With its ridiculous 300W charging technology for devices, Redmi is now making a name for itself in the rapid charging market. The sub-brand of Xiaomi has released a preview for this new feature that will be available on some of its upcoming products. Redmi claims that with this charging pace, a phone can be completely charged in under 5 minutes, which is absurd.

The business has a video to support its assertion and demonstrate how a Redmi phone accomplishes this. Redmi claims that for its trials, it used the 4100mAh Redmi Note 12 Discovery version. According to the manufacturer, the phone's charging technology can reach 50% of its capacity in 2 minutes and 11 seconds and 100% in less than 5 minutes.
