Barely three days after live photos of Realme‘s 240W charging brick was spotted online, the company has finally officially unveiled the 240W fast charging. The charging solution is claimed to be the fastest charging solution for a smartphone that has entered mass production. Also, the 240W rating is the highest charging power that the USB-C interface supports.
The new charging solution uses a three-way
100W charge pump parallel design with an output rating of 10V 24A and 20V 12A
input. The company also hinted that the charger has a charging conversion
efficiency of up to 98.5%. The charging solution utilizes a 240W dual Gallium
Nitride (GaN) adapter which gives it a peak power density of 2.34W / CC, the
highest in the industry. Despite the increased rating, the charger is only 5%
larger in size than the previous-gen 150W charging adapter. The adapter uses a
single USB-C output port.
The adapter will ship with its own
customized 12A charging cable manufactured using 21AWG thickened copper wires
which is also the highest rating in the industry. This new standard bumps up
the carrying capacity of the cable by 20% compared to the previous generation.
The Realme 240W SuperVOOC protocol is
backward compatible with the 65W PD, QC, and VOOC protocols. The Realme GT
Neo5, the first device to use the 240W fast charging technology is confirmed to
be launched in February. The smartphone has 13 built-in temperature sensors,
supports PS3 fireproof design and real-time safety monitoring system, and has
the industry’s largest 6580mm2 graphene phase heat dissipation material.
Furthermore, the effective health of the
battery is over 80% after 1,600, 0-100% full charging cycles with Realme 240W
fast charging, according to the company. After 21 days of charging and
discharging, there is no safety failure with the phone at 85°C high temperature
and 85% high humidity, according to Realme.
