Oppo’s SuperVOOC is currently the fastest wired
charger with its 50W speeds at 10V/5A, however, Xiaomi is looking to up the
ante on charging speeds with its new Super Charge Turbo. The company will
announce its new charging technology at an official event tomorrow but we got a
glimpse of its capabilities early. In a Weibo post by the brand’s president Lin
Bin, we got our first look at the 100W charger running at 20V/5A against Oppo’s
50W solution.
After just 17 minutes, Xiaomi’s charger manages to
reach 100% while Oppo’s charger is still at 65%. These speeds are remarkable,
given the fact that Xiaomi’s Super Charge Turbo is giving power to a 4,000 mAh
battery while SuperVOOC works with a smaller 3,700mAh cell. For comparison,
Huawei’s upcoming 55W Super Charge for the Mate X will need 35 minutes to fully
charge the device.
Xiaomi’s current devices support up to 27W wired
chargers but even Mi 9 flagship only packs an 18W charger in the box. We are
yet to learn when we can expect the Super Charge Turbo in actual commercial
products, but maybe that will happen tomorrow.
