Xiaomi’s sudden release of “space charging” technology, can it change the development of the smartphone industry?

With the development of technology, smart phones have gradually become indispensable electronic products in our lives. Over the years, the capabilities of mobile phones have continued to improve. More and more black technologies such as 5G, high-speed brushes, 2K screens, linear motors, and NFC have been stuffed into small mobile phones. However, the lithium battery technology used in mobile phones has not been able to do so. Breakthrough, which has also led to the current stage of smart phones often need to be charged once a day. In order to solve the problem of battery life, mobile phone manufacturers have launched their own fast charging solutions. At present, the fastest charging power in the industry is 120W, and the mobile phone can be fully charged in 15 minutes.

In addition to the development of wired charging technology, wireless charging technology has also continued to improve over the years. At this stage, flagship mobile phones can reach a wireless charging speed of up to 50W. Wireless charging is a term with a sense of science and technology. Don’t get me wrong. The current wireless charging is different from what we thought before. At this stage, mobile phone wireless charging needs to be equipped with a wireless charger. The power supply is connected to the wireless charger through a cable. Connect, then put the phone on the wireless charger to charge, once the phone is removed, it can no longer be charged. And what did the wireless charging that I imagined back then look like? If mobile phone wifi can also provide charging function, then how sci-fi!

Now this imagination is gradually becoming a reality. On January 29th, Xiaomi founder Lei Jun announced a new charging technology of Xiaomi-air charging. According to Lei Jun’s introduction, this function is the millimeter wave signal emitted by the charging pile. The rectifier circuit is converted into electrical energy to realize the sci-fi space charging experience. Lei Jun also released a demonstration video of space charging. Lei Jun said that Xiaomi’s air-to-air charging technology has achieved 5W long-distance charging for a single device within a radius of several meters, and it also supports simultaneous 5W charging of multiple devices. Coincidentally, two Xiaomis before Xiaomi announced this technology, Motorola also released a short video of its own products charging in the air.

Whether it is Xiaomi or Motorola, can this new technology of air charging change the development of the entire smartphone industry? Judging from the demo video, this kind of charging technology is undoubtedly exciting, but many netizens still have another question about radiation. There are still many use scenarios for air charging. For example, you can play games while charging, and there is no cable restriction. The problem is that while the mobile phone is charging, our body is also exposed within the charging range. Does our body cause harm?

Dear friends, what do you think of the “space charging” technology launched by Xiaomi this time?
