Xiaomi's
upcoming flagship, within the traditional "Mi" lineup is still very
much shrouded in mystery. Thus far, we've heard to company's co-founder and
president Lin Bin mention a Mi 10 Pro on social media. Naturally, this probably
entails a vanilla Mi 10 as well. And, in fact, the existence of a regular Mi 10
was also, kind of, confirmed after the announcement of the Snapdragon 865,
which will likely be powering it.
A
fresh new rumor from Weibo claims to pertain to this vanilla Xiaomi Mi 10 and
specifically - it's battery capacity. The latter is said to land somewhere in
the 4,500 - 4,800 mAh range. Not particularly specific by any stretch of the
imagination. Also, the source goes on to mention that the actual capacity of
the device might be 100 mAh off in one direction or the other, making thing
even more vague.
Even
with all the ambiguity accounted for, these rough numbers are still interesting
in relation to a different Xiaomi rumor. One claiming that the Mi 10 Pro will
be able to charge it's battery from 0 to 100% in 35 minutes. This new
generation of Xiaomi fast-charging tech definitely sounds interesting and
probably has something to do with a 66W (11V over 6A) Xiaomi charger, certified
earlier this year in China. This power output number does sound promising,
compared to the current smartphone charging champ - the Oppo Reno Ace and its
65W adapter. The latter can fill its 4,000 mAh battery entirely in just 28
minutes. Which, of course, is less than Xiaomi's rumored 35 minute window.
However, that number might just pertain to the Mi 10 Pro. Perhaps the vanilla
Mi 10 has a smaller battery and even quicker zero to full times?
We
can't really say for sure. Even so, we'll be keeping a close eye on the Mi 10
family, as well as Xiaomi's alleged upcoming 66W wired charging, as well as its
50W wireless charging solution, also said to be in the works and scheduled for
H2 2020.
