Xiaomi’s upcoming 17 series has announced full compatibility with the 100W PPS universal charging protocol. This means that users can achieve full-speed fast charging regardless of whether they use a Xiaomi charger or a third-party charger that supports the protocol. Previously， Xiaomi’s full-speed charging often relied on proprietary protocols， necessitating the use of Xiaomi or compatible devices like Coolpad for optimal charging speeds.
This move towards universal PPS compatibility is a significant step in enhancing user convenience and interoperability within the fast-charging ecosystem. It breaks down the reliance on specific brand chargers， offering greater flexibility and potentially reducing accessory costs for consumers.
According to Xiaomi’s official announcement， the 100W “Pengpai Seconds Charge” on the Xiaomi 17 series is capable of fully charging the device in approximately 40 minutes. This is a notable improvement and a testament to the advancements in charging speed and efficiency.
Beyond fast charging， the battery technology in the Xiaomi 17 series has also seen substantial upgrades. The Xiaomi 17 Pro series， in particular， features the new “Sandstone River” battery， which is the first to utilize an L-shaped stacked battery technology. This innovative approach to battery design is typically found in iPhones due to its higher manufacturing costs and stringent safety requirements.
The adoption of L-shaped， or irregularly shaped， batteries allows for a more efficient utilization of internal space within the smartphone. By maximizing the use of available nooks and crannies， manufacturers can integrate larger capacity batteries， leading to extended device lifespan on a single charge. This is a critical factor for users who demand longer usage times from their devices.
Furthermore， Xiaomi has achieved an impressive 16% silicon content in its batteries. This high silicon content significantly increases battery energy density， allowing for larger capacities to be packed into the same physical volume. This technological advancement directly contributes to the overall battery performance and longevity of the devices.
According to leaks， the specific battery configurations for the Xiaomi 17 series are as follows:
Xiaomi 17: 7000mAh battery with 90W wired fast charging and wireless charging.
Xiaomi 17 Pro: 6300mAh battery with 100W wired fast charging and wireless charging.
Xiaomi 17 Pro Max: 7500mAh battery with 100W wired fast charging and wireless charging.
These specifications highlight a significant commitment to battery life and charging capabilities across the entire Xiaomi 17 lineup， reinforcing the brand’s focus on user experience and technological innovation.
