The charging benchmarks set by Android phones are quite astounding — with some phones being able to charge at 200 watts. If that wasn’t enough, a new Android phone takes it up a notch.
Power Delivery , which is a common charging standard across USB devices, supports up to 240W of power to charge various gadgets. The standard prescribes 50V at 5A. However, Xiaomi’s charging tech keeps the voltage low at 20W and divides the electricity into three channels of 70W each . For safety measures, the channels are built to sustain up to 100W of power.
The supplied USB cable has an E-mark chip, without which the charger cannot attain its full potential. In the case of the Redmi Note 12 Explorer, the charger can spit out 210W power, however, with other devices, it can only do 65W via USB-PD.
