Earlier this week, Xiaomi launched Mi GaN Charger Type-C 33W in its home country China in a single white color option. A few days later, ZMI has also released the same product but in black color. It is called ZMI 33W GaN Charger Mini and is also priced at ¥ 79 (US$ 12), just like the Mi-branded charger.
For those unaware, ZMI is one of the
members of the Xiaomi ecological chain. The company is known for manufacturing
power banks and chargers for Xiaomi. Hence, it is not surprising to see the
same charger being sold with both ZMI and Mi brandings.
Although the two chargers are identical in
terms of specs as well as price, they differ by appearance. The Xiaomi model
features a glossy finish with white color paintjob and ‘Xiaomi 33W’ writing on
one of the sides. On the other hand, the ZMI product has a dual-tone (glossy,
matte) black color finish with a ‘33W’ text. Talking about specifications, the
ZMI 33W GaN Charger Mini with model number HA715 supports up to 33W output. It
features a USB Type-C port and also ships with a USB Type-C to Type-C cable.
The charger is compatible with all
smartphones and tablets, including iPhones as well as iPads. As the name
suggests, it uses GaN (Gallium Nitride) instead of silicon, and therefore, it
is smaller than regular chargers with an identical maximum output rate. Last
but not least, the new ZMI charger measures 30.4 x 30.4 x 34mm in dimensions
and weighs 50g.
