Realme today unveiled the 320W charging technology that it has been promoting for the past few days. It is called 320W SuperSonic Charge and is the world's fastest smartphone charging technology.
Realme said that this 320W SuperSonic Charge technology fully charges a smartphone's battery in 4 minutes and 30 seconds. It fills the cell up to 26% in a minute and takes less than two minutes to charge it to over 50%.
Realme’s 320W charging tech is slightly faster than Redmi’s 300W tech, which fully charged a 4,000mAh battery in 4 minutes and 55 seconds. However, Realme didn’t reveal the cell size it tested its 320W tech with, so we’ll have to wait and see which one is actually faster.
What Realme revealed is that the 320W power adapter is called “Pocket Cannon” and it has a power density of 3.3W/cm3 while being similar in size to Realme's 240W charger.
Realme also said that the Power Cannon supports popular charging protocols including UFCS (up to 320W), PD, and SuperVOOC. It also has two USB-C ports for simultaneous charging – 150W for Realme smartphones and 65W for compatible laptops.
Additionally, Realme introduced the “AirGap” voltage transformer at today’s event. It features contactless electromagnetic conversion for smartphones to ensure high voltage remains isolated from the battery in the event of circuit failures, for a risk-free charging experience.
Realme claims that this transformer is smaller than the tip of a finger and reduces the voltage to 20V to protect the battery. It helps maintain “exceptional conversion efficiency and thermal management,” allowing the 320W SuperSonic Charge to achieve an energy efficiency of around 98%.
In addition to the 320W SuperSonic Charge, Realme has unveiled a 4,420mAh foldable battery. It features four cells, each less than 3mm thick, and offers a 10% increase in capacity over traditional designs. Does this mean Realme is gearing up to launch a foldable device? We hope so, we’ll find out soon.
Realme's event wasn't just about batteries and charging. The brand also showcased a solid-state button and an anti-glare display for smartphones.
The solid-state button features sliding functionality for smooth operation and offers intuitive touch controls for instant zoom and quick clicks, giving the feel of a dedicated camera on the phone.
The anti-glare display, meanwhile, is inspired by the structure of a butterfly's eye and minimizes reflections by up to 80%, providing a paper-like texture for comfortable viewing in bright sunlight. It also provides clear visibility at lower brightness levels and reduces power consumption.
Realme also talked about AI Motion Picture and AI Gaming Super Resolution technology. AI Motion Picture is powered by NEXT AI and transforms a single frame into a dynamic 25-frame video, while AI Gaming Super Resolution uses the device’s AI to deliver smooth and clear visuals. Realme Holo Audio also offers an immersive gaming experience by letting you adjust the sound positioning to ensure incoming call alerts don’t disrupt your focus on the game.
