As expected, Xiaomi has today officially announced its latest wireless charging technology, which is also the world’s fastest wireless charging, rated at 80W. This makes it the third major development from the company this year in terms of wireless charging technology.

The company claims that the technology can charge a 4,000mAh battery in just 19 minutes and it takes around eight minutes to reach the halfway mark in terms of charging.

Prior to this, the fastest wireless charging technology from Xiaomi was 50W in the Mi 10 Ultra smartphone that was launched in August this year. Prior to that, in March this year, the company had showcased its 40W wireless charging technology.

When it comes to wireless charging technology, Xiaomi has come a long way. The Chinese company had first introduced support for wireless charging in Mi MIX 2S, which had support for only 7.5W. The Mi MIX 3was launched with support for 10W and it was bumped up to 20W in the Mi 9 flagship smartphone in 2019.

Recently, it was also reported that the company is working on a 100W fast charging technology that would go official next year. We expect this super-fast charging technology to be available in the company’s next-generation flagship smartphone and could be made official before the launch of the phone.
