Smartphone charging technologies continue evolving and brands keep on pushing the envelope further. Realme recently introduced its groundbreaking 240W charging technology with the latest GT 3 smartphone. Taking things to a new level, Infinix has today unveiled its new 260W wired and 110W wireless charging tech. The company has also confirmed that the new charging solution will debut with an upcoming Infinix Note smartphone this year. Here are the details.

According to the company, the 260W wired charging solution can fill a battery from 0 to 25% in only one minute and can reach 100% in just 8 minutes. The new technology involves a single 12C battery with a 4-pump circuit design that can identify power requirements and allocate the number of charge pumps accordingly. The charging efficiency is said to be 98.5% and a 4,400 mAh battery used in the test was able to retain 90% of its initial capacity after 1,000 cycles.

The charging technology employs an adaptor that utilizes both GaN material and AHB circuit infrastructure to achieve high power density and small size. The cable is also custom-made to carry a current of up to 13A to ensure blazing-fast 260W charging.

The 110W wireless charging solution developed by Infinix is also quite impressive as we normally don’t see wireless charging going above 50W. The technology utilized in this charging solution involves custom-made, small, sensitive coils with varying architectures. There are fewer but wider coils in the same space, resulting in lower internal resistance. This, in turn, reduces the amount of heat generated by the phone when charging.

In addition to wired and wireless charging, the new standard also supports reverse charging, bypass charging, and multi-protocol charging. It is compatible with other protocols, including Power Delivery 3.0.

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.
