In May this year, innovative Chinese tech giant, Xiaomi announced its innovative ultra-fast charging technology, aptly named HyperCharge. The charging concept of the Hypercharge was demonstrated with a Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro device that sports a 4,000mAh battery. The results announced by Xiaomi indicated that the HyperCharge technology was able to offer 200W wired charging from zero to 100% in a new world record of 8 minutes. On the other hand, the HyperCharge also produced 120W wireless charging to the Mi 11 Pro from zero to 100% in 15 minutes, a world record for wireless charging.
A new report monitored in China (via MyDrivers) indicates that the Xiaomi HyperCharge could debut in a smartphone as early as 2022, when mass production is scheduled to commence by June 2022. The innovative technology will most likely debut with one of the flagships from one of the 2022 flagships from Xiaomi. As per the report, the HyperCharge could come with the launch of the Xiaomi Mi 12 Ultra.
After the May 2021 demonstration of the HyperCharge on a Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro smartphone, several key questions were asked about the device’s technology. It was also shown that the battery power, based on computations, would decline by 20% after 800 cycles of the HyperCharge fast charging.
There were also concerns about whether the HyperCharge technology could apply to other devices outside the Mi range. There is a race by both smartphone manufacturers and accessories makers for the ultimate charging device for super-fast charging and minimal decline in battery life. Current charging speeds are between 30 minutes and up to two hours. Manufacturers have continued to push the boundaries in charging speeds, and the stated world records of Xiaomi both for wired and wireless charging could be breached soon.
