Xiaomi has launched a new 45W GaN mini charger in China, aiming to deliver fast, reliable power in a remarkably compact form. Priced at CNY 54.90 (about $8), this pocket-friendly adapter supports multiple fast-charging standards and works with a wide range of devices, including popular Android phones and the latest iPhones.
According to the company, the 45W output can top up many smartphones from 0% to over 50% in roughly 30 minutes. Claimed results include reaching 60% on Redmi Note 14 Pro, 57% on Note 15, and 55% on iPhone 16 Pro Max within half an hour. Support for PPS, QC, and PD protocols means broad compatibility across phones, tablets, and even lower-powered accessories.
Built with GaN technology, the charger is designed to be smaller and more efficient than traditional silicon-based adapters. Xiaomi says it’s 47% smaller than typical 45W chargers, and the foldable prongs make it easy to slip into a pocket or travel pouch. That combination of size and performance makes it an appealing everyday carry for commuters, students, and frequent travelers.
The price is another highlight. At around $8 in China, it undercuts many competing compact adapters without skimping on speed or flexibility. Note that no charging cable is included in the box, so you’ll need to pair it with a cable rated for fast charging to get the best results.
Global availability has not been announced yet. However, the brand often brings accessories to international markets, so a wider release may follow.
