OPPO has officially announced a new lineup of ultra-fast charging solutions at a launch event in China. The lineup includes a 125W flash charge, 65W AirVOOC wireless flash charge, a pocket-sized 50W mini SuperVOOC charger, and a 110W mini flash charger.
In the past few years, OPPO has been spearheading the fast-charging market and today the company marked the latest flash charge technological breakthrough for the mobile phone industry ever with the 125W fast charging technology. 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 SuperVOOC charger and the 110W flash charger are field leaders in the miniaturization of high-power chargers as a result of their light, thin and portable features.
The Chief Charging Technology Scientist at OPPO – Jeff Zhang said, “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 the 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 just 5 minutes and at the fastest rate it can fully charge it in 20 minutes. Simultaneously, it is compatible with previous SuperVOOC and VOOC flash charge protocols and it also supports mainstream protocols including 65W PD and 125W PPS.
Evolved from SuperVOOC’s technical design, the 125W flash charge 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, 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 that 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
The 65W AirVOOC wireless flash charge, which adopts self-developed isolated charge pump technology and parallel dual-coil design further increases wireless charging efficiency. The 65W AirVOOC wireless flash charge can fully charge a 4000mAh battery in just 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.
50W Mini SuperVOOC Charger & 110W Mini Flash Charger: High-power ultra-small charger series
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 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 convenient for commuting and travelling. 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.
Building upon the 50W mini SuperVOOC charger, OPPO’s 110W mini flash charger has 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.
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.
