Motorola executive teases 125W charger
Motorola’s latest flagships are the Edge 30 Pro and Edge 30 Ultra, which come with speedy 68W fast charging. The company is apparently thinking this is not enough and has developed an even faster charger - 125W.
The adapter was revealed by Chen Jin, General Manager of Lenovo Mobile Phone Business Department in China, on his personal Weibo page. He also said the brick weighs just 130 grams, which is a lot lower than any other charger with the same speeds on the market.
The race for delivering 125W chargers and above is heating up, and we have at least five makers with an adapter that can reach those or higher speeds. A quick comparison reveals that Xiaomi’s brick is 195 grams, vivo’s adapter is 210 grams, and all the other we have laying around in the office are around the same weight.
The 130g body of Motorola is truly impressive, but should not surprise anyone - the company is capable of building tight charging packages. Its current 68W adapter is under 100 grams.
The bigger question behind this teaser is what phone is this 125W charger designed for. Rumors are the brand is preparing a device code-named Frontier with a 194MP camera, which seems suited to pushing the charging boundaries as well.

Surely you are one of those who applauds that the charger is not included and then have to buy it separately
