The Potential Risks of Buying Second-Hand Phones

Recent lab reports show a growing rise in smartphone damage caused by counterfeit USB-C cables, which fail basic safety tests, overheat under fast charging, and quietly shorten battery lifespan.

Mini power banks deliver strong charging performance because their boost converters turn a 3.7V internal cell into stable 5V–12V output. Efficiency, heat control, and protocol chips determine real-world quality.

A new EU consumer report shows that 40% of power banks do not meet their claimed capacity, with many delivering only 55%–80% of the advertised mAh. Regulators warn this signals poor-quality cells and potential safety risks.

Realme has unveiled an AI-powered Smart Charging System that can extend smartphone battery health by up to 25%. The algorithm adjusts voltage and current in real time, reducing heat and chemical stress during PD and PPS fast charging. Tested on the Realme GT7 Pro, it improves battery cycle life from around 800 to 1,000 full charges. This launch marks Realme’s move toward sustainable fast charging and aligns with the global push for longer-lasting smartphone batteries.

Xiaomi has officially started mass production of its BN58 smartphone battery series, designed for flagship Mi and Redmi models. Using a stacked-layer lithium polymer design with silicon-carbon anode materials, the BN58 achieves 5300mAh capacity, 12% better energy retention, and 18% higher thermal stability than the BN54. Optimized for 120W PD fast charging, it represents Xiaomi’s push toward safer, denser, and more efficient smartphone battery production.
