Realme GT Neo 5 rumored to come with 240W wired charging

06 December 2022
Under ten-minute full charges might become a thing sooner than you think.

Why these OEMs and people are so obsessed with charging speeds. A 33w charger is enough for charging smartphones when at home or office and a 67w charger is more than enough for charging,that too in emergency situations.

    Vikass17, 06 Dec 20221600 charge cycle? That is like fast charger is improving ... moreMaybe they talking about combined lifespan of both the battery cells in the battery and each full charge cycle counts as 2 so overall lifespan is same as other phones because no way they can just double the 800 figure with software tricks

      bbk always way ahead in charging system.

        charging speed race doesn't stop, soon Xiaomi or Infinix will announce 260W and 300W

          1600 charge cycle?
          That is like fast charger is improving charge cycle.
          Isn't that 800 cycles normally.
          And Xiaomi 210w is taking 9minutes too . What is the use of extra 30w?

Their claims that the battery will last this or that many cycles or whatever are based on their unrealistic "lab" tested environments

                  Sounds good to me.

                    In China, the number 4 is considered unlucky, since it sounds very similar to the word for death. So it's not used very often there (among phones, this mainly applies to BBK; Huawei and Xiaomi don't seem to care).

                      From GT Neo 3 to GT Neo 5? No GT Neo 4?

                        Longer-lasting batteries are more important than useless supercharging, which can only be charged at full speed with a dedicated charger

                          My recommendation of charging speed is 67 watts or 80 watts. I don't like use everyday more than 100watts charger. Much better using a more than 100watts charger for emergency only.

                            Next step: Plutonium instant ultra-charge in 7 seconds (advertised)

                            Joke aside, I'm satisfied with 45W and 67W fast charge and I think they are pretty fast already. I wish that phones battery had more durable and efficient charge cycles through the years.

                              240W is not enough for 2023. At least 512W for 2023. It is a big NO for me.

                                    Good God, this thing is going to explode, I think that a charge of 67w is more than enough

                                      Everything over 80w is overkill. Just another Realme phone, that is gonna be replaced in 3 months.
