Xiaomi 11i HyperCharge 5G – which will be launched in India this week – has 120W fast charging. You read that right. The company claims that the Xiaomi 11i HyperCharge 5G, with its proprietary technology, will (easily) be the fastest-charging smartphone in the country. In addition to fast charging, the smartphone has been confirmed to have features such as a full-HD+ AMOLED display and Dolby Atmos support. The Xiaomi 11i HyperCharge 5G will also come with three rear cameras.
Speaking about the Xiaomi 11i HyperCharge 5G, the company’s overall performance in 2021, and its plans for 2022, host Akhil Arora and review editor Jamshed Avari speak exclusively with Xiaomi India Chief Business Officer Raghu Reddy, Senior Product Marketing Manager Sandeep Sarma, and Product Marketing Manager Rahul Dubey on this week’s episode of Gadget’s 360 podcast Orbital.
The Xiaomi 11i HyperCharge 5G is rumored to charge zero to 100 percent in 15 minutes. The phone contains a dual-cell battery with dual-charge pumps and a modified circuit. This setup splits battery charging like filling two empty barrels at once, Xiaomi spokespersons explain in the podcast.
Xiaomi has also equipped the phone with 34 different security features that protect against cases such as high-temperature charging and discharging, overheating, and shutdown. In addition, the Xiaomi 11i HyperCharge 5G’s included charger is teased about having over-current and over-voltage protection.
The smartphone also has nine effective real-time thermal monitoring sensors. These would help monitor and protect the system from problems, including an explosion due to overheating during fast charging.
In addition to fast charging, the Xiaomi 11i HyperCharge 5G will have three cameras on the back, with a primary sensor of 108 megapixels. The phone also has features including dual native ISO for low-light shooting. Furthermore, the company recently confirmed that the phone would have MediaTek Dimensity 920.
The Xiaomi 11i HyperCharge 5G will come alongside the regular Xiaomi 11i, which is not expected to have a 120W fast charge but will have some similarities. On the Gadgets 360 podcast, Xiaomi spokespersons underlined that the plan is to launch two models to give customers a choice regarding the combination of charging and metrics.
The launch of the Xiaomi 11i series in India will take place on Thursday, January 6. The Xiaomi 11i HyperCharge 5G in the series is believed to be a rebadged Redmi Note 11 Pro+ that launched in China in October. However, the Xiaomi 11i could be a rebranded version of the Redmi Note 11 Pro.
We also discuss Xiaomi’s overall performance in the Indian smartphone market in 2021. The Chinese company launched six Mi series phones in the year. It is also claimed that Xiaomi’s smartphone shipments in India in 2021 has grown more than nine times compared to 2020. Of course, 2020 was a year badly damaged by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
