Realme will debut the latest innovation in fast charging technology next week
Realme will showcase its latest innovation in proprietary fast charging technology on August 14, the company announced on Thursday. The preview is scheduled to take place during Realme’s annual 828 Fan Fest in Shenzhen, China, from August 13 to 15. While no details were revealed, speculation is that the announcement could be related to 300W fast charging, the development of which was confirmed in June by Francis Wong, Global Marketing Director at Realme.
Realme Fast Charging Technology Announcement
According to Realme, it will also unveil four patented innovations that helped it develop its latest fast charging technology: charging power, battery technology, converter size, and power reduction design. The announcement will take place at Realme’s headquarters, alongside other showcases of technologies still under development at the company across artificial intelligence (AI), performance, and imaging – all aimed at improving the smartphone experience.
This development builds on Wong’s earlier confirmation of the in-development 300W fast charging technology. The smartphone’s battery is rumored to be able to charge up to 50 percent in under three minutes and from zero to 100 percent in just five minutes. The company already offers 240W fast charging in its China-exclusive Realme GT Neo 5, which is said to be able to charge its 4,600mAh battery from zero to 50 percent in four minutes and from zero to 100 percent in under 10 minutes.
Notably, Xiaomi’s sub-brand Redmi had already showcased a similar 300W charging tech in February, which could juice up the 4,100mAh battery of a customized Redmi Note 12 Discovery Edition handset in under five minutes. The tech, which has been dubbed the “300W Immortal Second Charger,” has yet to see implementation in mass-market smartphones.
Apart from announcing the latest innovation in proprietary fast charging technology, Realme is also speculated to introduce its latest smartphone — the Realme GT 7 Pro. It is already confirmed to launch in India in the second half of 2024 and could be one of the first handsets in the world to be powered by Qualcomm’s upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset.
