Xiaomi Qingmi Car Charger Review – A Premium Built at a Budget- Friendly Price

The Unboxing

Xiaomi Qingmi Car Charger comes inside a transparent plastic packaging. The gray car charger and the blue Xiaomi Qingmi logo are prominent under the white background. The highlights of the car charger are mentioned one by one on the front right side, clearly visible under the transparent cover.

The back side standardizes the detailed parameters of the product which includes the product model QU0020, input 12~24V, single port output 5V/2.4A, and dual port total output 5V/3.6A. It is manufactured by Qingmi (Beijing) Technology Co., Ltd.

Sadly, there’s nothing interesting when it comes to accessories. The manufacturer has only provided the users with the user manual (in Chinese) and the car charger itself in the packaging. However, it’s totally fine for the manufacturer to provide no USB cables with the product, since the price of the product itself is quite affordable.

Design & Appearance

Speaking of the design and appearance first,  Qingmi car charger (model QU0020) is forged from aluminum alloy and follows the three-stage design similar to the popular Redmi 6 smartphone series.

Bid farewell to the cheap feeling of plastic car charger, adding a metallic beauty to the car. I believe that a metal car charger is always the best partner for leather seated car. In the car, I was tired of looking at various leather cushions. I inadvertently pick up this metal car charger and it brings a lot of freshness.

The curves and the compartments are clearly defined. Furthermore, the head is sleek (has a sleek transition design) making it more eye-catching and convenient to insert and pull.

The two USB ports are provided at the rear, which are excellent in workmanship. A 45° cutting angle is used at the corner to highlight the unique luster of the metal.

It is worth mentioning that the dual USB ports of the car charger surrounds by a circular blue LED indicators so that you can know the working status of it at any time. When using at night, you can see it clearly without turning on the lights.

Hardware & Performance

In terms of specifications, the input ranges around 12~24V, single port output 5V/2.4A, dual port total output 5V/3.6A. The dual USB ports intelligently identifies the charging device and automatically matches the appropriate current without damaging the phone.

• Intelligent identification of matching current

Our Verdict

Though other car chargers might have these features but none of them can offer these highlights at such stupendous price. Even if we miss features like voice recognition and FM radio, Qingmi Car Charger is still the best choice if one is in search of a car charger offering a premium metal built and fast charging under $10.

Price & Availability

As Xiaomi Qingmi Car Charger (grey or black colors) has just released, it’s only available in China right now for a price of 59 yuan ($8.5). However, we expect the global Chinese stores to sell it for a price range around $10. It’s not available for global purchase, but we will update this review with the buying link whenever a Global Chinese store is offering it. So, stay tuned!
