Redmi plans to make 300W charging available to consumers

About a month ago, Redmi demoed its 300W fast charging to the world. The company proved that it can charge a smartphone with a 4,100mAh battery in only 5 minutes. We had no idea when the company plans to utilize its 300W charging in a consumer phone, but it seems like it plans to make it available to consumers soon.

Redmi plans to make its 300W charging available to consumers

Based on a new post by Digital Chat Station, a Chinese tipster, Redmi plans to go ahead with mass production. We’re not sure what phone will utilize it, nor when exactly will it come, but it’s coming.

At the moment, the Realme GT3 is the world’s fastest-charging phone. It supports 240W charging, and it can fully charge its 4,600mAh battery in 9 minutes and 30 seconds. Needless to say, that’s immensely fast, but Redmi will trump that.

Many people would argue that even 67W charging is plenty fast these days, or perhaps even less than that. Some companies really did a great job when it comes to implementing its fast-charging solutions in phones, so there’s really no reason why we couldn’t have faster charging on the table.

OPPO, Xiaomi & Vivo have been pushing the charging speed limits

OPPO and Xiaomi have been including 67W and 120W charging in its devices for a while now. The same goes for a number of other companies. Vivo’s latest flagship also supports 120W charging, for example.

Those devices charge immensely fast despite the fact they have rather beefy batteries. Well, Redmi will push things even further. It uses the fourth-gen GaN (gallium nitride) solution in order to make this happen.

The company is using a customized 6:2 charge pump chip with a maximum conversion efficiency of 98%. The company demoed 300W charging on a special version of the Redmi Note 12 Pro+. That variant of the phone is not available to purchase, of course, it is just a demo device.
