The Chinese manufacturer said that the 200W charger can fully juice up a device with a 4,000 mAh battery in 8 minutes and the 120W wireless charger can do the same task in 15 minutes. That’s pretty fast. For reference, a OnePlus 9 Pro with a 4,500mAh battery and 65W wired charger juices up fully in 31 minutes; wireless charging takes about 43 minutes.
We’re about to redefine the charging experience with #XiaomiHyperCharge. #InnovationForEveryone pic.twitter.com/2rPrzw7BEu — Xiaomi (@Xiaomi) May 31, 2021 [Read: What’s GaN? And why’s it the next big thing in charging?] The company showed off its new tech in a video, which you can watch in the tweet below. It shows that the new wired charger can fill up 50% of the battery in just 3 minutes, and the wireless charger can achieve the same numbers in 7 minutes. Hell, I would like my phone to be charged that fast.
Too good to be true?

Earlier this year, Vivo released the iQoo7 with a 120W charger in the box that can charge the phone from 0% to 100% in just 15 minutes. When we talk about wireless charging, OnePlus is already shipping a 50W charger compatible with its latest set of phones, and Oppo showed off a 125W charger last year. Exciting times for fast charging ahead!
