Upgraded SuperVOOC Will Charge a 4,000mAh Battery in Minutes, Says Oppo VP

Oppo vice-president, Shen Yiren, is believed to have confirmed that a new,‘upgraded’version of the company’s SuperVooc fast charging technology will be unveiled later this year. In a Weibo post this week, he claimed that the new tech will be able to fully juice-up a 4,000mAh battery in a matter of minutes. He also revealed that the new tech will be incorporated in a new Oppo smartphone by the end of this year.Screenshot Courtesy: GizChina

While there’s no further info currently on either the upcoming phone or the new tech, rumors suggest that the device may support up to 80W charging. Online chatter also seems to suggest that the device alluded to by Shen is the next-gen Oppo Reno, which isalso rumored to ship with a 90Hz display, something that’s becoming increasingly mainstream this year.

It’s worth noting that SuperVOOC is already one of the fastest technologies available in the industry, with theOppo Find X Lamborghini Editionbeing one of the fastest-charging phones ever. Released last year, the device came with a 50W charger that allowed the phone’s 3,400mAh battery to be charged from 0 percent to 93 percent in just 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, Oppo’s sister concern, Vivo, already has what’s believed to be the world’s fastest battery-charging technology. Called‘Super FlashCharge’, it supports up to 120W fast-charging and was originallyannounced last June, before beingdemoed at MWC Shanghaia few days later. According to latest rumors, the Nex 3 could become the first phone to come with the new technology that the company claims could fullycharge a 4,000mAh battery in just 13 minutesand 14 seconds.
