Last week, Honor announced its new mid-range smartphone in the market, the Honor 20 Lite featuring Kirin 710F and triple rear cameras. The phone came with a large 4000mAh battery, officially supporting 22.5W charging. However, it turns out that the phone can charge faster than 22.5W if you use a high-wattage charger.

Earlier today, a known blogger in China tried charging his Honor 20 Lite with Huawei’s 40W SuperCharge fast charger. To his surprise, the phone displayed the ‘SuperCharging’ text on the screen, with decimal points in the charging percentage. This raised speculations that the phone actually charged at more than 20W.

And soon after this post was made public, Honor’s VP, Xiong Junmin, confirmed that the Honor 20 Lite charges at more than 20W. However, we still don’t have an official figure for its maximum charging speed. So before you get too excited, note that it still might not be as fast as 40W.

The stock 22.5W charger is still pretty good as it reportedly charges the Honor 20 Lite up to 53% in 30 minutes. For a 4000mAh battery, this figure is pretty good. Apart from this, the phone comes with a 6.3-inch FHD+ AMOLED display, 8GB of RAM, and a triple camera setup featuring a 48MP primary sensor, 8MP ultrawide lens, and a 2MP depth sensor. The Honor 20 Lite starts at around $200 for the 4GB RAM and 64GB ROM version. You can check out Honor 20 Lite hands on photos from here.
