- Vivo is said to be working on a 200W fast-charging flagship smartphone.
- The new Vivo charging adaptor supports 20V/10A charging.
- The charger is backwards compatible with 120W, 80W, and 66W charging speeds.
In the Chinese smartphone world, a 100W charger is a norm these days, and the baseline sits at 65W. A midrange of any Chinese smartphone manufacturer gives you a charger with a high charging speed ranging from 65W to 120W. While Samsung is working on a 65W charger without having a phone that supports 65W charging speed, Vivo is said to bring a 200W fast charging flagship smartphone. The closest charging speed in the market is a 150W charger from OnePlus, Realme, and Xiaomi.
This is not the first time we heard about a crazy 200W charging solution, as Xiaomi has showcased a 200W HyperCharge technology that charges the device up to 100 percent in just 8-minutes. Meanwhile, OPPO has taken a step even further and shown us a whopping 240W gear, exceeding the 200W mark. OPPO showcased the charger can fully charge a 4,500mAh battery phone in nine minutes and take it from 0 to 50 percent in three minutes and twenty-eight seconds.
Vivo flagship with 200W fast charging
The news of the Vivo 200W charger comes from the well-known tipster Digital Chat Station, who shared a post on Weibo stating that Vivo is working on a flagship smartphone that will support 200W fast charging technology, and comes with an adapter with 20V/10A support. Further, the charger is backwards compatible, which means—it will support 120W, 80W, and 65W charging rates. Lastly, the tipster hints that the Vivo flagship smartphone could pack a 4,000mAh battery.
While the name of the phone or configuration of the Vivo flagship phone and charger are still under the wraps, Xiaomi previously took the wraps off its Xiaomi 200W HyperCharge Technology, which used a 4,000mAh battery phone to demonstrate its 200W charging technology. The charger was capable of taking the device from 0 to 50 percent in three minutes and 0 to 100 percent in eight minutes. We can expect something similar with the Vivo 200W charging technology.
