Realme is anticipated to introduce its newest exclusive advancement in charging technology at its yearly 828 Fan Fest held in Shenzhen, China on August 14. Prior to the official reveal, the company has now teased its capabilities in a video posted on a social media platform. Realme’s Vice President Chase Xu has also hinted at it. This follows a purported leaked video that displayed an unidentified Realme smartphone charging from 0 to 17 percent in only 35 seconds.
Realme 320W SuperSonic Charging
In a post on the Chinese social media platform Weibo, Realme promoted its upcoming proprietary charging technology named “SuperSonic”. The teaser video showcases its 320W capabilities by rapidly charging an unspecified smartphone while describing it as “ultra-fast” charging.
Prior reports have indicated that the upcoming charging solution could charge a handset battery from zero to 50 percent in less than three minutes and from zero to 100 percent in as little as five minutes. Another teaser shared by Chase Xu demonstrates that it can charge the battery up to 20 percent in 41 seconds.
In February 2023, Redmi gave a sneak peek of a 300W charging technology, charging the 4,100mAh battery of a modified Redmi Note 12 Discovery Edition handset in under five minutes. However, this technology was not publicly released. The development of “SuperSonic” charging was initially confirmed in June this year by Francis Wong, Global Marketing Director and CEO of Realme Europe in an interview with YouTube channel The Tech Chap.
Realme indicates that it will also present four exclusive advancements that have contributed to the creation of its latest rapid charging technology: charging power, battery technology, converter size, and power reduction design. Previously, the company has introduced various fast charging innovations, including 240W charging speed which was publicly launched in China with the Realme GT Neo 5.
“SuperSonic” charging is projected to make its debut alongside the Realme GT 7 Pro – one of the initial handsets globally to be powered by Qualcomm’s forthcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset.
