If you’ve been following Xiaomi for years, you know that “on paper” they could boast amazing charging speeds, but in practice the highest speeds often required Xiaomi’s own HyperCharge charger and cable. And this is precisely where the Xiaomi 17 series is set for an important change: according to information from industry press, Xiaomi has confirmed full compatibility with the universal USB Power Delivery standard with PPS at 100W. This means you don’t have to buy a “dedicated” Xiaomi brick - as long as you choose a decent USB-C charger with PD + PPS and the right cable. Below you’ll find a simple guide - what charger to use for the Xiaomi 17/17 Ultra and concrete models that make sense.
How to Choose a Charger for the Xiaomi 17 (and Why PD + PPS is Key)
Power (W)
If you want to charge as quickly as possible, aim for 100W. If fast charging is enough for you, but not the “max”, then 65W will also be OK, it will just be slower.
Charging standard
The safest and most compatible choice is a USB‑C charger with USB Power Delivery and PPS. Without PPS, some phones charge more slowly or can't reach the highest power levels, even if “PD” is available.
Cable (very important)
If you're aiming for 100W, you need a USB‑C 5A cable. Without it, even the best 100W charger may drop to lower power.
Ports
For just a phone, one USB‑C is enough. If you want one charger for your laptop, tablet, and accessories too, choose 3-4 ports and a higher power reserve.
The most important change: Xiaomi 17 to “open up” to universal 100W PPS
Key information is emerging in the English-language press: Xiaomi is set to confirm that the Xiaomi 17 series is fully compatible with 100W USB PD PPS, and fast charging will also work with chargers from other brands. This is exactly the moment people have been waiting for: less hassle, more compatibility, and one charger for many devices.
Practical takeaway!
You don't need to buy a dedicated Xiaomi charger, as long as you choose:
USB‑C 100W charger with PD + PPS
USB‑C cable 5A
In this case, “any brand” makes sense, but not every PD charger supports PPS, and not every PPS provides 100W, so you need to check the specification.

Do you need a dedicated Xiaomi charger?
You don’t have to, if your goal is fast and compatible charging via USB‑C PD + PPS. That’s exactly the point of the Xiaomi 17 series being “open”: if the press is correct, maximum speeds should also be achievable with chargers from other brands, as long as they have PPS and sufficient power.
When the Xiaomi charger still makes sense
When you want to use HyperCharge modes and you have more Xiaomi devices at home that prefer the company’s own sets.
When you buy a phone version where the charger is included in the box and you just want to use it.
FAQ
Is 45W-65W enough for Xiaomi 17/17 Ultra?
Yes, it will be fast, but if you're aiming for maximum speed, choose 100W.
What to look for in a charger’s specification to make sure it works with "Xiaomi 17"?
USB‑C, USB Power Delivery, PPS, and maximum power output of 100W, plus a USB‑C 5A cable.
Is 100W safe for the battery?
The phone and the charger negotiate parameters, so the device draws only as much as it needs, and fast charging is controlled by electronics and safety mechanisms.
Do Type‑A (USB‑A) chargers make sense in 2026?
They do, if you have older cables and the Xiaomi ecosystem, but as a “targeted” standard for years to come, it's better to go with USB‑C with PD + PPS.
