The remote charging released by Xiaomi this time undoubtedly provides a mature solution for the power supply problem of smart devices in the future. Imagine that you come home with a mobile phone that is running out of power. When you step into the house, the mobile phone that is about to turn off miraculously rushes to the power supply. People no longer have to rush to find a charger.
For everyday users, in the conventional wired charging, the length of the wire is about one meter. I believe many people have experienced the embarrassing scene that they want to play with their mobile phones while charging, but there is no plug-in next to them. Air charging solves these problems well.
Of course, the change of life by air charging does not stop there. If I want to summarize this technology, there is only one key word: no feeling.
Let's give a similar example: Why can Apple's Airpods change people's habit of using headphones? It is because Airpods has got rid of the shackles of any connection and truly achieved the five-sense experience of putting on, taking off and stopping. On Xiaomi, if the technology is mature enough, the future "air charging" will inevitably change the charging habits of users. If all major shopping malls provide charging piles in the future, then manufacturers who enjoy charging treasures will definitely be overwhelmed.
Although some people say that the power of 5W is not worth mentioning compared with the current 50W wireless fast charging, it should be clear that the mainstream wireless charging now is to bind the mobile phone to the charging board. Compared with wired charging, it only saves the step of plugging in the cable, and there is still a long way to go to play with the mobile phone while charging without any restrictions. Although the power of long-distance charging is only 5W, think about it. As long as it is within the range, it can be charged all the time. Do you still think that the charging speed of 5W is slow? (If you still feel slow, you can ask Apple users.)
Looking at the significance of charging technology from a distance, in fact, it is far from letting everyone play mobile phones while charging. You can think deeply about what Xiaomi sells besides mobile phones. Yes, it is the Mijia smart home series.
Xiaomi Mijia, as the leading enterprise of domestic smart home manufacturers, has numerous smart home products. The addition of air charging technology has undoubtedly freed these smart homes from the shackles of dry batteries or wires. TV remote controller, weighing scale, aromatherapy machine, intelligent cat's eye, electric curtain, portable desk lamp. Almost all these household products can be directly covered by this remote charging system, that is to say, we no longer have to worry about the power supply of these devices. The power of 5W is nothing for the mobile phone industry, but it is a huge leap for the smart home industry.
There are a large number of devices that are no longer limited by the location of the distribution frame. There are a large number of devices that can only be connected via Bluetooth due to battery power problems, and WiFi connection can be used for long-distance charging. Xiaomi once released the Internet of Things router and connected many smart devices through the network. This time, the appearance of long-distance charging really connected these devices together.
Perhaps the smart home in the future should be like this: a new device is connected to the network, and various chips identify each other whether it is one of their own, whether they can supply power to it, and then locate it through the Internet of Things chip, and finally the wireless charging pile supplies power to this device. Although the process seems a bit complicated, all this is done in a very short time. All we users have to do is add devices to our home on the app.
In fact, before that, I always predicted that Apple would launch this technology first. However, Xiaomi's "no man's land of science and technology" has brought many surprises to many rice noodles, and Xiaomi has gradually got rid of the big hat of "supply chain technology" and "no core technology". However, the charging power of 5W really needs to be further optimized. However, since Xiaomi has achieved a breakthrough from 0 to 1, I think it will not take long to optimize the charging power.
After Xiaomi used MIX to clarify the direction of future mobile phones, Xiaomi finally made people feel that he was providing future-oriented products again. Long-distance charging is a technology that people expect. Putting a charger far away in Xiaomi's house in the future is as effective as asking a celebrity to endorse it. The future, that's it?
