The race for the fastest charging technology in a smartphone picked up speed a few weeks ago with Vivo's iQOO running stages ahead of others. At least technically, they were the first to demonstrate it on stage. It doesn't look like it's over yet, as the company will introduce the 120W Flash Charge technology to the public at an event next week. China Digital Entertainment Expo and Conference (nicknamed China Joy) is Asia's largest gaming event held annually where the entire gaming industry comes together for four days to discuss ongoing developments in online and mobile social gaming, locally and abroad.

(Image credit: iQOO) This time it will introduce the fastest 120W charging technology in a smartphone, as well as various other services at the event. If we remember, iQOO promised to bring a 120W Flash Charge powered device in early July or August, so we can expect to see at least one prototype at the event so that the public can see the Wonder Happen in minutes. Although we cannot say if it will actually be available for purchase on the market. Along with the 120W, it's supposed to feature a live AI app, a live comparison of 144Hz refresh rate displays with lower displays, performance, battery life, music, and more. Other hidden advantages of iQOO devices. But we already know that 120W will be the star of the show, as the company has already demonstrated via an online event that a typical 4000mAh battery will charge in 15 minutes. As for the battery feature, we would expect the 6-C dual-cell technology to be dissected where each cell amounts to 2000mAh each. They will be charged at 60W each via three parallel pump circuits inside, helping the technology achieve a 97% charge conversion rate. As for the device, there is no information yet, but rumors indicate that Vivo is preparing for a Pro version of the iQOO 3 and that it could debut with 120W Flash charging and Being a gaming-focused brand, we can expect SoC Flagship Qualcomm 8 series, battery cooling and more.
