For its Xiaomi 12 Pro model, Xiaomi lists the possibility of ultra-fast 120W phone charging, which should charge the smartphone in about 18 minutes. With this, this phone is supposed to be a contender for the world speed record in fast charging a smartphone. Since I am often skeptical of manufacturers' claims, I myself conducted an experiment.

First I completely drained my phone. Then he tried to charge it from 0 to 100% in completely unrealistic conditions. So with a portable electrical station in the open air, taking into account all non-"laboratory conditions". The video reveals exactly what happened and whether I succeeded!

Equipment used in the experiment:

Portable power plant: Jackery 1000
Smartphone: Xiaomi 12 Pro
