Bluboo have announced that their upcoming model, the Bluboo X550 will be one of the first devices to launch with Pump Express Plus technology.
Bluboo had previously already announced that the X550 would feature a 5300mAh battery, now we know that charging that battery will take very little time at all.
The battery in the X550 is made by a US-based start-up called Amprius, who have managed to create batteries with smaller physical size than ever offered before. The Amprius tech allows batteries to be as much as 30% smaller than similar capacity batteries.
In addition to the Amprius battery, the X550 will also be one of the first phones to ever use Mediatek’s Pump Plus charging system.
Pump Express and Pump Express Plus allows charging time to be greatly reduced through the use of a special charger and integrated power management integrated circuit.
With Plump Express Plus the DC wall charge first determines the initial voltage required to charge the battery pack based on the current charge. As the charge begins the voltage is gradually increased for a faster charge time. Pump Express Plus is designed for an output of 15W at up to 12V!
Bluboo say that with these new technologies the huge 5800mAh battery in the X550 can charge to %50 in only 30 minutes while 80% is possible in only an hour.
Presages for the fast charging, LTE, Bluboo X550 begin in May.

It will be a 5350 or 5800 mah battery ?
Is the gearbest deal with reduction coupon is still available ?
Not sure why this is a draw — my girfriend dumped me because I suffered from Pump Express.
15W / 5V is 3A which matches the output of Qualcomm quick charge 2.0.
These are the good news I wanted to hear from Mediatek.
This is getting more interesting.
And that battery…. Holy moly!
Batteries are like boobs, the bigger the better!
Up to 12V.
I have to admit that I’m a little rusty with physics, so I invite the experts to correct me if in wrong.
15W/12V is 1.25A
To charge almost 6000 MhA in 60 minutes you need an output of 2A with an efficiency of 100% with no dispersion at all.
Obviously this is not the scenario because while charging you will feel just a little of heat 😀
So I’m assuming that it will be needed more than 2A.
Nope,I can’t read that.
That’s not even a link
But I can read this where it says:
” 10W (5V) or 24W(12V)
Or even more….”
Which means 2A.
Definitely not 15W/12V
Because it would be 1.25A.
With that output you cant charge a
50% 5800mha battery in half hour. You need at least 2A.
Probably a little more due to dispersion, but it seems pretty much efficient. So I was wrong with the 3A of my first comment, not 1.25A either. It’s 2A.
It doesn’t match quick charge 2.0 but it’s pretty close.
I managed to open your link and I can actually read. Can you?
” a maximum output current of 12V through a standard USB adapter, and transmission power up to 15 watts or above.”
Which doesn’t mean 15W/12V
