More than a week ago, Xiaomi made us very happy with the introduction of new products, including the long-awaited smartphone Xiaomi Mi MIX 4. He attracted in particular with his solution of the front selfie camera, which is hidden under the display. We will now learn that the manufacturer has also added a new Smart Charging feature to it.
The function slows down the aging of the battery
Smart Charging is a function that protects the smartphone battery from overcharging. Xiaomi has previously tested a feature called Xiaomi Indicator. It estimated the health of the battery and was first introduced in a smartphone Redmi Footnote 10.
The new Smart Charging feature is exclusively available for smartphones only Xiaomi Mi MIX 4. However, it is possible that it will also get into other smartphones, whether the Xiaomi Mi 12 series or by updating the system. Maybe it could be one of the innovations of the MIUI 13 superstructure, which should focus on the user experience and overall optimization.
According to Xiaomi, this feature works with artificial intelligence (AI), which over time can machine-learn the user's daily charging habits. Based on long-term data, this function will regulate the battery, thus extending its life.
This feature allows the device to charge slowly at night, and as soon as the user wakes up, for example according to the set alarm, the device intentionally transmits more current and ensures that the device is fully charged in the morning. In the long run, the intelligent charging function quickly protects the battery from aging.
If this problem of battery aging were solved, people might change their smartphones in both two- and three-year cycles, so that the environment would not be less harmful. The solution is also the replacement of the battery and the associated further peaceful use of the smartphone, where a fast-discharging battery will no longer be a problem.

How do you like this battery charging solution? I do not like. Some determination of charging on the base. habits, settings made (alarm clock) or night / day is awesome, but the error is MANUAL, once again MANUAL setting.
Just like a SLR: there is a car to focus on, a car to illuminate, a car on time, but there are also MANUAL modes.
Here I would welcome in addition to AI AUTOmatics as follows:
(I'm not condemning AUTOMATIC either, it can be a great thing after "practicing", but the MANUAL setting is wrong), e.g.
– selection of the charging process, e.g. 2,5W-5W-10W-12W-18W-25W-33W-50W-65W-100W-120W-200W (of course only when the smartphone allows it, e.g. Redmi Note 10 Pro would end at 33W, the charger must be capable of that as well)
- eventually select the maximum charging current for 5V (that current would not be exceeded during the entire charging curve, possibly it could only be smaller in the starting and running-out part of the charging curve, so it would be the maximum possible charging current), e.g. max. 300mA-500mA-750mA-1000mA-1500mA-2000mA-2400mA-3000mA
(these things are taken care of by modern fast charging protocols such as quick charge or usb power delivery, where it is lubricated completely automatically, voltage eg after 20 mV steps for usb power delivery up to 20V and current up to 5A, so it gives 100W , but you should also be able to choose for yourself, that's why it's called MANUAL mode)
- as an essential basis, I consider the possibility to set the flashlight to charge only to a certain number of%, e.g. only to 90-85-80%, simply ALWAYS after reaching e.g. 85% of the charge will stop charging SAME and end even if the phone is on the charger and it stays at 85%… as I really do not understand why it is not in smartphones for at least 5 years as a build-in feature in the system settings
– overall, globally, this AI AUTOMATIC could be supplemented by a second dumb (“stupid”) hard mode, e.g. in style: between 22:00-06:00 charge only with 5W, otherwise 25W
