I have had my Xiaomi phone for a few years and have mixed feelings about it. It is one of the Redmi Note 12 series.
One thing that is awesome, if maybe the single thing that it is great with, is charging.
It goest from almost 0 to full charge within 15 minuttes! I never realized thatvi needed this, until i had it.
Now, while looking at phones that maybe could take better photos, had less bloatware and maybe just worked better, i just seem to gravitate back to Xiaomi that apparently is one of the few companies that make phones with hyper charge!
I would have imagined that this would be the new standayby now
I am considering one of the higher end flagships of the company, simply because of this but I am still sceptical of their performance and especially all the bloatware and ads that seem to be integrated into their OS
I’m the other way around, I absolutely do not care about charging speed at all.
My phone is on the charger at night. If it charges in less than 6 hours or so, I literally wouldn’t notice a difference ever. Battery always lasts for at least a day.
For me it really depends on what i use it for. A long day using GPS navigation or some times you have more phonecalls than others. Some times I don’t have a speaker with me and just play music over the phone.
Not having to think of batteri any more, no matter how much i use it, and even not having to plug it in every night is a real relief for me.
Maybe yeah! most of my phones “though the ages” have died because either the screen broke, the charging port broke, or buttons fell off. From what i understand, this works because there are multiple batteries charging at the same time? I have not noticed any substantial battery performance loss during the two years i’ve had it. And even so, it only takes 15 minutes for a full charge, so I am still hooked!

That shouldn’t make a big difference in charge speed because it doesn’t change the ratio between capacity and input power. The difference is likely the silicon anode batteries Krudler mentioned; they’re not as easily damaged by fast charge rates as the graphite anodes used in most Li-ion batteries.
The newer battery technology (silicon versus graphite anodes) has the potential for massive improvements
We are currently in the early adopting phase, where companies have finally gotten this technology usable. All the early adopters are going to be crying in the next couple years as their batteries end up smoking and in the garbage
I cannot wait until this technology smooths out and a couple hundred million people do the testing

Fast charging is bad for the battery though.

It depends on the composition of the battery. The faster you charge the worse it is on the battery.
Yep, but it’s a Xiaomi. I have a post about them (great the first year, then just ewaste).
