Spend less time charging your phone with new Xiaomi tech
Chinese tech company, Xiaomi, has shared that one of
its smartphones reaches 100% full charge in eight minutes.
Darren Maule usually takes about the same amount of time to make a cup of coffee when a double play airs – eight full minutes. That is how long this new smartphone takes to fully charge from low battery at 0% to 100%.
The phone in question is a modified Mi 11 Pro and Xiaomi says it is a record speed for charging a phone. This is for both wired and wireless charging speeds.
