The "Xiaomi AirPower" it’s official: 20W wireless charging for up to three devices at the same time

During the mega-launch of Xiaomi there was also a place for accessories such as the multiple charger to what Apple AirPower that never was. Or, sticking to devices that do exist, similar to Samsung Wireless Charger Trio, although with a difference: it includes 19 induction coils, while its Samsung namesake has only six.

This Xiaomi fast charger can charge up to three devices with fast charge of 20W each and with the advantage that you can place them a bit as you please, since it has coils spread over its entire surface.

One charger to charge them all

Xiaomi already has its own multi-device charger ready. Its official global name is yet to be known, although the literal translation from Chinese comes to something like “Xiaomi multi-coil fast wireless charger”. A somewhat long name that explains a simple concept: a base of fast wireless charging to charge up to three devices at once.

The advantage of the Xiaomi fast charger is that it has 19 induction coils distributed over its entire surfaceso you have more flexibility in placing devices on top so that they charge at the highest possible speed. This charging speed is 20W for each device that is charging, thus reaching 60W in total if you are charging three devices, such as two cell phones and a pair of headphones, a cell phone + headset + smartwatch and other combinations.

The Xiaomi Wireless Charger is compatible with fast-charging devices in a 3-millimeter housing and contains six security mechanisms: against over current, over voltage, under voltage, excess temperature, foreign bodies and against electrostatic electricity. It has dimensions of 232.4 x 100 x 15.1 mm, not very different from the 240 x 86 x 15.5 mm of the Samsung Wireless Charger Trio.

Availability and prices

Xiaomi’s multiple fast wireless charger has been announced for the moment in China, where it can already be purchased for 599 yuan, which is 77 euros at the current exchange rate. At the moment it is unknown if it will be sold globally or not.
