Xiaomi Mi 100W Wireless Charging Stand specifications

It is interesting to note that even the Mi Mix 4, Mi 11 Ultra and the Mi 11 Pro, which offer the fastest wireless charging across the company’s portfolio will only be able to charge at a maximum rate of 67W (with a lower 50W rate for the Mi Mix 4). This means that the former should be able to charge fully within half an hour, according to the report.

In terms of charging safety, the report states that the Mi 100W Wireless Charging Stand adds a new feature called current calibration, in addition to features like under-voltage protection, over-temperature protection, over-current protection, over-voltage protection, electrostatic protection and foreign body detection. The charging station is also angled in a way that allows vents at the bottom of the device that comes with a dynamic fan for cooling.
