Realme has officially announced the launch of its latest smartphone, the Realme GT3, at MWC Barcelona. The phone boasts an impressive 240W SuperVOOC charging capability that can fully charge its 4,600mAh battery in a mere nine and a half minutes. This feature makes one wonder if there is such a thing as too fast when it comes to charging a phone.
Realme claims that the GT3’s 240W fast charging is the fastest possible for Type-C, outpacing the 210W-capable Redmi Note 12 Discovery Edition and the 150W charging in OnePlus devices like the 10T. However, Xiaomi’s Redmi sub-brand is working on a new 300W fast-charging technology that may surpass Realme’s.
While 240W is an impressive number, the GT3’s charging speeds are not significantly faster than those of previous fast-charging phones. For instance, the Redmi Note 12 Discovery Edition could already charge its smaller 4,300mAh battery to 100% in about nine minutes using 210W fast charging. Additionally, the OnePlus 10T’s 150W fast charging could fully charge its 4,800mAh battery in under 20 minutes. Nevertheless, Realme claims that the GT3 can achieve a full charge in just nine and a half minutes.
The Realme GT3 is rebranded version of the GT Neo 5
