I’m coming from a OnePlus 12, and for those of you that aren’t aware, OnePlus uses a very proprietary Warp/SuperVooc charging protocol which does all of the conversions in the charging brick itself and then sends that high watt charging to the phone.
The benefit to this is that it keeps most of the heat away from the phone itself, because everything is done on the power brick side. The negative is that you can’t use longer cables than the short ones that come with the charger to get the full 80w-100w charging. I even purchased a longer cable online and tried using it. While the phone showed that it was charging at 80w, The phone diagnostics showed that it started off at 80w for a few seconds, and then settled between 25w-30w. This was even the case of the phone was under 10% battery.
My question regarding Xiaomi’s charging protocol is whether the conversions are done in the power brick or in the phone? Also, can I actually purchase a longer cable and get the full 90w charging?
Im fairly sure, I do have smart charging on. Overall the charge time is similar to the Xiaomi cable, a shower and a shave, my phone’s all charged up to 98+% from 20%.
Yes I have both the 212w Xiaomi powerbank and the cuktech PD conversion cable.
It’s done in the power brick. The cable has an extra pin in the top center on the usb A end.
I have a 2m long cable (not official but works with Xiaomi chargers from AliExpress.) and I get the full rated 67w with my xiaomi 13 and Xiaomi 15.
You just have to make sure the cable is rated for Xiaomi devices and has that extra pin. The max cable length is 3M before power degradation takes hold.
I use a 2m long cable that’s rated up to 100w and it works for the 90w brick I got with the 15 ultra, I still get the full 90w while charging.
Xiaomi hypercharge unfortunately is also somewhat proprietary. The usual Ugreen GAN fast chargers cannot activate hypercharge.

Recently got a Xiaomi 212W hypercharge powerbank that seems to also support some other charging protocols. Alternatively Cuktech products support Xiaomi hypercharge and they have “conversion” cable to enable XM hypercharging on usual GAN fast chargers.
Who?
Yes it is 6A rated, just checked.
Is your cable 6A rated? Most 100w cables are rated 5A ie 20w 5A. If it is not 6A rated you won’t get 90W hypercharge.
