Does the Mix ship with a 3.0 fast charger?

This is something i haven't seen mentioned or confirmed in all the reviews i have read. I have read reviews of other xiaomi devices that said it was qc 3.0 enabled, but the charger that ships with the phone is not a quick charger and the user would have to buy their own to take advantage of this feature.
so does anyone know if the charger we receive with the mix is in fact a quick charger as the mi mix is on the devices that is qualcomm quick charge 3.0 enabled.

That site quoted 83% in 30mins, I am not getting that, not even close. I bought the anker USB C quick charge charger which suppose to be quick. I don't feel quick at all...
Anyone also bought charger that can comment on this?

yes, as i posted i am well aware the phone is quick charge 3.0 capable. my question though is the charger that ships with the phone a quick charge charger. there are other xiaomi phones that are also quick charge but the user has to provide their own quick charger.
if i were to guess i do not think this charger is a quick charger based on my results compared to my nexus 6.

I got an Aukey QC3 5-Port Charger.
I'm trying to get my device empty right now (tough though as it lasts pretty long) and will test it afterwards.
Gesendet von meinem MIX mit Tapatalk

I compared the included charger with my Anker quick charge 3 charger using the Ampere app.
The given stats were marginally better with the included charger.
I'm not really sure what all the figures mean but they were there or there abouts the same, the Anker charger is Qualcom QC3 certified.
Not nearly getting the quoted charge times though with either charger.
At 53% it claimed 44 mins to 100%

Yes, it ships with a fast charger. It delivers:
5V - 2.5A (12,5W)
9V - 2A (18W)
12V - 1.5A (18W)
So yes, it's a QC2.0 fast charger.

I'm currently at 69% and on the normal charger it's 3 hours+, on the QC2.0 charger I have, it's 1.5 hours and it gave me the same for the included charger. Kind of disappointed that it's only 2.0.

after seeing how insane the battery life is on this phone i just went with the qi wireless charging usb C adapter and I have no plans on going back, works awesome.

What I dislike, and you can't use is the Wireless Charging with your phone and case, and a metal plate stuck to the back of the phone. You see, I really like the various magnetic holders in the car (I have one that works with the CD Slot of the vehicle to mount the holder, another that is a little ball mount that sticks to any flat service). They use a thin metal plate to mount to the back of the phone case, and the magnetic is part of the phone mount that is in the vehicle. If you place the phone with the holder and the metal plate on the wireless charger base, it will overheat both the charging base and the phone.
I REALLY like the magnetic phone mount, and do like wireless charging but it a moot point if you have a mounting plate on the back of your phone or case.
I am using amperage and I own two qualcom version 2.0 chargers one from my Nexus 6, and one I bought on amazon. The OEM Nexus 6 draws about 1.6amps on charge, and the Anker 2.0 draws under 300 mAH. The computer 3.0 USB port from a desktop draws 370mAH to charge the phone.
I will probably invest in a true oem qualcom 3.0 charger.
Pretty cheap of Shomi to not include a 3.0 charger

I'm revising my previous post, it seems that the provided charger may indeed be a QC 3.0.
I've been reading that if you use USB-c to USB-c cable instead of the provided USB-a to USB-c cable, you actually get charge rate.
I've also been reading up on the QC 3.0 vs 2.0. Both will max out at 18watts. But 3.0 has a variable voltage whereas 2.0 is fixed at 5V, 9V and 12V. You can see that in the below link, there's a nice table of Watts for each QC.
http://www.androidauthority.com/quick-charge-3-0-explained-643053/
However with USB-C to USB-C, it can charge at full 29Watts. That's a huge difference.
you can see that in the description provided by Anker here
https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Type-C-Delivery-Charger-PowerPort/dp/B01D8C6ULO
You can also see here in this device
https://www.amazon.com/Lumsing-Charge-Charger-Foldable-Macbook/dp/B01I1OIO4A
it says 48W of power, and allocates 19W for QC 3.0 which means the other Type-C port is allocated for 29Watts.
So I think I'm going to be looking for something with a direct USB-C port as a charger.
Certainly, this may be all for not if the Xiaomi Mi Mix is limited to 18W of input anyways.

I have the Anker USB-C to USB-C charger, my initial testing indicate that the original charger (China Plug) and my Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge charger (UK Plug) are capable of doing 23.8 Watts max, i tried to monitor the difference and what I noticed is the Mi Mix original charger seems to be adjusting the charging power more often (not really sure why and whether it's good). My Anker USB-C to USB-C went up to 28.9 Watts Max. All chargers seems to scale down their charging rate after battery reach 80%+ so I think the best way to test is to empty the better and start from 0%. I doubt I will be doing that test though as it's quite hard to empty battery on Mix and I am pretty happy with my Anker charger so don't think I will be using Stock one or my Samsung one.
Unless I go on holiday with multiple devices that still use old USB port, Anker USB-C to USB-C is my go to charger.

So I think what you confirmed was that the mix can take power at 29 watts.
That's good to know.

Just received this wireless charging receiver today that claims to do fast charge
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LX0Y5CS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
it does charge much faster, almost double of the one i posted originally in this thread. i'm getting a charge on it around 950ma which isn't too bad for wireless i don't think.

Is there an app I can use to see if this phone is quick charging ? I have a Google pixel charger USB c to USB c. Trying that out now .I can't really judge because this phone is at least 1000 mAh bigger than what I'm used to lol.

That's what I'm using too! I was at 24% battery, went to sleep for 4 hours with it charging, and I'm only at 74%. There has to be a way to know when we quick charge lol

Potentially internal resistor burn in Xiaomi Type C cable

Hi all,
I think my original xiaomi Type C cable is somehow partially spoiled
Recently I'm facing charging slow with the quick charge 3.0 charger they provided and the cable they provided but not in my Xiaomi 10k QC2.0 powerbank + my newly bought Type C cable (as they can enter fast charging mode if according to the charging time and Ampere apps)
Since that newly bought type C cable can't compatible with the charger (I dunno why, the cable itself is USB 3.0 tho, but when try to use the cable at the charger and charge the phone it just can't be charge) so I'm tested the xiaomi type c cable with the powerbank
And yeap the result is also charging very slow :/
But still it's faster than when used in charger, when in the charger the charging rate show in Ampere rate is 250mA max and when in powerbank is 500mA.
But in that newly bought type C cable can be reach up to 2000mA when ur phone is already nearly reach 80%
I think maybe the resistor inside that xiaomi cable is about to burn since i can feel very hot on the type C port when charging even if used with powerbank; while that newly bought type C cable no such issue
As also when using the xiaomi qc 3.0 charger and that original xiaomi type c cable when they are about to enter quick charge mode the charger somehow straight cut off the power
So guys i should buy a completely new QC 3.0 charger (ofc other brand) or just buy the cable? Since the charger to powerbank is still using fast charging (the powerbank itself provided two way fast charging) if according to the time taken (3 to 4 hours charge from one light to four light max) so i think the charger itself is no problem.

I'd buy a new cable. I did, actually, as my phone (any phone actually) wasn't recognized on any pc with the original cable (I spent hours thinking I had bricked my phone but it was just a cable - thanks xiaomi).
Plus, cables are cheap.
Even better, let the store you bought it from know and maybe get a refund. I did

Ya later night (Malaysia now is still afternoon) I'll go buy Anker cable, if their cable is compatible with the Xiaomi QC 3.0 charger then I'll buy two (one for powerbank one for charger), if not I'll buy the Anker QC 3.0 charger also

Got myself two Anker Type C cable
Very thick and heavy, the tips also very big
But feel great

Samsung charger vs Nexus 5X, need a little help/advice!

Hello guys. I use a standard 5V 2.0A charger at work with the original Samsung micro USB cable, I also have a Xiaomi type-C converter. Most of the times my Nexus 5X says charging rapidly! So my question is, is it safe to use? Can it harm my device? Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

It won't hurt it, in fact it'll charge slower. So should create less heat and be better for it. Use ampere to check actual rates. The Nexus 5x c to c charger is rated higher than that. Slower is rarely ever bad, faster can be the issue
Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

No it won't but stock charger is more powerful (2.0 A vs 3.0 A)

I use a Samsung charger with a Type A to type C cable for overnight charging as I don't need it to charge rapidly while I'm sleeping. My cable is certified to comply with the standards though. Don't know if that Xiaomi type-C converter is or needs to be.

As said by @ideaman924, if it says Charging Rapidly, there's problem. Phone thinks it's connected to full-fledged USB Type-C cable which can handle more current than your microUSB cable with converter on the end (3A vs 2A).
AFAIK, it means there's bad/missing resistor in converter and thus it is NOT safe to use. And definitely not safe to charge with all night.
Example: For overnight charging I use Samsung's 5V 1A charger with Anker' a USB A to USB Type-C cable and phone says only Charging. However, when connected to stock Type-C to Type-C charger, it says "Charging Rapidly". That's how it should work.
So, head over to Amazon and buy ONLY Benson Leung certified cable. If you don't know him, Google his name -- he tests USB Type-C cables and made spreadsheet.

Where did you get that Samsung charger from? I had that same issue but it was with a 2.0a Samsung charger that came from Amazon that ended up being a fake, as with almost all the "genuine OEM" chargers sold on eBay/amazon. On a regular tablet it would output just under 2a. (I measured it once something like 1.88 or something IIRC) However, once connected to a co-workers 5X though it said charging rapidly and got very hot very quickly. It got binned after that. I don't use cheap chargers anymore.
Dont know if yours is a fake or not, but if you didn't get it with a new phone, I'd be suspect of it.

I prefer using the original one since boot loop issues
if your phone explode don't blame the LG

Question Type of USB-C charger cable

I want to buy a 6 feet USB-C charger cable for my phone.
Do I have to buy a 5A USB-C (which is harder to find with a USB-A connection).
Reason I ask is because the charger is a 67W charger and on the mi Store, the 67W charger is shipping with a 6A USB-A to USB-C wire.
Kindly advise.

As far as I know, the type of cable only effects the throughput that the cable is capable of. So if you use a cable other than the one they are specifying, you would still be able to use it, but it probably won't push 67 watts.

So you're implying a 3A cable should still charge the phone well but might not quick charge?

I bought some 3m corded cables usb a-c and c-c. They were only about £3.69 each with third one free. Dam good cables and run quick and super quick from my Huawei super charge and my Xiaomi 120w charger from 10 ultra. Extreme charging from cheap cables. I was shocked as I didn't think they would work as well as the supplied 10 ultra charging cable

where did you buy it you got a link from the seller

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Heavydut...2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0
Works with mi Turbo charge 120w charger 10 ultra and Huawei super charger at full speed.

Accessories 2-3m Cable

Does anyone know of a 2-3m cable that max's out the charger? I tried the Acaget 2M cable but checking the battery app on the phone right now it says the original cable is taking 12 minutes to charge, I tried the new cable and while it does say Mi Turbo Charge it's taking 24 minutes.
Also does anyone know of a USB-C to USB-A Male Adapter that supports 6a 67w? I have a 100w PD 2m cable from Wotobe but both ends at USB-C and the charger is USB-A

12 or 24 minute charging is impossible with the 67w charger even under Xiaomi test conditions
They claim 36 minutes is possible but that would be in a lab with zero apps, wifi, 5g, Bluetooth running in the background and controlled temperature to prevent throttling
Regardless of cable

Because thats the percentage my phone was at when the new cable arrived.
I plugged it in and it took a sec to switch to Mi Turbo Charge while the original cable says Quick Charge then Mi Turbo Charge so i used the battery app to see what was going on.

Try from 0-100%
Generally a 3x longer cable won't carry the full 67w from the brick to the phone without some loss

The one I bought says for xiaomi 6A so I guess I'll see when it comes whether it's a real deal or not...

The cable i'm testing is only 2m long. Would trying from 0-100 be any different on the cable, I tried from 59% today and again the cable was saying Mi Turbo Charge but was taking twice aslong again.

I've bought 3 cables from Geek and 1 from Aliexpress, the 3 from geek said 6A or 100w and struggled on my Huawei p30 pro nevermind this Mi 11 Ultra lol. The one from Aliexpress is 100w USB-C on both ends so i'm looking for an adapter that can support 11v/6.1a - 20v/3.25 which is difficult.
I found one earlier but its's only 20v/3a

I've typed 100w cable and literally first result looks pretty promising - https://m.aliexpress.com/item/32864...exp_id=b816ec4f-2f4b-4d7a-81eb-0c2e5a822cea-1
It's from ugreen , they make cables for years so I doubt they would lie about specs... It's not some random name. Its 5A though , 20v 5a... Idk there's 67W cables as well but it's no name brands saying for mi 11 ultra "original" z:
I would actually look for 6A cable only , I personally have 5A cable 2meters and it charges slower than my 6a cable that came with phone...
Ah fuk... I looked at review of the cables that are in transit towards me and everyone says they are not as advertised , charging slow lmao...
Well I can't help you buddy... Buy from ugreen , anker , baseus and only if they have 6A cables...
Fk these no names... I'll start dispute as soon as it gets here

The more feedbacks and descriptions that I read the more scummy all of those Chinese Sellers seem to be...
Not a single one of those 100W chargers charges at 100W actually , many report much slower charging even on 33W phones. They even tucked away in to picture that it charges xiaomi phones at 18-27W , Samsung at 15W and Huawei at 40W ...
So yeah something is not quite right....
Most likely they don't have the correct chips inside cables to facilitate higher charging speeds. Either chip shortage or manufacturers just aren't following qualcom guidelines / aren't releasing schematics to them...
Idk , all ik is that I'm pretty sad now. 99.9% of cables are all fake/not capable so if my stock cable dies I'll practically never be able to reach the same charging speeds
I'll prolly do a more thorough search sometime later ... Fucvk
