Redmi just launched the world’s fastest-charging smartphone, it supports 210W charging
This smartphone supports 210W fast charging. This smartphone comes with a 4,300mAh battery, and it can recharge it in only 9 minutes. Now, do note that we’ve mentioned 240W fast charging in the past, as OPPO demonstrated it. The thing is, the company still didn’t announce a phone that supports it. Therefore, Redmi is in the lead now. The Redmi Note 12 Pro, Redmi Note 12 Pro+, and Redmi Note 12 Explorer Edition are actually really similar smartphones. There are some differences between them, which we will highlight as we go along. We’ll first talk about the things that are identical between them. Do note that all three phones look the same, save for a different paint job. These three phones feature a 6.67-inch fullHD+ (2400 x 1080) LED display. That is a 120Hz display, and it offers a 240Hz touch sampling rate. HDR10+ is supported, as is Dolby Vision.
