Smartphone industries are growing day by day and every time we came to see a brand new phone with some extraordinary features. And along with the smartphone industries company that develops components of the phones are also growing. Every time when we see smartphone manufacturers like Xiaomi or Samsung and many more hold an entire for one or two hours talking about the unique features of the phone like processor, camera, display software, and battery along with the charging speed.
Recently Xiaomi held one of its events in which the company announced new charging tech which we can probably see in the upcoming Xiaomi smartphone. The Hypercharge tech by Xiaomi, which develops adapters of 200 watts or 120 watts and a 120-watt wireless charging dock. The figure looks very attractive and sounds fascinating, the company also showcased that your phone’s battery can charge up to full in less than 15 minutes. But Xiaomi mentioned nothing about how they are going to implement this tech and even how a smartphone battery going to handle this much power.
Let’s have a look into the advantages and disadvantages of having super-fast charging.
Dis-advantages of super fast charging :
Providing this much amount of power to the smartphones battery can heat your device. Or we all know heat is not a good sign for battery.
Fast charging like 120 watts or 200 watts can make your smartphone battery dead in a short time only. Means probably after one or one and half year your battery will not provide good backup.
Heat created during fast charging can ultimately weaken your smartphone performance.
This extra heat during fast charging can also affect other hardware components of the smartphone, however companies have grown, and this is not an issue in 2021.
Advantages of super fast charging :
The only advantage one can see, that your smartphone is going to charge in less than 30 minutes and you can again start playing games or any entertainment purpose. Or someone who forgets to charge the phone and reminds of it at the last minute, then it is very useful. And nothing.
Conclusion :
It is very simple that no one really needs fast charging of 200 watts and you can have an idea about this by looking at brands like Apple and Samsung, these two companies still provide charging brick of 18 watts or 25 watts max in the smartphone boxes. Having fast charging of 30 watts or 25 watts does not affect your smartphone’s battery life like a 200-watt fast charger can do. So a fast charging of up to 30 watts can also charge your phone very well.
US electric car maker Tesla launched a cheaper version of its Model Y on Thursday in China, facing increased scrutiny from regulators and growing competition from local rivals.

The USB-IF Forum, the body responsible for adopting USB technologies, announced a new generation that increases the charging capacity from 100 watts to 240, which opens the way for the use of a single USB-C cable to easily charge all electronic devices.
The new generation offers this remarkable upgrade in charging capacity, through a new feature called Extended Power Range, or EPR, which provided more than double the charging capacity, according to The Verge.
The forum set two standards that must be adhered to by the manufacturers of electric chargers with the new technology, which is that the wires support the voltage of up to 5 amperes and the intensity of current up to 50 volts.
The forum warned against the use of charger heads not intended to support the new technology with charging wires with the new EPR technology, indicating that this could cause damage to the wires.
The arrival of the new generation of chargers that support the new technology is expected to start at the end of this year or early 2022.
The social networking site Twitter announced the abolition of the artificial intelligence algorithm to automatically crop pictures on its platform, nine months after the platform first started receiving complaints that the feature “removes the faces of people with brown skin from the photos.”

Twitter said, at the time, that it “tested the image preview cropping algorithm before launching the feature, and found no biases, but admitted later that it had more analyzes and tests to study it.”
Maybe 5 years ago, if you asked someone if they’d agree to board a drone, they would likely refuse. He might even think it’s crazy, but not anymore. With all the training, safety measures, and precautions that are taken into consideration in the field of aviation, however, without a doubt, accidents do occur, and human error is inevitable no matter how we try to avoid it. But technology and the development witnessed by our time have solved many of the problems and gaps that we suffer from in many areas of life. The field of aircraft is not excluded from it.
unpiloted planes have been taken in earnest, and we consider this step a big leap. So what’s new here?
Reliable Robots and Xwing are two startups in the Gulf region that are building aircraft that can fly on their own unpiloted planes, Instead of building new aircraft, both companies have modified Cessna Grand Caravans. Airplanes can fly autonomously while a remote operator monitors the flight, and only takes control if needed. Both companies said they are working with major logistics companies to deliver cargo as an initial draw or as a trial run for the move, once approved by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Xwing tried it out in action, as a plane was taken on a test flight and the pilot did not touch the controls, not even once, and it went well.
