Video: World's fastest-charging smartphone? Full battery in 9 minutes with this new device

Forget about the camera or the cool windows for multitasking — if you're among those whose phone battery is almost always about to die, this could be the best gadget for you: A smartphone that can be fully charged in nine minutes and 30 seconds.

Chinese startup Realme recently unveiled its new GT3 unit with a 240W battery tech that could make it the world's fastest-charging phone.

If your battery is dying, "30 seconds is all it takes to get you out of a squeeze and get you going without disrupting your flow," said Mark Wesley of Realme Global during the launch in Spain.

With a half-minute charge, a user can make a two-hour 5G call, three and a half hours of music, 45 minutes of video-streaming, and 25 minutes of gaming, he added.

Here's a look at the phone:

These figures, however, could be obtained in ideal conditions and, with normal use, it could take a bit more time.

The company said the GT3's 4,600mAh battery is durable, too, with an ability to retain 80 per cent of its capacity even after 1,600 charge cycles.
