Honestly getting a bit tired by this weird battery-charging arms race. I honestly would prefer a slow-charger (that can still charge the phone while in use) and let the battery fill up steadily, keeping temps low and preserving the long-term health of the battery

I agree and would like to have a setting on my phone that would let me control that. But you're kind of missing the point here, this is made not only to charge phones but also laptops, in a very small package which is very convenient, for instance for traveling.

Who do you trust then? Almost everything is manufactured in China and it's not like Xiaomi is a no name brand that just started out, they're an established brand with a decent reputation.

Also the charger is not in direct contact with the battery, the phone, laptop or whatever device has a converter that handles the actual charging, any damage to the battery is the device responsability and not the charger.

It looks like the overall physical design  makes for less  inter-compatibility for other countries.  the straight US / Japan  style  power prongs are folded into the case.   so  things like  Euro  or Australia  like plugs  would require a different  case...   and that makes it less likely to exist.  though it still might,  its not like they made it so  it would be   a  simple click on block to make it work with other  Countries.   which would have made it a  pretty good travel charger option.....

I have the same charger sold under the ZMI brand. Great unit for the price. Comes with a type c cable and runs super cool with a yoga 920.

Yeah right, what do I know, your vague and generalized (and probably sinophobic) comment is a lot more accurate no doubt

I swear, the comment section on this site is getting worse and worse each day
