The World's Fastest Charging Smartphone Isn't Coming To The U.S.

screenrant.com:

iQOO, a subsidiary of Vivo, has announced its latest flagship smartphone that sets a new fast-charging record, but unfortunately, it won't make it to the U.S. Chinese manufacturers have been at the forefront of fast-charging technologies. In 2021, the record was 120W fast charging but this year, Oppo and OnePlus have launched a number of smartphones with support for 150W fast charging.

Now, iQOO, a brand that started as an off-shoot of Vivo just as Redmi is to Xiaomi, has broken that record. However, it is still slightly behind the 240W fast charging prototype Oppo showed off at MWC 2022 back in February. Not all manufacturers are onboard the superfast charging train. Brands such as Google and Apple are still playing it safe by sticking to a significantly lower wattage for their fast charging technology.

The iQOO 10 Pro made its debut in China as the world's first smartphone with support for 200W fast wired charging, surpassing the previous record of 150W available on a handful of devices including the OnePlus 10R. With this superfast charging speed, the iQOO 10 Pro's dual-cell 4,700mAh battery can be charged from empty to full in just 10 minutes. The phone is able to achieve this with a bundled GaN charger that has a 10A rating. Alongside superfast charging, the iQOO 10 Pro also packs other flagship-grade specifications.

iQOO has equipped its phone with a 6.78-inch E5 AMOLED curved display. It is a 3,200×1,440 120Hz LTPO 3.0 10-bit panel which means its refresh rate can automatically adjust between 1Hz to 120Hz for better power efficiency. In addition, the display has support for DC Dimming, HDR10+, and has a peak brightness level of 1,500
