Realme’s 320W SuperSonic technology can fully charge your phone in 5 minutes
Realme unveiled its latest innovation in proprietary fast charging technology at the annual 828 Fan Fest in China on Wednesday. The technology, dubbed 320W SuperSonic Charge, is said to be able to charge a smartphone in about four and a half minutes. During the annual event, Realme also unveiled a new type of foldable battery for smartphones and confirmed the launch of its upcoming smartphone, the Realme 13 series.
Realme 320W SuperSonic Charger
Chase Xu, Vice President of Realme, took the stage to showcase the 320W SuperSonic Charge technology. It is claimed to be able to charge a smartphone from zero to 100 percent in four minutes and 30 seconds. A minute of charging is said to pump the battery up to 26 percent of its total capacity, while a 50 percent charge can be achieved with two minutes of charging.
Realme called it a “4-minute miracle” and claimed that charging a smartphone can take as long as making a cup of coffee or playing a single song. At the event, which was attended by media personnel, industry professionals and enthusiasts, Realme introduced several technologies that have helped it develop a high-quality yet safe charging method. It is said to support several common charging protocols such as UFCS (up to 320W), PD and SuperVOOC.
According to Realme, the device can charge simultaneously via dual USB Type-C outputs, with support for up to 150W charging for Realme smartphones and 65W for compatible laptops.
The first product is a foldable battery for smartphones with a nominal capacity of 4,420mAh. According to the company, it is a quad-cell battery that contains four individual cells with simultaneous charging capabilities. Realme says that each cell is less than 3mm thick and that the new battery delivers an additional 10 percent charge compared to traditional battery designs. Since the battery can be folded, it could potentially be used in foldable smartphones, which typically have average battery life.
Because foldable devices have multiple screens, their batteries drain faster than non-foldable smartphones.
Realme also debuted an AirGap Voltage Transformer that claims to protect the smartphone’s battery in the event of electrical disturbances such as circuit failure. It features contactless electromagnetic conversion, which allows the transformer to limit the voltage to 20V. With this, Realme claims to have achieved a thermal efficiency of 98 percent for its 320W SuperSonic Charge technology.
New smartphone technologies
In addition to the patented 320W SuperSonic Charge, Realme also introduced six new smartphone technologies across three key areas: AI, Performance, and Imaging. One of the most notable introductions is a solid-state button with slide functionality. According to the company, users can use the tactile controls to perform quick actions such as instantly zooming and taking photos. A new anti-glare display was also showcased, which claims to minimize reflections by up to 80 percent.
Realme’s AI Motion Picture technology is powered by NEXT AI, the company’s suite of artificial intelligence (AI) features. It can convert an image into a dynamic 25-frame video.
It also made several announcements regarding gaming. The AI Gaming Super Resolution feature uses AI to deliver better visuals while maintaining the chipset’s workload. Furthermore, haptics can be improved and customized for over 100 in-game actions by using 4D Game Vibration. Realme’s Holo Audio feature can adjust sound positioning depending on the user’s preference.
