Vivo has used its line of iQOO gaming phones to power smartphone technology for a while, and it appears the company has a significant new innovation in its next device. A video from the iQOO brand on Weibo shows a new device using the 120W fast cable charging solution that the company announced last June. According to the video, it appears that the 120-watt fast charger can fully charge a 4,000 mAh battery in 15 minutes and can take the phone to 50 percent in just five minutes.
If you’ve recently charged a phone, you know it positively crushes even today’s fast-charging standards. And since battery life is still largely limited by the physical size of batteries, many companies have focused on allowing customers to complete their phones as quickly as possible. In this scenario, Vivo’s charging technology gives it a significant advantage over pretty much everyone else, though of course we’ll still have to see this on a shipping phone before we can really say how well it works. Vivo’s first iQOO phone with this on-board technology is expected in August, so we hope we don’t have to wait too long to see it in action.
