With batteries around 5000 mAh and charging speeds between 20 and 60 W (we are talking about the standard), we can say that the problem of battery failure resolves itself rather quickly. But there are manufacturers who go further and want phones to charge practically in the blink of an eye. This is the case of Realme, which already left us speechless with the Realme GT Neo 3 at 150W but which already gave a twist with his new phone with 240W charging
65W wasn’t enough, neither was 100W, and the Realme GT Neo 3 debuted a few months ago as the fastest-charging phone title. And he also did this with a relatively small GaN charger with which he could go from 1 to 100% in 16 minutes and from 50% to complete in five minutes, in both cases according to the experience of our analysis.
The ultimate USB-C fast charge
But the Chinese firm once again stood out and announced on its Weibo profile a new record with the future Realme GT Neo 5
For now Realme didn’t reveal battery capacity or charging times of the GT Neo 5, but among the already surprising data obtained by the Realme GT Neo 3 and which OPPO assured a few months ago that with its 240 W charging technology it could fill a 4500 mAh battery in just nine minutes, let’s idea. In this sense, we expect similar results in the event that OPPO’s technology has actually been implemented.
There are more fundamental questions about charging technology and its use. Beyond the anecdotal of reaching 240W, it is interesting to know if it will limit itself to reaching this figure or if it will be able to maintain this power for an extended period. Also, curious to know how will it affect battery degradation. For reference, OPPO explained that with its 240W solution, a 20% degradation was to be expected after 800 charge cycles.
