news hardware Charge 50% battery in 5 minutes: This will soon be possible with smartphones
Fast charging is a crucial issue for smartphone manufacturers and they all compete for energy so that the user never runs out of battery. The Chinese brand realme uses the MWC 2022 to introduce its first 150W charger that restores 50% of the battery in just 5 minutes. A record.
In recent years, manufacturers of Android smartphones have offered faster and faster charging. In fact, it’s no longer rare to find yourself charging your device with a 65W block capable of fully restarting a smartphone in an hour. But realme has decided to go much further and is the first to use 150-watt charging for a commercial product.
Realme introduces UltraDart super fast loading
The Chinese brand is not the first to present this ultra-high figure, since last year Xiaomi had made a demo of 200 watts, with a battery capable of charging a smartphone in 8 minutes, but without concretizing it on an existing smartphone. Realme announces that its next smartphone, the GT Neo 3, will be the first to benefit from 150W charging.
The manufacturer has worked for several years on this ultra-fast charge, which it calls “UltraDart”, in order to ensure several important points. With a load of 150 watts, you have to fear a limited battery life. Realme ensures that this will not be the case with its UltraDart technology: in addition to charging up to 50% in just 5 minutes, the company has ensured that the temperature remains below 43 ° C during the charging process to avoid long-term stress to limit . Realme ran long tests and achieved a capacity loss of only 20% after 1000 full charge cycles. If you imagine charging your smartphone once a day, you will be silent for almost 3 years before your battery starts showing signs of weakness.
The smartphone used for the demo is a prototype.
Never run out of battery again?
In short, if the promises are kept, Realme’s 150-watt charging promises to change many things. A demo of a ‘prototype’ smartphone and a relatively chunky charger by smartphone standards was presented at the manufacturer’s booth at Mobile World Congress. However, the brand does not specify how long it takes to complete a full charge cycle (start and end of charge are generally longer). Anyway, with this kind of technology, battery leakage should become less and less common.
