Here's everything you need to know about 80W Mi Wireless Charging technology
Xiaomi has officially introduced its 80W Mi Wireless Charging technology after making headway with the development of 40W and 50W fast charging standards from earlier this year. As per Xiaomi, the new 80W fast wireless charging technology can charge a 4,000mAh battery from 0-100% in just 19 minutes.
Much like other smartphone brands, Xiaomi too has been at the forefront of developing its proprietary fast-charging solutions and this next generation of wireless fast charger is a result of the increasing competition in this particular aspect of smartphones. The company currently sells a 30W wireless charger in India that it launched alongside the Mi 10, earlier this year.

Fast-forward to August 2020, Xiaomi announced its 50W fast wireless charging technology that could recharge the 4,500mah battery of the Mi 10 Ultra fully in 40 minutes.

Xiaomi has been spearheading this trend by recognizing the importance of battery life and faster charging for the future development of smartphones,” Xiaomi wrote on a blog post.
