Anyone got links to buy original xiaomi 67W charger?
Saw this one. Someone posted that this is obviously fake. Wonder how to differentiate.

I don't mind to use compatible non original charger but must be safe enough. Best is use 3 pin instead of 2 pin.
Can i buy 80W or 65W charger and still expect it to be very fast charging? Or will it simply charge at slow speed once it is different from 67W?

I gotten from Xiaomi Store @ Funan 3-pin 67W charger for 39.90. Any other physical Xiaomi store should have also.

I am using a 4 port 1A3C 65W charger from UGreen. 1.5 years already still good and 3 pins. I hate those 2-pins one that comes with the phone lol. But for mine, while it states 65W, i think it's max 65W and none of the port charges at 65W cos maybe mine is older model.

Get those new models ones where you can fold the pins in for easier to keep if you bring it around.

I am confused between GaN and PD chargers. Dunno which one is suitable or better for poco f5. Best is compact, lightweight and can charge 2 to 3 devices at same time.

GaN is a type of charger, so they use gallium nitride instead of silicon which allow charger to be significantly smaller.

PD is protocol, both charger and phone need to support 65W, 18W kind.

No need GaN to have PD charger

So pd requires protocol, but gan no need protocol n yet can immediately use the highest watt or voltage that is meant for the device?

No GaN is just a smaller / more efficient charger. It will still depend on the charger and phone to negotiate (based on support) the watt.

GaN still need PD to hit the certain watt.

I bought Xiaomi 12 (8+128 GB) for $327 about 2 weeks+ ago.

11.11 is no longer the most value-for-money sale.

IMHO

your XM 12 a bit "special" cos its uses the 8G1 which prone to overheating and battery drain (power inefficiency)

thats why they offer much more price drop for this particular fone so that can faster clear all its remaining stocks

and they do it just weeks before 11.11 so that they can "focus" more on other remaining fone stocks cum 11.11 itself (just nice coincide with long weekend hols for Deepavali)
