As well as regular mains charging adaptors, OPPO has also worked its technology into its VOOC car charger, Power Bank, and a mini mains charger with a detachable USB cable.
With high performance smartphone and tablet specifications still putting a strain on our batteries, faster charging technology offers a way for power users to keep their devices topped up throughout the day. Hopefully we will see a lot of more Quick Charge 2.0 and OPPO’s VOOC Flash Charge in this year’s product line-ups.
Let’s be honest: even with “fast charging” out there, we still constantly find ourselves pulling the plug as we run out the door long before our smartphones are fully charged. And as we all know, the difference between an 80% charge and a 100% charge can be huge when you’ve got a day full of meetings.
Fresh off of its announcement that it shipped more than 50 million smartphones in 2015, Oppo on Tuesday unveiled its latest advancement in smartphone charging — which just so happens to be one of the most exciting developments we’ve seen so far at this year’s Mobile World Congress trade show.
The company’s new fast charging tech is called SuperVOOC and Oppo says that it can charge a 2,500 mAh smartphone battery from empty to full in just 15 minutes. And it uses standard MicroUSB or USB Type-C cables with no fancy upgrades. Of note, Qualcomm’s latest fast charging technology takes more than twice as long to charge a similarly sized battery to just 80%.
To further put Oppo’s achieve in perspective, 2,500 mAh is far bigger than the iPhone 6s’ 1,715 mAh battery. In fact, it’s nearly as big as the iPhone 6s Plus’ 2,750 mAh battery. Imagine being able to charge your phablet in under 20 minutes.
And now, the bad news: Oppo hasn’t given a firm timeline of when this tech might reach the public, I hope it reaches Nigeria soon sha.
