When it presented the Xiaomi 12 Pro, the Chinese brand also revealed its Surge P1 chip, which it integrated into the terminal.
But now the Chinese manufacturer explains in more detail the history and benefits of the chip that fully charges a 4000 mAh battery in just eight minutes. Xiaomi is really thinking about the future of fast charging …
The Xiaomi Surge P1 chip fully charges the batteries in less than 20 minutes
At the presentation on December 28 last year, the focus was mainly on the new Xiaomi 12 series of smartphones, the MIUI 13 interface and the S1 smartwatch, but Xiaomi revealed much more news. Among these was the Surge P1 chip, an integral component of the Xiaomi 12 Pro model, which the brand now comes to explain in detail its benefits.
And the main advantage of this chip, developed by Xiaomi itself, is the charging speed it provides. According to the Chinese manufacturer, with the Surge P1 chip, a 120 W cell can be charged in just one second. Doing the math, this means that a 4600 mAh battery can be fully charged in 18 minutes.
Better yet, if you use 200 watt wired charging technology, the chip can drive a 4000 mAh battery to 100% in eight seconds.
Keep in mind that this 120w single cell charging concept is the first to emerge in the industry.
Xiaomi Surge P1 with 42 levels of security protection
Security has not been forgotten either, and Xiaomi has equipped the new chip with more complete protection. The Surge P1 supports up to 42 levels of security protection, while its predecessor only supported 34 levels.
But according to statements by the vice president of the Xiaomi Group Technical Committee, the Chinese brand will not stop there. The official says that “the higher the capacity of the battery, the more difficult it is to charge it quickly. Xiaomi engineers continue to innovate and strike the best balance across all three dimensions of charging performance, battery life and body thickness, breaking the industry charging speed record and bringing wired charging to 10 minutes for the first time. time … This advance is not the end for Xiaomi, but a new starting point ”.
