Meizu will be officially launching the Meizu 17 series of flagship smartphones with 5G connectivity on May 8. Ahead of it, the brand has revealed most of the specifications of these forthcoming devices. It has been also teasing the announcement of several accessories like Super mCharge power bank. Today, the company has also revealed to release a new GaN charger.

Chinese smartphone maker Meizu has already confirmed its Meizu 17 series to come with GaN (Gallium Nitride) charger. The in-box charger will operate at a maximum rate of 30W, which the phone will support to fill its 4,500 mAh battery.

Besides that, the company will be also launching a separate GaN charger for multi-purpose. According to the teaser poster, this charger will have three ports and a foldable plug. Also, although the Weibo post does not say anything about the capacity of the upcoming accessory, it is expected to operate at a higher capacity than what the brand’s upcoming flagship series will support.

Gallium Nitride chargers are not new as they are becoming quite popular since last year. OEMs like Oppo, Realme, and Nubia are now providing GaN charger in-box with their products like Oppo Reno Ace, Realme X50 Pro 5G, and Nubia Red Magic 5G. 

Additionally, companies like Huawei and Xiaomi are also selling their standalone Nitride chargers.

Huawei will be hosting the Spring 2020 Launch event tonight in China to unveil Huawei P40 series in its home country. According to supply chain insiders, the company will also launch a 65W Gallium Nitride multi-device charger at the same event, which will begin in a few hours from now.

For years, we have been using silicon chargers to fuel up our electronic devices. But that will change soon as Gallium Nitride (GaN) chargers, simply known as Nitride chargers are expected to take over the world soon.

We already have a number of nitride chargers in the market from the likes of Xiaomi, Anker, RAVPower, Aukey, and more. Now, Huawei will be also joining the list with its upcoming 65W Gallium Nitride Charger. This charger will have both USB Type-A and Type-C to charge smartphones, tablets, and even laptops.

Smartphone manufacturers have been already shipping some of its phones with Gallium Nitride Chargers. Oppo Reno Ace, Realme X50 Pro 5G, and Nubia Red Magic 5G are the phones that come bundled with GaN chargers. Additionally, all of them charge at the rate of 65W similar to the Xiaomi charger and the forthcoming Huawei charger.

Gallium Nitride (GaN) is a better alternative to silicon in chargers because it can withstand more power and temperature. Also, these chargers are relatively smaller than the regular high capacity silicon chargers. This makes them better in portability and can also be used to charge multiple devices with its high power capacity.
