A new Xiaomi charger with up to 55W fast charging support has received approval from the 3C authority of China. It appears that Xiaomi’s high-end phones arriving next year will come equipped with this new charger.
The new charger that has surfaced at 3C has an MDY-12-EQ model number. The chargers support charging rates such as 5V/2A, 9V/3A, 20V/2.5A, and 11V/5A. The leakster who spotted the 3C listing has claimed that the upcoming mid-to-high-end phones from Xiaomi will feature the 55W fast charger. Even Redmi phones arriving next year will feature the new rapid charger.
In February, Xiaomi launched the Xiaomi Mi 10 and Mi 10 Pro 5G smartphones. The vanilla model came with a 30W charger, whereas the Pro model came with a 50W charger. The Xiaomi Mi 10T series flagships that debuted in the second half of the year came with 33W fast charge support. The Mi 10 Ultra arrived with 120W superfast charging support.
There is a possibility that the newly spotted 55W fast charger could be first seen with the Xiaomi Mi 11 series. Rumors have it that Mi 11 series may go official as early as January 2021. It is expected to debut as China’s first phone powered by the upcoming Snapdragon 875 chipset.
Redmi is expected to unleash the Redmi K40 Pro flagship in Q1 2021. It will be succeeding the Redmi K30 Pro that came with 33W fast charging support. There is a possibility that the K40 Pro may accompany a 50W or 55W fast charger. Hopefully, the rumor mill will soon spill the charging capabilities of the upcoming Xiaomi and Redmi flagships.
