Realme is gearing up to introduce its latest wired charging technology on August 14th at an event in China. At this event, the company will showcase its 300W fast charging tech, which has been the subject of rumors for some time.
Charging Speed Demonstration
Ahead of the official announcement, a video has surfaced online demonstrating the technology in action. In the clip, the phone charges from 0% to 15% in just 32 seconds. The charge level then jumps to 17% within the next 3 seconds. Although the video stops without revealing the battery capacity of the phone used, this brief demonstration highlights the potential of the upcoming charging technology.
Comparison with Competitors
It's worth noting that Realme isn't the first brand to achieve such rapid charging speeds. The honor goes to Redmi, Xiaomi's sub-brand, which demoed a 300W solution last year. Their technology charged a Redmi Note 12 with a 4100mAh battery from 0% to 100% in just 5 minutes. However, this technology has yet to be implemented in any consumer-level device.
The hope is that Realme will be the first to bring 300W charging to commercially available smartphones. In fact, Realme might be better positioned to achieve this milestone. Their current lineup includes phones with 240W charging support, making the leap to 300W more manageable. In contrast, Redmi's flagship models currently top out at 120W.
Future Prospects
Some may question the necessity of such rapid charging speeds, but having experienced Realme's 240W fast charging on the GT Neo 5, the convenience of quickly powered-up devices is undeniable. Additionally, leaks suggest that Realme may unveil a charging solution even faster than 300W to outpace Redmi and claim the title of the world's fastest charging technology. With the official reveal just days away, more details will soon be available.
