I have had my Xiaomi phone for a few years and have mixed feelings about it. It is one of the Redmi Note 12 series.
One thing that is awesome, if maybe the single thing that it is great with, is charging.
It goest from almost 0 to full charge within 15 minuttes! I never realized thatvi needed this, until i had it.
Now, while looking at phones that maybe could take better photos, had less bloatware and maybe just worked better, i just seem to gravitate back to Xiaomi that apparently is one of the few companies that make phones with hyper charge!
I would have imagined that this would be the new standayby now
I am considering one of the higher end flagships of the company, simply because of this but I am still sceptical of their performance and especially all the bloatware and ads that seem to be integrated into their OS
Fast charging is bad for the battery though.
and making them replaceable would be even more practical than making them charge faster
Maybe yeah! most of my phones “though the ages” have died because either the screen broke, the charging port broke, or buttons fell off. From what i understand, this works because there are multiple batteries charging at the same time? I have not noticed any substantial battery performance loss during the two years i’ve had it. And even so, it only takes 15 minutes for a full charge, so I am still hooked!
That shouldn’t make a big difference in charge speed because it doesn’t change the ratio between capacity and input power. The difference is likely the silicon anode batteries Krudler mentioned; they’re not as easily damaged by fast charge rates as the graphite anodes used in most Li-ion batteries.
