Xiaomi Air Charger Technology Explained

The patented technology surpasses the need for cables or a wireless charging stand, making it truly wireless. The Chinese company has made use of a special device shaped like a tower/box that uses beamforming technology to send millimeter waves directly to a device. These waves are converted to electric power that charges the device.

Xiaomi's tower device is equipped with five phase-detection antennas that pick out a smartphone or any compatible device within seconds. Plus, the Xiaomi Air Charger Technology has 144 beamforming antennas that transfer millimeter waves. To note, smartphones pack two antenna arrays, but especially for this technology, these antennas are much smaller in size.

Xiaomi Air Charger Technology For Home Appliances, Wearables

The company says in a blog post that the Xiaomi Mi Air Charger Technology supports multiple devices at the same time at a long-range at a maximum power of 5W per device. That comes as a bummer as several wireless technologies for phones support 80W. It looks like Xiaomi is aiming for smaller devices and home appliances, rather than smartphones.

It's not science fiction, it's technology.
