Building off its previous SuperVooc charging tech, Oppos new 125-watt Flash Charge power adapter guarantees the ability to recharge a 4,000 mAh phone battery to 41% in simply 5 minutes, or all the method to 100% in simply 13 minutes in perfect conditions. Frankly, thats method more than many individuals would ever need, though in those situations where youre about to head out for the day and you simply understood you forgot to charge your phone, Oppos charging tech might be a lifesaver.
There are some limitations to the tech. In typical conditions where phone temperature is 40 degrees Celsius (around 104 degrees Fahrenheit) or less, Oppo says charging from 0 to 100% will take around 20 minutes– which is still very quick.
Additionally, while Oppo says its new 125-watt Flash Charge adapter is backward compatible with older phones with assistance for Super VOOC and VOOC charging procedures like the Oppo Reno 2, neither VOOC nor Super VOOC are actually what you d call industry requirements, as that tech is typically only included in Oppo phones.

Phone charging speeds have gotten respectable over the last couple of years, but today, Oppo may have revealed what might be the fastest smart device power brick on the planet.

While Oppo has yet to expose prices or schedule for its brand-new variety of charging gear, we can probably a minimum of a number of them to appear later this year alongside a new line of Oppo phones.
Completing Oppos brand-new range of charging tech are 2 super-portable battery chargers: a 110-watt Mini Flash Charger and a 50-watt Mini SuperVOOC charger, the latter of which Oppo says is the smallest and thinnest power adapter of its kind. Determining simply 10.5 mm thick (around 0.4 inches), the Mini SuperVOOC charger utilizes gallium nitride components and a new pulse-charging strategy to deliver charger thats both extremely small and power-efficient.
To help get to those super-fast charging speeds, Oppo supports 20-volt charging at 6.25 amps, while also using three charging pumps to provide an impressive 98% charging efficiency. To help prevent its 125-watt Flash Charge from damaging your phone, Oppo takes measurements from 10 additional temperature level sensing units to prevent overheating while likewise using fuse overvoltage defense measures.

While all this sounds excellent in theory, it still stays to be seen what sort of effect 125-watt charging will have on the overall health and durability of a phones battery. While super-fast charging speeds are excellent, if it indicates the battery in your phone only lasts for a couple of years before it has actually to be replaced, it might not deserve it.
That stated, if youre interested in faster wireless charging, Oppo also presented its new AirVooc 65-watt charging pad, which the business claims can recharge a phone with a 4,000 mAh battery in simply 30 minutes. In order to decrease heat produced by the system, Oppo included a semiconductor cooler to the bottom of the pad. And since AirVooc is Qi-compatible, it needs to work with almost every contemporary phone with cordless charging, though its unclear if phones with standard Qi charging will get the same peak 65-watt charging speeds.
