Just in today's day, Xiaomi has just shown and sold one new cable for connecting and charging your devices. It looks much more cautious than the cable supplied with the phones, from the very low price ... but a step back in terms of speed.
This new Xiaomi cable surely gives the impression of being more durable and more resistant than the rounded cable that we all found in the pack of our Xiaomi smartphone. The flat profile, which does not make it easier to twist and twist, ensures a good seal for this new cable from length of 1.2 meters, which will be marketed in 3 colors: gray, orange and blue.
Another difference compared to the classic Xiaomi cable is to present one best soldering of connectors which, at the same time, are more stable during connection, thus avoiding the risk of detachment during PC operations. To confirm this, we find directions on type of construction: Made with 4 Copper Wires, wrapped individually in a nylon housing to increase its tenacity, the two exterior are dedicated to recharging, while the 2 internal to the data transmission.
If we were to find a sore note, and find it, we need to specify that the cable only supports it Quick Charge 2.0, with a data transmission rate up to 480 Mbps. Not the most, given that we are going to QC 4.0 and that it could have been compatible with at least the most popular charging technology at the moment: the Quick Charge 3.0.
Probably the selling price played a key role as the new cable Xiaomi USB Type-C Flat is sold for only 16.90 yuan, poco more than 3 €.
