Smartphones have become an indispensable part of our lives. Today, we use these devices for everything from basic communication to financial transactions, which is why they are always within reach. However, regardless of the brand, the weakest and slowest developing part of our phones is undoubtedly the battery. Although manufacturers compensate for this situation with ever-increasing fast-charging technologies, it is not accurate to say that battery capacities have increased much in the last 10 years. Fortunately, Xiaomi has taken an important step to address this issue. Here are the details…
Prototype Xiaomi 13 unit offers 6,000 mAh battery with breakthrough solid-state battery technology
Xiaomi has once again set the bar high for the industry with the presentation of its latest solid-state battery technology. The company claims that its solid-state batteries provide a 33% increase in capacity relative to conventional lithium-ion batteries, with no safety concerns regarding puncture-related short circuits and fires. According to the company’s Weibo account, Xiaomi has achieved 1,000 Wh/L energy density with some of its prototype batteries, significantly higher than consumer-grade batteries currently available.
The technology would enable Xiaomi 13 to offer a 6,000 mAh capacity in the same package size as the 4,500 mAh capacity currently available on the market. The solid-state battery technology not only improves capacity but also has several advantages over conventional lithium-ion batteries.
Xiaomi claims that its solid-state batteries can provide up to 20% more power than lithium-ion batteries in extreme cold, such as -20 degrees Celsius. This is particularly important for users who live in cold climates and have experienced the frustration of their phone’s battery life plummeting in freezing temperatures.
In addition, Xiaomi’s solid-state battery technology is safer than conventional lithium-ion batteries, as it eliminates the risk of puncture-related short circuits and fires. This is a significant advantage for users who may have experienced battery-related safety concerns in the past. However, Xiaomi is not yet ready to mass-produce the solid-state batteries.
It may take several years for companies like Xiaomi to pivot their entire portfolio to solid-state batteries. Nonetheless, the announcement of Xiaomi’s breakthrough solid-state battery technology is significant and marks a significant step forward in the industry’s development of more efficient and safer battery technology.
Moreover, Xiaomi has already made impressive strides in battery technology, as demonstrated by its recently launched 300 W HyperCharge technology, which can recharge a 4,100 mAh battery in just 5 minutes, setting a new standard for fast charging. While it may take several years for companies to pivot their entire portfolio to solid-state batteries, Xiaomi has once again set the bar high and demonstrated its commitment to innovation and technological advancement.
