Xiaomi teases even faster charging for the 11T Pro
Xiaomi took to Twitter to give us an overview of the 11T Pro's charging speeds at its flagship launch event in September.
The company shared the following tweet on September 5, urging subscribers to hit the retweet button to access “top secret” news regarding Xiaomi HyperCharge technology.
Sharing the tweet reveals a video that reads, “Unbox Therapy has tested our smartphone with 120Hz fast charging. Yes, Xiaomi 11T Pro is coming your way.
The short clip also reveals a time for the launch event - September 15 at 20 p.m. GMT - when Xiaomi plans to announce its next set of flagship devices and more.
So how fast is the 120W HyperCharge?
Xiaomi gave us a sneak peek at its latest charging speed records in May when the company revealed it can charge the Mi 11 Pro in just 8 minutes with a 200W charger or 15 minutes with a 120W charger.
This was a significant upgrade from the Xiaomi Mi 11, which already offered impressive speeds ranging from 0% to 80% in just over 30 minutes and fully in 43 minutes with 55W wired charging. .
It's also faster than the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra, which can be fully charged in just 37 minutes thanks to support for 66W wired and wireless charging for the 5000mAh battery.
That said, the company used a modified version of the Mi 11 Pro with a new 10C graphene battery to achieve these new records, so mainstream models have yet to hit those speeds.
The Xiaomi 11T Pro is expected to be in the middle of Xiaomi's latest flagship line, below the Mi 11, Mi 11 Pro and Mi 11 Ultra and above the Mi 11 Lite.
The device will also lose the Mi brand, as Xiaomi recently announced that it will remove the name from its entire product line.
“From the third quarter of 2021, Xiaomi's 'Mi' product series will be renamed to 'Xiaomi',” Xiaomi said speaking to XDA developers in August. “This change will unify our brand's presence in the world and close the perception gap between the brand and its products. "
We will have to wait until September 15 to learn more about the 11T Pro and its charging speeds of 120W.
