Xiaomi launches new compact GaN charger with support for 90 W fast charging

Xiaomi has introduced a compact GaN charger in China. It features one USB-C port with support for 90 W fast charging. The company notes that there's support for major charging protocols, including PD, PPS, and QC. This makes the brick compatible with a wide range of devices.

As for the design, Xiaomi highlights that the "small pudding" 90 W charger is 48% smaller than regular chargers with the same charging speed. Its weight is also said to be 33% lower than that of regular bricks. Moreover, the unit features rounded corners and has a foldable plug, which makes it travel-friendly.

With up to 90 W fast charging support, the new GaN charger is said to be capable of getting the Xiaomi 15 Pro to 83%, iPhone 16 Pro Max to 55%, and Vivo X100 Pro to 97% in 30 minutes.

Another notable highlight of this new Xiaomi charger is that it can be purchased with a bundled USB-C cable. This cable matches the overall aesthetics of the charging brick and measures 1.5 m long (1.8 m 2-pack Anker 100 W USB-C cable curr. $11.99 on Amazon).

Price-wise, the new 90 W charger, without the included cable, launched in China with a price tag of CNY 149, about $21. With the charging cable, the price is CNY 169, which converts to around $23. Xiaomi hasn't shared details about global availability and pricing yet, but the company is known for bringing most of its products outside the Chinese market.
