Yet another company seems to be working on 300W charging for smartphones. The company in question is Realme, as the company’s Head of Marketing for Realme Global, Francis Wong, confirmed.
Yet another company is working on 300W charging for Smartphones, Realme
This was confirmed during TheTechChap’s interview with Francis Wong. He confirmed that the company is testing 300W charging already. That is not surprising, as Realme is usually at the very front when it comes to charging tech.
By presenting 300W charging tech, Realme will join the likes of Xiaomi‘s Redmi, who already demoed its 300W charging. Redmi’s 300W charging managed to fully charge a phone in under five minutes.
Having said that, Realme already offers 240W charging, which is immensely fast on its own. The Realme GT Neo 5 supports 240W charging, and it can charge fully in under 10 minutes. Needless to say, that’s truly impressive.
Realme doesn’t seem to think that’s enough, though, although many would disagree. The company wants to push the ante even further up. We’re expecting to see similar results to what Redmi demoed.
Redmi did demo 300W charging already, but it still doesn’t offer a phone that supports it
Do note that Redmi still doesn’t have a phone that charges at 300W, though. It did not release it. So, there’s still time for Realme to do it first. It remains to be seen what will happen.
What is unfortunate is that Francis Wong didn’t go into specifics during the interview. It would be great to know a bit more about heating during such charging, the company’s plan to prevent that, and also to safeguard battery life in the long term.
Chances are Realme will demo its 300W charging tech in the near future, though. There’s a reason Francis Wong mentioned it during this interview. It could debut inside the Realme GT Neo 6. The Realme GT Neo 5 arrived back in February, so we’re still over half a year away from its successor if Realme ends up sticking to its release cycle.
