Rumors about Realme developing 300W wired charging are now confirmed. The company will unveil this groundbreaking technology on August 14th.
Realme 300W Charging Will be A Major Leap Forward
This latest development marks another leap forward for Realme in charging technology. The upcoming 300W charging tech surpasses the company’s previous 240W offering introduced in February 2023. But it’s uncertain if this groundbreaking technology will be available in a commercial smartphone right away.
Xiaomi’s Redmi division also showcased a similar 300W charging technology. It promised a full charge in under five minutes. However, unlike Realme, the technology has yet to make its way to a commercial device.
Realme currently holds the record for the fastest charging commercial smartphone. The Realme GT Neo 5 (GT3 in some markets) boasts an impressive 240W charging speed. Different tests showed the phone charging from 1%to 100% in just 11 minutes and 16 seconds. That nearly matches the company’s claimed 10-minute charging time. As for the Realm 300W charging, it should recharge phones from 0% to 100% in under 10 minutes.
The announcement of Realme’s 300W charging technology is perfectly timed. The company will reveal this groundbreaking innovation at its annual 828 Fan Festival on August 14th. This date holds special significance for Realme as it marks the anniversary of the brand’s independence in 2018.
While This Super-Fast Charging Tech Sounds Exciting, There Are Some Concerns
While the prospect of charging a smartphone in minutes is thrilling, it’s important to acknowledge the potential drawbacks. Rapid charging can generate significant heat. This eventually impacts battery health over time. Hopefully, Realme will consider this and implement an advanced battery monitoring feature for its 300W fast charging tech.
Another thing to note is that this tech could also increase the price of the phone featuring it. But the Realme GT Neo 5 was affordable, and we expect the same for the upcoming device that features the 300W tech.
