Qualcommβs Quick Charge technology has become the standard for fast charging smartphones, and Xiaomi is actively integrating it into its devices. But not all models support this feature β some use proprietary solutions like HyperCharge or Turbo Charge, and others are limited to basic protocols. In this article, we will discuss which Xiaomi phones are compatible with Quick Charge 3.0, 4+ and 5, how to check support on your device and what nuances are important to consider when choosing a charger.
Itβs important to understand that even if a smartphone supports Quick Charge, its actual charging speed depends on three factors: protocol version, power supply and cable quality. For example, Xiaomi 12 Pro with Quick Charge 5 can charge 100% in 18 minutes, but only when using the original adapter 120 watts. But budget models like Redmi Note 12 limited to 33 watts, despite support for Quick Charge 4+.
In this article you will find:
- π± Full list of Xiaomi, Redmi and POCO Quick Charge (by generation).
- β‘ Charging speeds comparison: what do versions 3.0, 4 give?+ and 5 in practice.
- π Compatible with other brands (Samsung, OnePlus, Google).
- β οΈ Common Errors That Reduce Charging Speed (and How to Avoid Them).
1. Quick Charge vs HyperCharge vs Turbo Charge: What is Xiaomi using?
Xiaomi has three main fast charging technologies:
- π Quick Charge (QC) β Qualcomm's licensed protocol, compatible with most flagship smartphones running Snapdragon processors. Supports 3.0 (18 watts), 4+ (up to 27 W and 5 (up to 100)+ Watt).
- β‘ HyperCharge β a proprietary development of Xiaomi for ultrafast charging (120-200 W), used in flagships Xiaomi 12T Pro, 13 Pro, etc.
- π Turbo Charge - a simplified version for budget models (Redmi, POCO), usually limited to 18-33 watts.
The main difference is that Quick Charge is a universal standard that works with other brands (such as Samsung or Google), but HyperCharge requires original Xiaomi accessories and is often incompatible with third devices.
Many Xiaomi smartphones support both protocols, such as the Xiaomi 11T Pro can charge on both Quick Charge 5 (up to 67 watts) and HyperCharge (120 watts), but you need a proprietary adapter for maximum speed.
2. Complete list of Xiaomi smartphones with Quick Charge support (2026)
Below is a table with the latest models Xiaomi, Redmi and POCO, supporting Quick Charge 3.0/4+/5. Data is based on official specifications and tests of independent laboratories (for example, GSMArena and DXOMARK).
| Model | Quick Charge Version | Max. power (Watt) | Additional protocols |
|---|---|---|---|
| Xiaomi 14 Ultra | Quick Charge 5 | 90 | HyperCharge (120 watts) |
| Xiaomi 13 Pro | Quick Charge 5 | 120 | HyperCharge (120 watts) |
| Xiaomi 12S Ultra | Quick Charge 4+ | 67 | HyperCharge (67W) |
| POCO F5 Pro | Quick Charge 4+ | 67 | Turbo Charge (67W) |
| Redmi Note 12 Pro+ | Quick Charge 3.0 | 33 | β |
Important: Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE and Redmi Note 10 Pro officially support Quick Charge 3.0, but in real tests show a charging speed of no more than 25 watts due to hardware limitations.
Complete list of models by series:
- π± Xiaomi flagships (series) 11β14): All models support the Quick Charge 4+/5 + HyperCharge.
- π° Mid-segment (POCO F/Redmi K): usually Quick Charge 4+ (33β67 Watt).
- π Budget models (Redmi) Note/A): Quick Charge 3.0 (18β33 Wh) or without support.
Why do some models not support Quick Charge?
3.How to check if your Xiaomi Quick Charge supports?
There are three reliable ways to determine the compatibility of your smartphone with Quick Charge:
- Official specs: Go to mi.com, find your model, and check the Battery and Charging section. Look for Quick Charge 3.0/4+/5 or QC 3.0 mentions.
- AccuBattery (Android): After connecting charging, open the Charging tab β it will indicate the current power and supported protocols.
- QC charging test: connect your smartphone to a certified Quick Charge power supply (such as from Samsung or Anker).If the charging speed exceeds 15 watts, the protocol is supported.
β οΈ Attention: Some firmware MIUI Artificially limit the charging speed when using non-original accessories. To remove the restriction, go to Settings β Battery β Charging settings and disable the option "Optimize charging".
βοΈ Checking for Quick Charge support
4. Quick Charge Compatibility with Charges of Other Brands
One of the key benefits of Quick Charge is cross-brand compatibility, which means you can use chargers from other manufacturers as long as they are certified to QC 3.0/4+/5.
Examples of compatible charges:
- π Samsung (series) EP-TA800, EP-TA845) β Supports Quick Charge 2.0/3.0.
- β‘ Anker (PowerPort models) III, Nano II) β certified QC 4+.
- π± Google (charging from Pixel) 6/7) β compatible QC 4+.
- π Belkin (BoostCharge series) - supported by QC 3.0.
But there are nuances:
- π΄ Apple Charges (Even 20W) Are Not Compatible with Quick Charge β They Use the Protocol USB-PD.
- π‘ OnePlus Chargers (like Warp Charge) work with Xiaomi, but the speed will be limited to 18W.
- π’ For maximum speed on flagships (Xiaomi 13 Pro, POCO F5 Pro) better use original power supplies.
π‘
If your Xiaomi is slow to charge QC-If you're charging, try changing the cable, cheap cables often don't support high currents (3A)+) limit the speed to 10-15 watts.
5. Typical Quick Charge Issues on Xiaomi and How to Solve Them
Users often find that Xiaomiβs smartphone doesnβt charge at full speed, despite Quick Charge support.
β οΈ Note: If your Xiaomi is warming up while charging and the speed drops to 5-10W, this may be due to activation of thermothrottle.To avoid overheating, charge the device at temperatures below 30WΒ°C and take off your case.
- π Low charging power: Problem: the smartphone is charged at 10-15 watts instead of the declared 30+ Solution: Check the power supply (should support) QC 3.0+) and cable (needed) USB-C 3.1 with 5A support. Also update the firmware MIUI β In older versions there are bugs with protocol recognition.
- β‘ Charging interrupts: Problem: charging starts and stops. Solution: clear the port USB-C dust-free (use a wooden toothpick) and check the cable for damage. If the problem persists, try another adapter.
- π Battery only charges up to 80%: Problem: Smartphone stops charging by 80-85% Solution: Turn off Adaptive Charging in Settings β Battery β Charging settings: This option extends battery life but limits maximum charge.

If your Xiaomi doesnβt recognize Quick Charge, try resetting your battery settings: Go to Settings β Apps β App Management β Three dots (menu) β Reset your application settings.
6. Quick Charge 5 vs HyperCharge: Which is faster in practice?
Compare the two top charging technologies on the example of Xiaomi 13 Pro (supports both):
| Parameter | Quick Charge 5 | HyperCharge |
|---|---|---|
| Max. Power. | 100+ Watt | 120-200 W |
| Charging time 0-100% | ~25 minutes. | ~18 minutes |
| Compatibility with other brands | Yes (Samsung, Google, Anker) | No (only Xiaomi) |
| Heating the device | Moderate. | Strong (refrigeration required) |
In practice, HyperCharge wins in speed, but has two critical drawbacks:
- It requires the use of the original power supply and cable, and third-party brands will not charge more than 60-80 watts.
- Strongly warms the smartphone β with intensive charging, the temperature can reach 45-50 Β° C, which reduces the battery life.
Quick Charge 5 is more versatile and battery-safe, but loses in speed. The best choice depends on your priorities:
- π Maximum speed β HyperCharge (but only with original accessories).
- π Universality β Quick Charge 5 (works with other brands).
7.How to choose a charger for Xiaomi with Quick Charge?
When buying a power supply for a Xiaomi smartphone with Quick Charge support, pay attention to the following parameters:
- π Power: For QC 3.0 enough 18β30 Wh. For QC 4+/5 need a block 30β65 W (e.g. Anker) 735 or Baseus 65W).
- π Protocol: Look for the Quick Charge logo on the package 3.0/4+/5 lettering QC 3.0 Avoid cheap no-name charges - they can damage the battery.
- π Type of connector: For modern Xiaomi need USB-C (not USB-A!). For older models (Redmi) 4X, Mi A1) Micro-USB is fine.
- π‘οΈ Protection: Certificates are required CE, RoHS and support for overheating/overvoltage protection.
Recommended models of chargers:
- π° Budget option: Xiaomi MDY-12-ED (33 Watts, QC 3.0) β ~1 500 β½.
- β‘ Best choice: Anker PowerPort III 65W (QC 4+, USB-C) β ~3 000 β½.
- π Premium: Baseus 100W GaN (QC 5, 2 ports) β ~4 500 β½.
β οΈ Warning: Never use chargers higher than your smartphone supports! for example, if your Redmi Note 11 is 33W, connecting to a 120W unit won't speed up charging, but could damage the power controller.
