When Realme announced the GT Neo 5, the company revealed that the 4,600 mAh battery powering the phone could be charged in nine minutes. While this is similar to what the Redmi Note 12 Discovery Edition achieved a few months ago, the Redmi used a smaller 4300 mAh battery. Today, however, Redmi outdid itself and demoed a modified version of the same smartphone being charged at an insane 300W.
Redmi shared details of the company’s 300W fast charging tech via a Weibo post and revealed that the phone gobbled up 290W of peak power during some phases of the charging process. In fact, the phone took just less than two minutes (82 seconds) to get from 0% to 50% charge. The modified 4100 mAh battery on the smartphone was fully charged in less than five minutes, taking 4 minutes and 54 seconds, to be precise. Redmi also confirmed that the specially modified GaN charger had an average power draw of 280W during the entire process. To prevent the phone and the charger from being fried during the process, Redmi claims to have equipped them both with over 50 safety protections — including using carbon parts instead of graphite for electrodes and a new “sandwich” design for the battery that helps in better, faster heat dissipation.
Fast is an understatement. ⚡️⚡️⚡️

Given that the timing of Xiaomi’s announcement coincided with the Realme GT3’s global launch, it is clear that the company planned to take the thunder away from Realme. However, Realme has still won the war, given that Redmi’s 300W charging tech has yet to make it to a commercially available smartphone.
