By now, wireless charging technology has definitely taken hold and it is not so rare to find smartphones that integrate the ability to recharge wirelessly even at high speeds. In short, the future probably reserves us the abandonment of flying cables but above all of different standards between devices and devices. In fact, how many times have you happened to ask if someone had a charger but the charging cable was not compatible with the standard of your phone?
A real nuisance to which Xiaomi seems to want to crack down considerably, so much so that the company's plans for next year include the abandonment of USB charging ports. Oh yes, you got it right, Lei Jun's company is willing to resume what Meizu had launched some time ago with its Meizu Zero, a revolutionary concept phone that was not equipped with any charging input, on the contrary it went further by eliminating any hole and button that could "dirty" the design of the smartphone.
Xiaomi could make the USB charging ports disappear from their smartphones within a year
And just like Meizu Zero, Xiaomi according to its designers and engineers has declared that it wants to launch a terminal without USB ports in 2022. A jolt for other smartphone manufacturers or an announced flop? If we consider the history of Meizu Zero, the answer could be taken for granted on a papabile flop, but rumors indicate that it is not only Xiaomi who is thinking about the launch of smartphones without USB connectors for charging, also by virtue of the fact that the charging technology wireless is increasingly present in the daily life of users, as well as the fact that the prices of this technology are much more accessible than in the past.
Someone perhaps does not know, but in reality Xiaomi has already presented its smartphone prototype without USB, indeed in addition to this renunciation, the device does not integrate any physical button, offering a Quad Curve Waterfall display, which through pressure and gesture allows you to control all system interface, including volumes and power on / off.
Will we really be ready to change our smartphone charging habits and abandon the physical sensation of buttons on a smartphone? And if this were the future, would you agree? Who knows if Apple does not get there first and then see all the OEMs of Android smartphones adapt like goats following their shepherd, just as happened with the notch and the abandonment of the 3,5 mm jack.
