Charging speed - Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Real Life Review

To power up, you consume Red Bull. But your phone just needs its adaptive fast charger. Rate this thread to express how quickly the Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 can charge. A higher rating indicates that it charges extremely fast.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

I have done some testing.
With QC 2.0 (my old Motorola Turbo charge 15) I charge phone from 20% to 90% with rate 65%/hour (1 hour and 10 minutes time)
With QC 3.0 (charger and cable from original Chinese packaging) I charge phone form 30% to 87% with rate 95%/hour (40 minutes)
I think this scenario is common for most users when they need to charge phone in hurry.
Later I will add also charging rate for quick wireless charger included in box and maybe also some QC 4.0+ if I get my hands on some.

In my case, I bought a PD3.0 charger from Aukey and my Mi Mix 3 is charging from 0% to 100% in 1h08 !
In fact after a few research I found that Power Delivery Technology is compatible with Qualcomm Quick Charge because Quick charge is working with Power Delivery and add a few security technology, but power delivery already have some.
Nevermind, I tested it and indeed My PD3.0 charger (max 15V and 3A) with a anker cable wich support up to 5A is working faster than the QC3 charger !
I suppose a QC4.0 should be better, but for now I think PD3.0 is the best solution !

I second @romain1672...I've converted all my chargers to USB-PD since I've divested from non-USB-C devices and my Mi Mix 3 flies with them.

I believe the wireless charging is relatively slow, think one review said three hours for full charge? But that's expected to be honest.
I've heard it said that slow charging is better for battery life, so in effect, wouldn't the wireless charger be better than cabled, if you're not pressed for time?

It took me exactly 1h45 to charge from 17% to 100% with the wireless charger. It's pretty fast for a wireless charger, but the only issue is that it heats lot of more than wired, and i read somewhere that heat isn't good for battery health.

Hi guys, I just bought the Razer Phone charger (it's the only one I could get quickly with Quick Charge 4.0+ in the UK). Not the most scientific of tests, but it went from 30% to 87% in 30 mins. I tested from 30% again today with a Quick Charge 3 charger and in 30 minutes it made it to 80%.
Sorry I didn't run from 0-100%, I can probably test that more easily this weekend if people are interested?

Fast enough that for the first time since owning a smart phone I never have to think about looking for a charge, even when travelling.

Does anyone know of any wireless chargers/charging stands that charge the mix 3 as fast as the included one? I've tried a couple I had with previous phones and they just charge so much slower

This charger is becoming annoying.
I place my phone on the puck by my bed. Sometimes, before falling asleep, I hear the sound indicating charge stopping.
Then, in the morning I find my phone has moved off the puck. And it is not me! The phone slips away if not perfectly aligned centrally on the puck. It is not surprising as the induction forces between the puck and phone will be opposing but the manufacturer should have spotted this and made the puck/phone with more friction between them.

Bro, I use my brothers Samsung Wireless Charger "EP-NG930" from his S8. Google it to see it. I can't post a pic of it since I leave it in the office but underneath it is rated at 9V 1.67A (15W)
I must say it charges pretty much the same, if not, faster than the included one since it has a built-in noiseless fan behind the coils

[Q] Charging

Hey all, haven't been able to find an answer for this. So I'll open a new thread. Now the question. The phone seems to take a long time to charge. Is it possible for me to use my Note 4's quick charger or can anyone recomend a faster charger for this phone? Charging it with Note 4's 2a charger wont damage the battery? Thank you.
I use a 2.1 out and it charges in about an hour and a half
Charging isn't fast and it seems that if the phone gets warm, it draws less power then too - so on a warm day, it can feel like it's taking years.
Would have been nice to have had wireless charging support and/or turbo charging, but alas not.

Doesn't the phone support quick charging? But Huawei haven't bundled the appropriate charger?
Doesn't appear to. I've got a Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 adapter and it doesn't seem any faster, nor say fast charging.
There's a quirk, when the battery shows 100% it actually still keep charging for another 30 minutes. All tests showed that it took 3hours+ to fully charge it. So quick charge my ass.
So just to update, I have tried charging it with note 4's fast charger and it charges the phone from 20 to 100% in about an hour and a half. Which imo isn't that bad. With the included charger, it took me around 2 and a half hours... Huawei really should have included a charger with higher amp, 1 is way to low.

It's sadly very common for phones to ship with poor chargers (1A and even lower), but then again - some phones these days come with NO charging adapter, assuming you'll have a ton of them anyway.
I use a 2.1A 5V charger, but I've tried the faster ones (that can output 9V) and it doesn't speed things up, so while it can charge faster with a better PSU, it won't ever charge as quick as many other flagships. Mind you, has the G4 been given full support yet? Likewise, the Z3 is down as supporting Quick Charge 2.0 on Qualcomm's website, but then turns out to be only some variants. Makes me wonder if the Z3+ supports it in every guise.
Not sure what the reasoning is for devices that could support faster charging not actually allowing it, especially if the manufacturer could profit from selling faster chargers separately.

I read an article about Huawei declining fast-charge for "battery-purposes" so it can have a longer life cycle. But i think Huawei made an exception about the Huawei Honor 7.
I had an Samsung before and never had problems with fast-charging whatsoever.
My P8 was full in about 2 hours with an 2.1 A charger, while my Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3 took 1,5 hours.
the screenshoot took from Huawei P8 & P8 Max Launching Event 2015 said that p8 has quick charge at min 21.30 but they didnt talk about that in the event

Here's a quick charger for the Huawei P8 : http://www.amazon.com/Adaptive-Charger-Charging-voltages-charging/dp/9713256832
I did not buy it, but it says it charges at 9V 2.1A

I think this adaptor isn't safe to p8max.. I will try another charger but only 5v with higher amp that will be safe for sure
Now i charge with stock from 3%to100% in about 2.5 h and the phone didn't tell me to remove charger for more half ahour!!

I dont know, its 9V 2.1A, so it is quick charge. But i dont know if it is for MAX. I can charge fast. maybe 1.5h/2h?

sadly after 1 year, the charger that came with the phone is dead LG is unwilling to replace one for me because warranty for accessories is only 6 months. so disappointed with LG in terms of quality of materials as well as customer service. Customer service wise, I was disappointed because they did not read my email clearly and sent me an automated reply. wasted my time going to LG service centre...

If you mean the LG wall charger, luckily there are very inexpensive QuickCharge 3.0 replacements. Some even come with 10ft charging cord included; useful for when wall outlet is a few feet away.
There's also QuickCharge 3.0 dual port car chargers.

My phone wont charge faster than 1A. Tried 3-4 charging mods but still 1A. Its not fast [email protected] is qc3.0 ..help v30 h930 root stock rom
My v30 charges faster than my v40?!?
Had bout 2% battery left when I plugged in my v30 to charge on a QC 3.0 charger, noticed it started at 2970mA. It's now just over 10 mins into it, I'm at 40%, it's still sucking in juice at 2865mA, see screenshot.
Accubattery says in 13 mins I'll have 80% and in 20 mins, it'll be fully charged.
Keep in mind, according to Accubattery, I only have 70% of the original capacity left 2300mAh vs the original 3300mAh (2nd screenshot) so that's why it seems faster than usual.
It's clear my battery's dying a slow death, but least it charges up fast, I can't get over 1900mA on my v40, no matter what charger Im using?! It's so weird?!
Anyone knows if the original charger is "intelligent", meaning it cuts power/charging when battery is fully charged?

Generally speaking, it's not the charger that's "intelligent" but rather the phone. It stops powering the charge circuit when the battery is full. Yes, that is the case with the V30...
The phone's QC chip also allows it to charge at higher rates, if the charger supports it (9V and higher charge voltages). Again, that's in the phone primarily, but in this case the charger needs to comply as well, of course.
Thanks, mate. Truly appreciated

Very disappointed. Never exceeds 2A
With original charger+cable, the speed is pretty good, surely way faster than my Samsung S7.
Way faster than my previous s9 plus
I figured out there are 3 different charing modes, normal charge, fast charge and SuperCharge...
I think it depends on the charger ....

Supercharge mode, which is the fastest possible, requires BOTH a compatible battery charger AND a compatible cable. Usually , cables have purple plug. Non-compatible systems can charge at fast charge speed, which is like quickcharge 3. Thanksfully, neither the charger nor the cable are very expensive.
When the battery is lower than 30%, I usually get 4,5V and 5A (measured with a device, not an app) which is what the plug says
It also takes 9V and more than 2A from my Power Delivery Charger, which is pretty good
Only with the adapter and cable that came with it it is super charging.. if I use Samsung's fast charging set up or any other set up it is only charging, slow!!!
Very disappointing.
Hello there.
I was wondering if there is an option for non-supercharge in android oreo settings.
I want to know that because i think that with supercharge, the battery life will reduce faster.

I wouldn't worry too much about it Otherwise, just use a different cable or charger than the stock one and Supercharging will stop working.
Nikolay F said:
I was able to get almost 1 ampere but at 9V. This is almost as good in terms of power as the standard super charge adapter.
I am so glad that Huawei decided to make their devices compliant with the common standards so we can choose from a wider variety of charging options.
Click to expand...

9V1A is nowhere near supercharging levels (4.5V5A or 5V4.5A)... its 9W compared to 22.5W of power!
Never used a Power Delivery Charger personally, and if it only does 9V1A, I won't anytime soon! A standard Huawei charger gives more power (5V2A - 10W)! And Huawei doesn't use the most common standard...Qualcomm Quick Charge, so we don't have have a wider variety at all!
for a first time user with a fast charge/ dash charge i'm really impress with the charging rate.
Fast charge with original charger and cable. about 30mins I went from 25 to about 86ish%
Charging works well for me.
Large Apple Charger, 80W Fast charges
Huawei Original Super Charges
Oneplus 5 Dash charger Charges normally
Galaxy S5 charger with a different cable - charges normally
Haven't measured the volt and A
Does any one know what the actual charging standard is called on a "technical" level?
Super-charge is hardly a tech spec

Believe it's close to 4000mA I think..
That's supercharging..but it'll lower as you gradually get higher..so speeds at 90% will be lower than at 10%
Coming from OnePlus3 - 0% to 60% in 30 min (tested many times), I am not impressed by the Huawei P20 pro supercharging...
Tested again today, I got from 9% to 45% in 30 min.
Huawei claims the P20 pro will do 0% to 85% in 45 minutes.
I got from 9% to 80% in 1 hour!
I am on the latest Pie Rom - 9.0.0.195 and using the original charger + cable.
Any suggestions? I don't have any other huawei charger to test with...
Also on a "regular" good quality charger (in the car) it is slower then the OnePlus3 (and I do realize it is 4000 vs. 3000 mAh capacity battery), but still feels much slower...
Charging issue!

Hey just wanted to know if charging ever gone Above 2500MA, using the Amper app?. And does it stay about 2000ma or does it drop?.
My issue is it hits 2500and then drops down to sometimea 550ma.?, I got no clue Y!
It charges a few point up and then slows its input into the phone. in the range of 700to 900ma. And also I have restarted the device, closed all apps. Useless and also charged it from 2%, It's still pathetic! Please advise as I feel this model may have a manufacturer defective possibility.,
Thanks

I just tested the original charger and cable with my p20 pro:
I got stable 4290mA in Ampere App (at least over the last 10minutes)
(The phone is a CLT-L09 with latest 9.0.0.270 firmware)

Hi there Abby, would you mind explaining to a noob how you managed to charge it so quick, it took me 4 hours to get 90% today with the stock charger. How do I get it to make use of quick charge

Nothing . Whenever I buy a new mobile I deplete its battery to 0% so that it turns OFF itself and then plug it to charger till it is 100% and then switch it ON .
Repeat this cycle 2-3 times and hopefully you'll be good to go.
Nex has AI based Battery charging mathod.
When you charge this in day time it takes less time to charge compare to charging at night time.
My Nex Charged from 10 to 100 in 45 to 60 mins depends on interval in between charging.
At night it takes more then 60 mins ..

Check the where to buy thread around page 30...someone explained that the Nex got shipped with a charger that doesn't support fast charging(picks included). Also, as I understand, when it fast charges it makes some kind of an animation..like a thunder..on the screen. Good luck

I purchased mine in India. I have to use a type-B plug adapter. Vivo told me they don't manufacture a type-B charger. There is no after-market charger that will support fast charge.
When you plug into fast charge the charging icon turns yellow and spins faster. It also says "dual core fast charging"
I measured the charging time today on the turned off screen.
0-30% 15min
0-50% 25min
0-70% 35min
0-90% 60min
0-100% 1h 25min
I sorry for my English, I use Google Translate.
The simple answer is your cable. Assuming the charging brick you're using is fast charge or from Vivo, it's the CABLE that truly dictates the charging speed.
You need a 28/24 gauge bound cable. When you buy cables, they're not all created equally. I have tested this with another fast charge brick and a purchased 28/24 gauge wire cable and it activates the quick-charge function on the phone. Any other combination of cables that are non 28/24 gauge and you can't fast charge with the phone.
So to summarize:
-charging source needs to be the fast charge brick from Vivo or another fast charge capable brick charger
-You NEED a 28/24 gauge cable, no other type will work with fast charge
I asked Vivo in Facebook about how to charge my phone and they told me that its better to net let your phone be charged from 0-20% but higher than that . and you shouldnt play while the phone charging , also if its a brand new , when you unbox it its not reccomended to wait the battery to die and then to charge it to 100 % cause its allready been activated (the battery).

Check my previous post. While it is maybe true, most new age lithium ion batteries are built with decent to sufficient resistance to memory half life.
The real key is exactly as I explained in my post, in that it really has to do with the charging block and more importantly be cable gauge size. Most places don't sell 28/24 gauge cables as their primary USB cable type, C, micro, etc.
So remember:
-Need fast-charge brick (original or other)
-NEED 28/24 gauge, type doesn't matter so long as it's that gauge
Meet those requirements and you'll have fast-charge on this or any other capable device.

Not the absolute fastest around, but damn sure not the slowest... especially when you consider how much further every 1% of battery will take you on this phone compared to other phones in its class. Fast charging kills batteries anyways, so I charge slowly most of the time since I'm always around a plug these days. I really wish I had this phone back in 2011 when I lived on a bicycle and was always on the road away from home and/or power. My only other gripe is that I wish there was a software switch to turn off fast charging like Samsung offered. Sometimes I only have a fast-charge enabled charger around, but would prefer a slow charge.

I don't slow charge in the traditional sense, but I use a QC 3.0 charger for the same reason. It maxes out at 3A to the battery, or 0.6C charge rate. It's still plenty fast, but slow enough relative to battery capacity that it doesn't stress the battery much and no need to worry about turning a setting off in the phone.
Im using 25w adapter PD to charge V60, charging speed is too slow, need above 3hours from 10-100.
Checking battery in hidden menu, saw charong current max is 1,7A, usually lower.
Normal adapter give me same speed (like a cheap samsung fast charge adapter).

I am having the exact same issue. Have you found any solutions yet? I am about to either return the device or change the battery and charge port. Although, I am not sure if it will help because it has 10 watt wireless charging and still maxes out at 6 watts on wireless.

iam using Xiaomi 33w adapter with a Baseus cable, dont use Xiaomi cable (with red color inside usb port, this cable hold 5V only) .
This combo charing my V60 fast (about 1h30 -2h). Its acceptable for me.
Now i dont mind about charing speed anymore.
Hey bro i hqve a 36 watt fast charger. I noticed that my phone charges in 1 hour 40 min before. Now it still ahows me 1 hour 40 min but it takes hours to charge..... It is still showing fast charging. It never happened before
