It may become the fastest on the market
Realme has confirmed that it is working on 300W fast charging technology — it could be the fastest on the market. In a recent interview, Francis Wong, head of marketing at Realme Global, said that the company is currently testing 300-watt charging.
Realme has been releasing smartphones with the fastest chargers at the time of release for several years. For example, in 2021, the Realme GT Master Edition model was released with 65 W charging, which allowed a 4300 mAh battery to be fully charged in 33 minutes. In 2022, Realme GT Neo 3 arrived with 150W charging, capable of fully charging a 4500mAh battery to 50% in just 5 minutes. And finally, the 2023 flagship Realme GT Neo 5 supports 240W charging, which fully charges it in less than 10 minutes.
Previously, the Redmi brand demonstrated charging technology for smartphones with a power of 300 W. With its help, the phone was charged 50% in less than three minutes, and completely — in just five minutes. The demonstration took place last year, but since then nothing has been reported about the serial production of such devices. Oppo also announced plans to release a 300-watt charger capable of fully charging a smartphone in 5 minutes, but such models also did not reach the market.
There are practically no details about Realme's 300-watt solution yet. In his interview, Wong did not share information about when this technology will be implemented in commercial smartphones.
