Emir BardakçıXiaomi has officially announced the intake of orders for a new 90W GaN charger via its Youpin platform. The charger is “1A2C”, with two Type-C ports and a single USB-A port. It supports a number of fast-charging protocols and offers flexible power distribution. Simultaneously, it keeps a compact and portable design with foldable pins. At 199 yuan (approximately $30) it’s positioned as an affordable yet fairly reliable power solution for a number of devices.
Features of Xiaomi’s 90W GaN Charger
- Flexible Power Distribution Between Ports: Xiaomi’s 90W GaN charger provides power distribution for a variety of charging needs:
- Single-Port Power Delivery: Up to 90W through any one Type-C single port would suffice pretty well in the case of laptop charging, tablet computers, or any high-power device.
- Dual Port Charging: If charging via two ports simultaneously, then up to 67W (Type-C) +18W (USB-A) output can be provided. Triple-Port Charging: And when all three ports are in use, power output is divided into 67W for Type-C1 and 15W for Type-C2 + USB-A combined. That would be convenient for charging, say, a smartphone, tablet, and small device at one time.
- Compatibility with Multiple Fast-Charging Protocols: The charger currently supports Xiaomi’s proprietary charging protocols, along with industry-standard fast charging protocols such as Power Delivery and Quick Charge. The charger supports both PD and PPS, so it will power up a wide array of devices very efficiently, even those outside Xiaomi’s portfolio.
- Compact and Portable Design with Foldable Pins: Designed with utmost portability, the 90W GaN charger comes with a foldable pin design that enables users to keep it in their bags or pocket without the fear of damage to the pins. Similarly, with the use of GaN technology, the charger is compact and more efficient compared to the presence of GaN technology using traditional silicon-based chargers.
- Made with Safety and Durability in Mind: This charger from Xiaomi is manufactured using fireproof and high-temperature-resistant material at the grade of UL94-V0. Therefore, it ensures better safety. It also includes intelligent temperature control and multiple layers of protection against overcharge, overheat, and short circuit for long, comfortable charging.
