The new method, called Super FlashCharge 120W, uses Vivo’s custom USB-C cable and travel charger. The company tested this method with a 4,000 mAh battery in the lab and was able to charge from 0 to 50 percent in just five minutes – and subsequently 100 percent in another eight minutes.
A post shared by vivo (@vivo_global) on Jun 23, 2019 at 12:36am PDT This technology beats Xiaomi’s previous record of charging a phone with 4,000 mAh battery with a 100W charger in 17 minutes. While Xiaomi announced that its battery tech will soon go into mass production, there’s no word on when Vivo‘s technology will make it to phones we can buy. Nonetheless, it’s an exciting development, and we can’t wait to see this in action.
