Last year, Infinix tested a concept phone supporting 160W fast charging. It was presumed the Infinix Zero X would come equipped with the system, however, this was not the case.
Since then, Infinix has been progressively working on new fast-charging systems, pushing the battery tech bar even higher. Now, a new video from Infinix CEO Benjamin Jiang has surfaced showcasing a new charging model dubbed “Thunder Charge” with a peak rating of 180W.

The 10-second clip displays a massive surge in power to the unspecified device, as battery percentage rises swiftly.
We still don’t know how fast it is although we do know, that the benchmark for the 160W system was to fully charge a 4,000mAh battery in 10 minutes. While the company hasn’t released a retail device supporting 160W charging yet, it did recently launch the Note 12 VIP with 120W fast charging.
Despite sporting a slightly larger 4,500mAh battery, the Note 12 VIP goes from 0-100% in just 17 minutes. Check out our review and unboxing article for more on the Infinix Note 12 VIP. As for this new system, there could be more to this mysterious smartphone, so stay tuned for more updates.
