Over the years, smartphone charging times have decreased from the already outstanding 30 minutes to 15 minutes, but that appears to be too slow for Xiaomi. One variant in the new Redmi Note 12 series, branded “Redmi Note 12 Discovery Edition,” stood out with a massive 210W HyperCharge capabilities. Three 100W rapid charging chips handle this technology, which charges the phone’s 4,300mAh battery in just 9 minutes. To put things in context, both Xiaomi’s previous 120W HyperCharge and Oppo’s 150W SuperVOOC require 15 minutes to charge a 4,500mAh battery.
The Redmi Note 12 Discovery Edition also has a 6.67-inch OLED screen (2,400 x 1,080, 120Hz), a 200MP primary camera (Samsung’s brand new HPX sensor; with OIS), an 8MP ultra-wide camera, a 2MP macro camera, and a 16MP selfie camera. This Android 12 gadget also has twin SIM slots, dual speakers, a 3.5mm headphone jack, a side fingerprint sensor, NFC, and an infrared blaster.
