SHANGHAI -- Vivo unveiled Wednesday its new fast charging technology which it said could juice up a standard smartphone battery to 100 percent from 10 percent in 13 minutes alongside a host of 5G applications.

The company is among exhibitors at the Mobile World Congress here where China's tech behemoths showed off their next generation devices, some ahead of their commercial release.

Vivo's Super Flash Charge is rated at 120 watts, triple the capacity of the fastest that is commercially available, 40 watts on the Huawei P30 Pro. The company said it could charge to 50 percent from zero in 5 minutes.

Vivo's Super Fast Charge adds 6 points of charge, or from 22 percent to 26 percent in 20 seconds.
