New Huawei fast charging technology launched on the upcoming Mate 20 flagship might be the Fastest on the Planet. Keep reading for more details!

Huawei fast charging technology

A quick backstory, super VOOC is the fastest charging tech currently available in the market. The tech is owned by Chinese smartphone manufacturer and recently, OPPO used it on the Find X Lamborghini Edition flagship. For reference, the tech boasts of charging the 3400mAh battery in just 35 minutes. Since then, other companies have started noticing how efficient it is. And now, we might be seeing similar charging technology from Huawei as well.

To be specific, a Huawei Power adapter developed by Astec Electronics has passed 3C certification recently. It comes with model number HW-100400C00 and has a 10V/4A recharge configuration. The maximum charging power can go as high as 40W. That means it will break the ceiling of the 22.W fast charge present in the current Huawei P20 series. Previously, Huawei launched the Honor Magic back in 2016.

The Honor phone comes with 5V/8A fast charging tech which claimed to fully charge in 45 minutes. But with this new Huawei fast charging technology, it may reduce it to just 30 minutes. There is no information on about which smartphone the tech will debut yet, but we assume the company’s upcoming Huawei Mate 20 is going to feature this. Furthermore, the speeds can be measured once it is released, but we bet its one of the fastest charging tech available this year if not the best.

Huawei Super Charge technology

The new Huawei fast charging technology – Super Charge – will be competing against the likes of Dash Charge and VOOC in terms of speed and efficiency. Besides, what can set it apart from the already existed charging method is if Huawei can make the tech become more affordable and not super expensive.
