Xiaomi has unveiled a compact, high-power charging station designed to tidy up modern workspaces — combining multiple USB ports and traditional AC outlets in one sleek unit. It promises laptop-grade speeds alongside smart safety features, all for an affordable price.
A single hub to cut cable clutter
Imagine one tidy device powering your laptop, phone, headphones and a few other gadgets without juggling chargers. Xiaomi's new charging station does exactly that: two USB-C ports, two USB-A ports and four standard AC sockets are packed into a minimalist enclosure meant for desks at home or in the office. The company plans to launch the product via a crowdfunding campaign next week with an introductory price of 299 yuan (about $42).
Ports and performance that punch above their size
What stands out is raw charging ability. USB-C1 and USB-C2 each support up to 140W through PD 3.1 — enough to charge high-end MacBooks and powerful Windows laptops at full speed when connected. Xiaomi also supports its 120W fast-charge standard on USB-C1, USB-C2 and USB-A1, making these ports suitable for fast phones and tablets.
- 2 × USB-C (USB-C1, USB-C2) — up to 140W PD 3.1 per port
- 2 × USB-A — one high-speed (USB-A1) and one low-current (USB-A2) for small accessories
- 4 × AC outlets for monitors, chargers or other plug-in devices
The dedicated low-current USB-A2 is intentionally limited to protect small accessories like Bluetooth earphones, smartwatches and fitness bands from overheating — a thoughtful touch for keeping delicate gadgets safe.
Smarter power distribution and safety
Under the hood, a smart energy-management chip monitors and dynamically reallocates power across all ports. That means when you plug or unplug a device the station instantly adjusts output to keep charging stable and uninterrupted. The unit also includes standard safety protections — overcurrent, overvoltage, overtemperature and short-circuit safeguards — plus an anti-slip base and a clean, professional finish suited to both home and office environments.
Who should consider this charger?
If you work from a compact desk, juggle multiple devices, or want one power solution that handles a laptop and accessories without a tangle of adapters, this Xiaomi hub is worth a look. It’s especially compelling for users who need true laptop-level PD speeds and the convenience of integrated AC sockets.
With a balance of high wattage, mixed-port versatility and safety features, Xiaomi’s charging station aims to replace several single-purpose chargers and bring order to the busiest desks.
