Still a huge problem for a lot of mobile users is the fact that the more high tech their phone becomes and the more features the OEMs bring, the faster our batteries drain. They still haven’t figured out the formula to crack that code. But MediaTek is claiming that they might have a sort of solution in its new product, the Pump Express 3.0. It is a battery charging tech that will power your smartphone up to 70% in just around 20 minutes.
This is MediaTek’s fastest battery charing technology so far and claims that you can “charge for five minutes and talk for four hours,” but of course these numbers depend on other conditions like dark screen, modem on/off, etc. But it says it is twice as fast as any existing solutions in the market today and five times faster than conventional charging. So if you’re in a hurry and you need to quickly give your device a boost, the Pump Express 3.0 tech should be able to help you there.
Aside from the charging speed, it says it has only managed to reduce the overheating while charging factor. That’s because they’ve routed the electrical current from the adaptor directly to the battery and it won’t pass anymore through your device’s charging circuitry which is where the overheating usually happens. Called direct charging, they are the first to enable this through usb-type-c power delivery.
The MediaTek Pump Express 3.0 will be included in the Helio series P20, expected to be available by the end of 2016. If your future smartphone will use MediaTek’s SoC’s, you can also request to have the tech added.
