The fast-charging race is further amping up with another company teasing an even quicker solution. Teasing being the key word here, as the technology is not yet available on any device.
Last year we saw OnePlus reaching 30W, Huawei did 40W on their flagships and the Oppo Find X was the first phone with the stupid fast 50W SuperVOOC Flash Charge. Xiaomi also teased a Turbo technology that can charge a dead phone from 0% to 100% in 17 minutes earlier in March 2019.
Vivo today gave us a glimpse of its new 120W Super FlashCharge, which is claimed to be able to fully charge a 4,000mAh battery—that is, from 0% to 100%—in just 13 minutes. You read that right – 4,000mAh, 0 to 100, in 13 minutes.
A teaser for Vivo’s Super FlashCharge was posted earlier today on Chinese blogging site Weibo, showcasing a phone being charged from 10% to 14% in about 16 seconds.
This is very, very impressive, indeed, although it’s far from a full charge cycle.The 120W charging rate might sound interesting in theory, but we think it might need some extra time before coming to actual products.
Vivo is yet to reveal the technology behind its sophisticated 120W Super FlashCharge technology. The company did not confirm on when it will begin the mass production of the technology. Probably, the Chinese firm may debut a new flagship phone with 120W charging technology in the latter half of the year.
Approximately 8% in 1 minute.
Too too good.
Wow, now that is what they call a worthy challenge to other manufacturers.
We are waiting. Nous en avons besoin d’urgence
If at all this project succeed, it will take long before it will be added to smartphone. In all, this is pretty awesome. 13minutes to charge from 0%-100%. Pretty awesome.
Hmhmhm, hope we no go hear another Note 7 tori ?
Technology
Chaii life is good
Technology Defined. Keep It Up.
This is really cool as it is an advantage, but has anyone ever thought of the disadvantage of this fast charge??
50W is mad!
I hope some hone will not overheated or get blown out ?
