If fast charging is something that is ve3ry important to you when it comes to deciding whether you want to buy a smartphone or not, we have some good news. Xiaomi has just showcased its new 200W HyperCharge wired fast charging technology that is crazy fast.

There is also a 120W wireless charging tech that can charge a 4,000mah battery to the max in less than 15 minutes.

Xiaomi had introduced 120W wired charging and 80W wireless fast charging commercially while launching the Mi 10 Ultra recently.

Xiaomi is not the only company in the market vying for the top spot in fast charging tech. Though with its 200W tech, they are currently in the lead. Oppo, Realme are also in the race and keeping up with their versions of 125W charging tech. There is no intimation of if when we might be able to see the 120W and 200W charging tech come to Xiaomi’s smartphones commercially.
