Meizu’s 55W Super mCharge technology to go commercial next year

Meizu is all set to take the lead and make the next important jump in smartphone charging technology with Super mCharge. The tech itself is no secret as Meizu has already spilled all the beans on Super mCharge in their official website. The bad news is that we’ll only be able to see this about a year from now as revealed from a Weibo post.

Meizu boasts of obtaining an output charge of 55W which no other OEM has managed to pull off till now. The main reason why we haven’t seen search numbers may be due to thermal constraints of devices. Charging capabilities usually reside in the SoC which in this case is usually Qualcomm’s or MediaTek’s chipset.

By designing the device, device battery and the charging tech into an all-in-one solution, Meizu claims to have done what nobody else could. In addition to offering three times the charging capacity of today’s tech, Meizu also claims that Super mCharge will keep your device relatively cool at a maximum temperature of 39 degree Celsius. These are excellent numbers and we can’t wait to see it become a reality.

Remember the old days when you had to wait a good five minutes for Windows 98 to boot up? Windows boot times are now literally in single digit seconds. Or take the transition of storage technology twenty years back when a Floppy disk allowed 1.44MB of data. Today, something the size of your nail can carry 200,000 times the data of a Floppy disk. Perhaps the time is finally coming for charging technology to cross that metaphorical barrier.

But what we all really want, is longer battery life. Whether that can be obtained from larger batteries or super optimized software, longer battery life always trumps the hassle of keeping your device charged regularly. When such a time comes, that will be when smartphones become truly mobile.
