Smartphone charging continues to evolve, with new technologies and standards being developed all the time. We have already seen smartphones with up to 210W fast charging, and now Realme is gearing up to push the envelope further with a 240W charger. It is expected to arrive soon with the Realme GT Neo5. Ahead of an official announcement, the charger’s live images have surfaced online, revealing its design and a few details.
The images show the adapter with the model number VCKCJACH. It carries a SuperVOOC branding and shows 20V power at 12A current. The charger appears slightly larger and bulkier than standard chargers. This is usually the case with fast-charging chargers because they require larger power components.
Reports suggest the charger has a customized USB-C connector with lower impedance to further reduce the contact resistance, and it also uses thicker wire cores to enable high-current and high-power power transmission. Realme has apparently used an E-Marker encryption chip in the device, which can eliminate security risks.
Higher charging speeds can be associated with more heat, which could potentially damage the phone or its battery. However, Realme is said to have implemented five layers of security protection to counter these risks.
As mentioned, the new 240W charger will debut with the Realme GT Neo5 in Q1 2023. The GT Neo5 will also be launched in a less powerful 150W charging version. The smartphone could be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chipset. It is rumored to have a Sony IMX890 primary camera with OIS support.
In addition, the Realme smartphone could pack a 6.7-inch OLED display that offers a 1.5K resolution, a 144Hz refresh rate, a 2160Hz PWM dimming, and an under-display fingerprint scanner. It is expected to have a 4,600mAh battery.
