Realme has just announced the world’s fastest charging smartphone, the Realme GT3. As expected, Realme made the phone official during MWC 2023 in Barcelona. This handset is basically a global variant of the Realme GT Neo5 240W which launched in China a while back.

This phone utilizes OPPO’s SuperVOOC charging tech, as it offers 240W charging. The phone does come with a 240W charger included in the box, in case you were wondering.

Realme announced the world’s fastest charging smartphone

So, how fast is its charging? Well, you can fully charge the phone in only 9 minutes and 30 seconds, says Realme. Reaching a 20% charge will take you only 80 seconds. This is a 4,600mAh battery we’re talking about, by the way.

The Realme GT3 is also equipped with a 6,580mm2 VC liquid cooling system. That cooling system covers 61.5% of the battery to ensure proper heat dissipation. The phone also includes a PS3 fireproof design, 13 temperature sensors, and 60 layers of safety protection. On top of everything, this charging system also has the TUV Rheinland certification.

Those of you who worry about battery health, well, you shouldn’t. Realme says that the phone still keeps an 80% lifespan of the battery after over 1,600 charging cycles with 240W SuperVOOC charging.

It includes the “Pulse Interface System” on the back

That’s not the only feature this phone has, however, not at all. The phone also has a “Pulse Interface System” with RGB lighting on the back. It takes inspiration from gaming handsets, in that regard, says Realme.

That light will be white when you receive a notification, it will give you a countdown when taking photos, show you the level of battery charge via colors, and more. It is also highly customizable, by the way, so you can tweak it any way you want. There are 25 color shades available, 2 rhythm types, and 5 lighting speed modes.
