Realme recently launched the GT 3 globally with fast 240W charging. It is currently the fastest charging smartphone in the market. However, that will likely not be the case for long as Infinix is reportedly planning to raise the bar higher with a new 260W charging smartphone. The handset will launch by the end of this year, however, the charging solution may get introduced as early as next week. Here are the details.

GSMArena has managed to get hold of an image that shows an upcoming Infinix 260W Thunder Charge charger. Notably, the adaptor is placed next to an Infinix smartphone that looks very similar to the Zero Ultra, which itself debuted with 180W charging tech. The charging system is said to feature a four-way 100W charge pump as well as an AHB (Advanced High-Performance Bus) circuit design with safe charging control.

Sources tell the publication that Infinix plans to announce the blazing-fast 260W charging solution on March 9. But it’s not certain if the brand will launch the tech on a new phone or introduce it in a modified version of the Infinix Zero Ultra. While there’s no official confirmation yet, the report mentions that Infinix wants to launch a 260W charging phone by the end of this year.

Further, the Transsion-owned company is also reported to be testing a 100W wireless charging solution, which will have a custom-coil design and improved charging efficiency. It will also feature reduced internal resistance and increased peak power charging time.

It will be interesting to see how fast 260W charging technology will be. The current fastest charging phone in the market— Realme GT 3— comes with 240W charging technology, which can fully charge the phone’s battery in nine and a half minutes.
