Realme is set to unveil its latest innovation in wired charging on August 14th at an event in China. There the company will demo its 300W fast charging tech, rumors of which we’ve been hearing about for some time now.
Although the official reveal is still a few days away, a video has already surfaced online showing the charging tech in action.
In the video, we can see the phone going from 0% to 15% in just 32 seconds. The fuel level increases by 3% in the next 3 seconds to reach 17%. The video ends there without revealing the battery capacity of the phone used in the testing. But this small demo is enough for us to show the upcoming charging tech potential.
Realme, however, isn’t the first brand to achieve such ridiculously fast charging speed. That title goes to Redmi, Xiaomi’s sub-brand, which demoed their 300W solution last year. It charged a Redmi Note 12 with a 4100mAh battery from 0% to 100% in mere 5 minutes.
However, that tech didn’t make it to any consumer-level device yet.
The hope, of course, is that Realme will be the first to bring 300W charging to commercially available smartphones.
Compared to Redmi, Realme may even be better positioned to do so. Their existing lineup has phones with 240W charging support, making the jump to 300W a smaller leap. In contrast, Redmi’s current flagship tops out at 120W.
While some might question the need for such rapid charging, I’ve personally experienced Realme’s 240W fast charging on the GT Neo 5, and the convenience of having the phone charged in minutes was undeniable.
Additionally, the leak suggests that Realme might even unveil a charging solution faster than 300W to outpace Redmi and secure the title of the world’s fastest charging technology. As the official reveal is just a few days away, we’ll soon have all the details.
