In May 2021, Xiaomi announced its 200W wired and 120W wireless HyperCharge technology. While there is no update on the 120W wireless tech, it seems that Xiaomi may soon launch a new smartphone with 200W HyperCharge technology. The reason is that Xiaomi’s 200W charger has received approval from the 3C authority of China.
As seen in the screengrab below, a new power adapter with model number MDY-13-EU has bagged certification from China’s 3C regulatory body. The certification reveals that the new Xiaomi charger supports maximum charging speeds of 20V / 10A (200W). It is backwards compatible with 5V3A, 9V3A, 11V6A, and 17V10A charging. The 3C certification is a good hint that Xiaomi may soon launch a phone with 200W fast charging support in the coming weeks.
Xiaomi’s 200W HyperCharge technology promises to charge a smartphone in less than 10 minutes. Earlier this year, Xiaomi demoed its 200W charging solution on the Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra, which houses a 4,500mAh battery. A 200W charger can charge a smartphone with a 4,000mAh battery to 50 percent capacity in 3 minutes, and a full charge takes another 5 minutes.
While it is unclear when exactly Xiaomi will announce a smartphone with 200W charging support, iQOO is all set to become the world’s first smartphone to launch a phone with 200W charging support. iQOO has recently confirmed the upcoming iQOO 10 will support 120W fast charging, whereas the iQOO 10 Pro will arrive with 200W fast charging technology.
Xiaomi is expected to launch the Xiaomi MIX 5 flagship phone in the second half of this year. Last year’s Xiaomi MIX 4 carried support for 120W charging. Hence, it remains to be seen whether the MIX 5 will be made available with 200W HyperCharge technology.
