vivo introduced a 120W fast-charging solution earlier this year and actually followed through with an announcement of a smartphone with the technology. The vivo iQOO 5 Pro 5G is currently one of only two handsets in the world with such fast charging (the other being Xiaomi's Mi 10 Ultra) and it looks like a successor is already in the pipelines.
A device codenamed V2049A, likely to be
part of the iQOO 7 series, was spotted on 3C with a 120W charger. While we have
no official confirmation this is an iQOO phone, this line-up is de-facto vivo’s
flagship family since the X phones are positioned in the upper midrange part of
the spectrum, while the NEX is more of a concept-made-reality type of series.
Of course, we would love to see the 120W
fast-charging in a non-flagship phone, but that seems rather unlikely at this
point. The more important matter is whether we’ll see this phone outside China
or just like the iQOO 5 Pro it will remain for domestic use only.
