Highlights
  • Redmi 300W fast charging solution has been officially announced.
  • The brand has used a modified Redmi Note 12 Discovery (Explorer Edition) with a 4,100mAh battery in a controlled environment.
  • The device took 2 minutes and 11 seconds to reach 50 percent.

Redmi has officially announced a 300W ultra-fast charging solution. This comes just a month after Realme introduced its 240W fast charging tech. With this, Redmi officially becomes the fastest charging solution in the world, interestingly on the day when Realme is launching the fastest charging phone yet in the world – the Realme GT 3. The company claims this can charge the battery to 100 percent in just 5 minutes. The brand has posted an official demo video and used a modified Redmi Note 12 Discovery (Explorer Edition) with a 4,100mAh battery (the original has a dual 4,300mAh cell) in a controlled environment. The device took 2 minutes and 11 seconds to reach 50 percent and under 5 minutes to charge fully.

One interesting tidbit from the video that is officially posted by Redmi is the fact that the phone was able to touch 290W (not the claimed 300W) only once and that too for about 3 seconds of time.

Redmi 300W fast charging solution

The Redmi 300W fast charging solution is by far the fastest solution on the market. It is the theoretical max speed the charger and the battery can reach. It’s possible the customised Redmi Note 12 Discovery edition in the video is capping out the speed for safety reasons. The adapter itself comes with Double GaN technology and has “more than 50 safety protections.” Despite this, the charger retains a small size.

Neither Xiaomi nor Redmi have mentioned when the 300W fast charging solution will be made available to customers. But we believe, the solution will be first available in China and later rollout globally. Since the tech is from Redmi, there are high chances, it might first come on a Note series model. We should learn more details about the new charging solution soon.
