Day. The latest offering is rated at 20 W and it is placed below the 30W wireless charger with a built-in fan that the company had previously launched.
In terms of looks, the 20 W wireless charger from Xiaomi has a minimalist design with a circular base and an angled back which somewhat looks similar to its power banks. It is offered in black colour that seems to have a matte finish which gives it a classic and elegant look. One highlighting feature of the power bank is that it is capable of charging smartphones in both landscape and vertical position.
Due to its design, the device also doubles as a dock which will allow the user to quickly look at incoming notifications. The 20 W wireless charger from Xiaomi is based on Qi wireless charging technology, therefore, it can also be used to charge devices compatible with this technology which includes Apple iPhones and Samsung’s Galaxy Note and S-Series of smartphones.

While it is capable of charging smart devices at 20W of maximum power, devices like the iPhone only support wireless charging at 7.5 W. Accordingly, charging times will vary based on different handsets.
Lastly, talking about the price of the 20 W wireless charger from Xiaomi, it will initially be offered at a discounted price of Yuan 79 ($11). The retail price of device is Yuan 99 ($14).
