In recent days, Oppo announced its 150W fast charging and 240W fast charging at the Pakistan Exhibition. This charging power can fully charge a mobile phone in 9 minutes at the fastest. The company also reveals that the 150W fast charging will enter mass production in the second quarter of this year. Subsequently, OnePlus, Realme, and Oppo will launch corresponding models with this technology. In the past two years, Xiaomi has made achievements in the field of fast charging. There are also reports that the company’s upcoming flagship, Xiaomi MIX 5 will use a 150W fast charging technology.
A few hours ago, popular Weibo leakster, @DCS claims that Xiaomi is working on higher power charging. He wrote, “The current power of the large battery over 100-watt solution tested by the new flagship is 150W, but the nominal power may be higher”. Although the translation is a bit rough, he seems to suggest that Xiaomi is testing a 150W or higher charging power.
It is worth noting that this is not a technology that is still under development. He also hinted in his comments that this fast charging technology of more than 150W is likely to be mass-produced in the second half of the year.
