Realme 320W SuperSonic Charging
In a after On Chinese social media platform Weibo, Realme advertised its upcoming proprietary charging technology dubbed “SuperSonic”. The teaser video highlights its 320W capabilities by fast-charging an unspecified smartphone, calling it “ultra-fast” charging.
Previous reports suggested that the upcoming charging solution can charge a handset’s battery from zero to 50 percent in under three minutes, and from zero to 100 percent in just five minutes. In another instance, a teaser shared by Chase Xu reveals that the battery can be charged to 20 percent in 41 seconds.
In February 2023, Redmi previewed a 300W charging technology, which could charge the 4,100mAh battery of a customized Redmi Note 12 Discovery Edition handset in under five minutes. However, this technology was not made public. The development of “SuperSonic” charging was first confirmed in June this year by Francis Wong, Global Marketing Director and CEO of Realme Europe in an interview with YouTube channel The Tech Chap.
Realme says it will also showcase four patented innovations that have helped shape its latest fast charging technology: charging power, battery technology, converter size, and power reduction design. The company has introduced several fast charging innovations in the past, including a 240W charging speed that was publicly rolled out in China with the Realme GT Neo 5.
“SuperSonic” charging is expected to debut alongside the Realme GT 7 Pro, one of the world’s first devices to be powered by Qualcomm’s upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset.
