This week on Fast Charge,Dom Preston,Alex Walker-ToddandDavid Pricetalk about the biggest phone news this week, from fast chargers to free to chargers to the Vivo X50.
Oppo has smashed phone charging records with its new125W wired fast charging, but it has close competition with 120W offerings from Xiaomi, Vivo, and more – and David asks why fast charging even matters. That’s thrown into sharper relief by the news that both Apple and Samsung are consideringditching in-box phone chargersaltogether – is that a good change or bad?
Finally, Vivo is tentatively reaching into the global market with the international launch of theX50 series, and Dom has spent a week with the X50 Pro and its gimbal camera, so tune in for his thoughts so far.
