Smartphone that fully charges in 8 MINUTES using record-breaking battery tech is unveiled by Xiaomi
A SMARTPHONE that can fully charge in eight minutes has reportedly broken the world record in wired and wireless charging.
Xiaomi revealed a video of its super-fast charging tech so you can witness it for yourself.
Xiaomi tweeted the video and said: “Charge up to 100% in just 8 minutes using wired charging and 15 minutes wirelessly! #XiaomiHyperCharge
“Too good to be true? Check out the timer yourself! #InnovationForEveryone.”
The Chinese tech giant now claims to have the world record for both wired and wireless charging speeds.
Its video demonstrates a Mi 11 Pro phone reaching full charge next to timer.

Xiaomi used a modified Mi 11 Pro smartphone with a 4,000mAh battery to demonstrate the new tech.
It says a 200W wired “HyperCharge” system can charge a phone in eight minutes.
However, its 120W wireless charging takes 15 minutes.
Chinese smartphone companies often battle for the fastest charging speeds.
Last year, Oppo demonstrated a 4,000mAh-in-20-minutes 125W system.
A year before that Xiaomi was showing off a 100W system that could charge 4,000mAh batteries in 17 minutes.
