OPPO launches a new flash charge lineup with new high-power wired and wireless charging technologies as well as high-power ultra-small chargers, consolidating OPPO’s leading position in flash charge
15 – OPPO announced today the official release of the 125W flash charge, the 65W AirVOOC wireless flash charge, the ultra-small portable 50W mini SuperVOOC charger as well as the 110W mini flash charger.
The 125W flash charge technology marks the latest flash charge technological
breakthrough for the mobile phone industry. With an advanced encryption algorithm and
strict temperature control regulators, it enables the safe and efficient use of the flash
charging device. The 65W AirVOOC wireless flash charge allows users to charge faster
compared to wired charging. The 50W mini SuperVOOCcharger and the 110W flash charger
which are introduced for the first time are unique innovations of OPPO’s VOOC flash charge
technology. They are field leaders in the miniaturization of high-power chargers as a result
oftheir unprecedented light, thin and portable features.
Jeff Zhang, Chief Charging Technology Scientist at OPPO, commented: “The accelerated 5G
rollout worldwide as well as the increasing diversification of high-power-consumption
applications including gaming and video viewing represent new challenges for the battery
life of mobile phones and user charging experience. OPPO has been leading the
development of fast charging ever since VOOC flash charge was launched in 2014. Now, we
are committed to continuing to build on our expertise and advantages in the field of high
power, wireless and ultra-small charging technologies in order to provide users with a safe,
efficient and convenient ultra-fast charging experience.”
125W flash charge: faster charging in the 5G era
OPPO’s 125W flash charge technology uses direct charging technology which is able to
charge a 4000mAh battery up to 41% in 5 minutes and fully charge it in 20 minutes at the
fastest rate. Simultaneously, it is compatible with previous SuperVOOC and VOOC flash
charge protocols and it also supports mainstream protocols including 65WPD and 125W
PPS. Currently, it is the most advanced flash charging technology in the industry.
Evolved from SuperVOOC’s technical design, the 125W flashcharge has undergone a
comprehensive hardware architecture upgrade.It can support a charging scheme of up to
20V 6.25A and has significantly improved power density properties in order to effectively
reduce charging time whilst simultaneously not increasing the size of the charger. In terms
of battery, it is equipped with double-6C cells with breakthrough battery ratio, industry-
leading multiple tab structures, charge pumps and a highly integrated MCU to improve
charging efficiency.
In addition, the technology behind the 125W flash charge has strengthened the safety
protection features in the system by adding 10 additional temperature sensors which
monitor the charging status and ensure maximum safety during charging. Furthermore, the
platform uses fuse overvoltage protection measures, Type-C to Type-C wire as well as 128-
bit high-strength encryption algorithm to enhance safety.
65W AirVOOC wireless flash charge: leading the development of wireless charging technology
Users want to be free of the hassle and inconvenience of charging cables and be able to
charge their devices as quickly as possible. The answer to this problem is the market-
leading wireless flash charge technology 65W AirVOOC wireless flash charge, which adopts
self-developed isolated charge pump technology and parallel dual-coil design to further
increase wireless charging efficiency.
The 65W AirVOOC wireless flash charge can fully charge a 4000mAh battery in 30 minutes
at the fastest rate. It has reduced the interference in frequency and thereby enabled
wireless charging to be widely applied. The technology has five-fold safety protection
measures in addition to a foreign object detection function. It is also compatible with the Qi
standard and provides users with a cable-free and super-fast charging experience.
In addition, OPPO has showcased a conceptual wireless charger for the 65W AirVOOC
wireless flash charge. The charger features a beautifully-sculpted glass which is made of
moldless rapid prototyping technology and is the first application of this type of technology
in the consumer electronics market.
The bottom of the charger is equipped with a semiconductor cooler in order to adjust the heat entering and exiting thereby ensuring that the handset is not hot after the appliance
has been charged. In this case, the temperature of the back of the phone is kept over 2℃
lower than that of only using the fan to dissipate heat. The unique design makes mobile
phone charging more convenient and has the capacity for high-power charging.
These unique features mean that the 65W AirVOOC wireless flash charge provides a unique
and unprecedented charging experience and may likely become users’ first charger choice
in the 5G era.
High-power ultra-small charger series: mini-size and easy to carry
OPPO also launched today the world’s smallest and thinnest 50W mini SuperVOOC charger,
and the 110W mini flash charger that features a unique dual-level architecture.
OPPO’s 50W mini SuperVOOC charger was developed through multi-radian curve
processing to a size similar to a business card holder; its wall has a thickness of only 1.05cm. As a result of its design, users can easily place it in their shirt pockets and coat
pockets, which makes it extremely convenient for commuting and traveling. The 50W mini
SuperVOOC charger is compatible with VOOC protocols, supports mainstream protocols like
27W PD and 50W PPS, and can charge a variety of devices including mobile phones and
laptops.
OPPO’s engineers designed a revolutionary architecture for the 50W mini SuperVOOC
charger and reduced the size of the components that take up the most space by using a
new topological design. This provides a highly efficient power conversion by removing the
conventional electrolytic capacitor as well as introducing pulse charging – the first in the
industry, aviation-grade high power clamping diodes and GaN high frequency switching
power supply technology, to finally achieve miniaturization of high-power chargers.
Building upon the 50W mini SuperVOOC charger, OPPO’s 110W mini flash chargerhas
defied the limits of size and efficiency for high-power adapters.Besides using the innovative
dual-level architecture to achieve high-efficiency power conversion and temperature rise
control, the 110W mini flash charger is built upon the combination of laminate and compact
structures which minimizes its size to just 35.76 cm³ – similar to the size of a normal 18W
charger.
In the era of intelligent connectivity, OPPO’s ultra-small charger series will provide flash
charging anywhere and at any time. Charge-and-go is now a reality, a single charger which
powers multiple devices.
As of June 2020, OPPO has applied for more than 2,800 global patents for flash charging.
The firm’s 30-plus smartphone models featuring VOOC flash charge technology have
delivered the ultra-fast charging experience to over 157 million users globally. With
demand growing for mobile flash charging in the era of intelligent connectivity, OPPO will
continue to improve and upgrade the VOOC flash charge platforms and develop industry-
leading technologies to deliver flash-charging experiences suitable to all usage scenarios
for its users across the world.
