vivo iQOO 7 might arrive with 120W fast charging

Vivo has introduced a 120W fast-charging solution earlier this year and actually followed through with an announcement of a smartphone with the technology. The vivo iQOO 5 Pro 5G is currently the only handset in the world with such powerful charging capabilities and it looks like a successor is already in the pipelines.

A device codenamed V2049A, likely to be part of the iQOO 7 series, was spotted on 3C with a 120W charger.

While we have no official confirmation this is an iQOO phone, this line-up is de-facto vivo’s flagship family since the X phones are better positioned in the upper midrange part of the spectrum, while the NEX is more of a concept-made-reality type of series.

Of course, we would love to see the 120W fast-charging in a non-flagship phone but there aren’t many chipsets that support the current solution vivo has implemented – dual 6C battery cells that charge simultaneously.

It is easy to predict only the iQOO 7 Pro will have the 120W fast charging, but the more important matter is whether we’ll see this phone outside China or just like the iQOO 5 Pro it will remain for domestic eyes only.

Digital Europe: 7.6 billion for high-performance computers, AI and IT security

1.6 billion euros are dedicated to cybersecurity in order to strengthen coordination in this area between the member states and to strengthen Europe’s capabilities and to support the use of relevant techniques and the necessary know-how throughout the economy. The planned EU competence center for cybersecurity will be responsible for this.

European digital innovation centers planned For optimal use digital capacities and the creation of interoperability are a good billion euros. The program is also expected to contribute 577 million to the training of the workforce in digital skills.

These hubs are intended to cover all of Europe and play a central role in the implementation of the program. Grants can cover up to 100 percent of the eligible costs. The plan is for the member states and, if necessary, the private sector to co-finance measures. The corresponding approach is to be defined in multiannual work programs.

The Commission wanted the digital program to amount to 9.2 billion euros, while the Council wanted to shrink it to 6.8 billion. The IT umbrella organization Digital Europe had considered 25 billion euros to be appropriate. According to the budget, there is also the Horizon Europe research framework program, which has now landed at around 95, 5 billion euros. It ties in with the forerunner horizon 2020. There is also the “Connecting Europe” facility, which is supposed to stimulate broadband expansion with fiber optics and 5G Compromise. The digital program is therefore an important element of the economic stimulus package. Parliament’s rapporteur, Liberal Valter Flego, spoke of an important step towards the goal of “asserting Europe’s digital sovereignty”.
