Previously, we saw leaked renders of the phone in question as well as a photo of the power brick that makes it happen (and that isn’t as big as you may imagine).

Now leakster Ice Universe adds some more details on the upcoming phone, which is tentatively named Infinix Zero X. Besides gulping down 160W through a wire, it will also be able to charge at 50W wirelessly.

The current landscape has many 100+ watt charging standards. Huawei has a 135W charger ready, Oppo has a 125W charger, as does Realme, Xiaomi has a 120W charger, as do Black Shark, Red Magic, vivo and iQOO.

More recently Xiaomi is working on 200W charging for later this year. As for standards not tied to a given company, the USB IF recently announced USB Power Delivery Extended Power Range, which increased the maximum power from 100W to 240W.
