Oppo has announced that it is working on an upgrade of its SuperVOOC fast charging technology and now it crosses the maximum power threshold of 300 watts. The company claims a record charging time of only 5 minutes for a full charge, or two minutes for charging approximately 50% of the battery. All this is carried out under strict conditions of heat and electricity control and of course will only be allowed on compatible models.
This is not a very surprising step after the subsidiary Realme (Realme) has already presented its own solution for charging with a power of 240 watts. In fact, it is the first company to offer a first commercial device that also supports the technology and this is the Realme GT3 (also known as the GT Neo5). This is a total charging time from 0 to 100 in only 10 minutes or 50% charging in 4 minutes.
But Oppo is not alone in the matter when just recently Xiaomi demonstrated a fast charging technology with a power of 300 watts. According to her, the new charger is not bigger or heavier thanks to a modular design and a more effective heat dissipation system. The change is also reflected in the phones and in particular in the battery where improvements have been made in the chemical composition, a new structure of the cells for more effective cooling.
Currently, neither Xiaomi nor Opo have presented a device that supports this fast charging capability, but it is likely that new and first models will arrive this year.
