Xiaomi has put a compact 100W GaN charger bundle on its Youpin platform in China, pairing a high-power adapter with a 1-meter USB-A to USB-C cable for 169 yuan ($25). The Xiaomi 100W GaN charger uses a USB-A port instead of USB-C, but it still aims to deliver fast charging for Xiaomi and iPhone phones while keeping the price low.
Xiaomi 100W GaN charger specs
The charger measures 55.9 x 49.3 x 28mm and weighs 106 grams, making it small enough for travel without pretending physics has been cancelled. It uses gallium nitride technology to improve efficiency and reduce heat versus traditional silicon-based chargers, and Xiaomi gives it a single USB-A port with a maximum 100W output.
- Output modes: 5V/3A, 9V/3A, 11V/6.1A, 20V/5A
- Cable: 1-meter USB-A to USB-C, rated for 6A
- Price: 169 yuan ($25)
Charging claims for Xiaomi and iPhone phones
Xiaomi says the adapter can bring the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max and 17 Pro to 83% in 30 minutes, while the Xiaomi 17 reaches 63% to 67% in the same span. The same charger also gets the iPhone 17 Pro Max and 17 Pro to 72% and 70% in 30 minutes, although Apple’s charging limits mean the full 100W headline number is more marketing theater than practical reality on those devices.
That mix of cross-brand support and a bundled high-current cable is the smart part here. Xiaomi is selling a charger that works across a broad range of devices while keeping the package simple, and that’s a useful counterpoint to the growing pile of USB-C-only bricks that can be annoyingly picky about cables and power negotiation.
Safety features and build
The adapter includes protection against overvoltage, overcurrent, overheating, short circuits, undervoltage, and electromagnetic interference. Xiaomi also says the outer casing uses UL94-V0 fire-resistant material, which is the sort of detail you hope never to test, but definitely want in a 100W charger you may leave plugged in for long stretches.
For now, this looks like another sign that Xiaomi is still comfortable squeezing practical hardware into small packages while keeping prices aggressive. If the bundle leaves China, the bigger question will be whether USB-A at 100W is a clever compatibility play or just a final flourish from a connector standard that refuses to die quietly.
