11 June 2021
Depending on your usage that could be several years of charging, however.

I believe their claims of battery degradation until proven false. Xiaomi has a good reputation so far. I'd believe what Xiaomi says more than Apple or Samsung.

                    Its not only about number of cycles, but stage of battery when start charging, do you charge it fully or from 1-10% to top or from 40-60% do you keep your charger plugged in whole night, do you often do quick charges(phone is plugged for less than 5min) etc etc.
                    But overall it was proven many times that quick charging destroy battery quicker than normal one and its not only about heat, but also material degradation due to higher energy input and just normal limitations of li-ion/poli batteries that just lose quality every time you charge them.

                            lord5, 11 Jun 2021800 cycles are equal in 2 yearsBut if they use their $2000 flagship like a sub-$500 midranger, they can extend the battery longer and flex over removable battery fans how their 5 year old sealed battery they never replaced still has whole-day charge. :)

                                      Charge and discharge power is always inversely proportional to battery lifetime. There's no way the quick 200W charger will result in the same lifetime as that of a lower wattage charger.
