Realme Unveils Groundbreaking 320W Fast-Charging Battery
Realme introduces a ground-breaking 320W fast-charging system that can charge a 4,400 mAh battery from 0 to 100% in under four and a half minutes. The unique "SuperSonic" charge technique relies on Oppo's well-known "SuperVOOC" solution, prioritising current over voltage for exceptional charging speeds. The Realme's quad-cell ultra-thin battery design allows for individual cell charging, increasing speed while reducing heat dissipation.
Among the novelties displayed was a breakthrough "solid state button" on the phone's side that allows for easy swipes and presses for a variety of tasks. The highlight of the event, however, was the introduction of a spectacular 320W fast-charging system capable of fully charging a 4,400 mAh battery in less than four and a half minutes. The live demonstration of this lightning-fast charging astounded attendees, as the phone reached 40% charge in just 90 seconds.
This extraordinary performance in rapid charging is not new for Realme, which was previously a sub-brand of Oppo and has been a pioneer in fast-charging technology for nearly a decade. Realme's latest innovation, the "SuperSonic" charge, builds on the concepts of Oppo's well-known "SuperVOOC" fast-charging solution, prioritising current above voltage. To reach such unparalleled speeds, Realme created a revolutionary quad-cell ultra-thin battery that folds in half. By dividing the battery into four pieces, each cell can charge individually, which speeds up the charging process while effectively managing heat dissipation.
To address safety issues, Realme invented the unique "AirGap" voltage transformer, which physically isolates the voltage from the battery by electromagnetic conversion. While Realme claims their technology is safe, only time will tell whether such extreme fast-charging capabilities are reliable. Despite any doubts, Realme's track record as a prominent participant in the smartphone business, alongside parent firm Oppo and sister brand OnePlus, gives faith in the viability of their innovations. With millions of devices currently using SuperVOOC fast charging without incident, the potential of SuperSonic fast charging approaching the market looks bright.
Although SuperSonic fast-charging technology is not yet ready for mass production, the quick pace of innovation among Chinese phone makers suggests that it could be integrated into Realme or Oppo handsets in the near future. As the industry excitedly awaits the commercial release of this game-changing technology, consumers can look forward to a new era of ultra-fast charging capabilities.
