Xiaomi's 210W Fast Charging Seems To Be Ready For Primetime

Xiaomi’s 210W fast charging seems to be ready to go, and it may be included with an upcoming device. The company’s MDY-13-EU charging adapter surfaced on the 3C website, and it offers 210W charging.

Xiaomi’s 210W fast charging is ready, and may be included in a phone soon

This adapter delivers values 5V/3A, 9V/3A, 11V/6A Max, 17W/10.5A Max 20V/10.5A Max. The last one listed here can reach the aforementioned 210W charging.

Considering that this adapter already got certified, it basically means it’s ready to go. Xiaomi is probably planning to utilize it soon, and include it on one of its upcoming devices. It will almost certainly be a phone.

So, which device may include such charging? Perhaps the Xiaomi 13 Ultra? Xiaomi is expected to introduce its Xiaomi 13 flagships at the very end of this year, so… it’s possible. We’ll just have to wait and see. For the time being, we can only guess.

For those of you out of the loop, Xiaomi demonstrated 200W fast wired charging back in 2021. It used a custom version of the Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro in order to do that. That variant never went on sale, though.

The company’s 200W fast charging was able to charge the device in only 8 minutes, from 0 to 100%. Just to be clear, that device was equipped with a 4,000mAh battery.

Once this 210W charger makes it to the company’s device, it’s possible Xiaomi will market that charging as 200W charging. It remains to be seen. We’re not excluding the possibility it will be presented as 210W charging, though, of course.

The iQOO 10 Pro is already available with 200W charging

Xiaomi has some heavy competition in the charging department. The iQOO 10 Pro was released last month with 200W fast charging. It can charge up fully in under 10 minutes. OPPO also demonstrated 240W charging, which is still in development.

What do you think guys? It is necessary fast charging?

In my opinion, charge your phone at that voltage will be bad for battery life in a short time for sure…

I am stuck a little bit in the pros and cons for 200W charging. It would come in handy to charge th phone in a few minutes. Especially when your late for work and realise you forgotten to charge the phone this is awesome. Just brush your teeth, make a coffee and your mobile is good to go.

On the other side I also concerned about what this does to the battery’s life cycle. And I can hear a lot of people complaining about both, the phone and the charger will become to hot. This is a physical fact, where there is energy there is heat.

Heyo

Menguelez Man oh man that is fast charging lol. I personally agree that it’s going to have a negative impact on the battery and after a year of using it, those who bought it will be complaining about the battery not holding a charge anymore so just one more thing to complain about lol.

Like how fast do we really need?

I commented on another post about this that in my opinion, if you really can’t put your phone down long enough to let it charge for 30 minutes or an hour, there might be a bigger problem there lol.

Honestly, this seems like just a marketing gimmick. I do agree with @Matthias that in the rare occasion that you forget to charge or it doesn’t charge overnight that being able to top up before you head to work would be helpful but other than that I don’t see this as s good thing.

Menguelez

Matthias I agree totally with you

To me this just seems too much

We already have 65w to 120w chargers that can charge a 5000mah in 40 to 15 minutes, and doubling internal batteries only partially solved the damage of this high-power charging, which brings lot of heat and it’s not always needed, as I found myself really using it only when I’m running low of battery in the middle of the day. So they should definitely concentrate more on optimizing the space for more capacity and efficiency, rather than this gimmicky ultra fast charging

210W? Insane.

I also think 65W - 120W is enough. After that, you are probably just killing your battery faster. My OnePlus 8 Pro battery is already starting to die really fast and I suspect it’s cause of the fast charger that I’ve been using for the last 3 years.
