You’ve probably heard something on our site lately about various extreme, super-fast charging technologies. This time, however, we’ll focus a bit more on the Chinese giant Oppo, which is preparing something for us. We’re talking about ultra-fast charging, the Super Flash Charge.
Oppo knows how to do fast charging
Back in September last year, we got to see the announcement of 64 W SuperVOOC 2.0 charging. At first, this technology integration was possible together with the Snapdragon 855+ processor in the Oppo Reno Ace smartphone.
At the event scheduled for July 15, the manufacturer will introduce the 125 W Super Flash Charge technology. For comparison, the 65 W SuperVOOC 2.0 can charge a 4,000 mAh battery in the phone in about 30 minutes. The video below is basically a teaser for the 125 W Super Flash Charge.
However, not long ago, a leaker named Ishan Agarwal said that Realme is very likely preparing a 120 W Ultra Dart charging solution, which—if it’s the same battery capacity—can charge a battery in just 10 minutes, which is really impressive.
We can infer this from a report saying that one third of the 4 000 mAh battery, using this technology, was charged by Realme in just 3 minutes. We mention it mainly so you can at least roughly gauge what charging speed the upcoming Super Flash Charge will bring.
125 W Super Flash Charge
In practice, we’ll see its use sometime later in the second half of this year—so, by the end of it. We’re also curious which smartphone will get this new feature integrated first. We’re looking forward to the final, record-breaking battery charging times too.
However, you might wonder whether such a powerful charger is even necessary. After all, you can still charge your smartphone overnight. Well, it’s highly debatable, and everything depends on individual users and whether they’ll be able to get the most out of the 125 W technology.
So it will be enough to plug your phone in sometime in the morning, right before you leave for work or school. You’ll probably notice stronger device heating during this process, which may lead to worse battery life after a few years.
For now, we can’t judge how these issues—along with many other potential problems—will be addressed. We’ll leave it to the companies themselves to figure out how to handle it.
Hopefully, we’ll see something truly breakthrough. The technology has to move forward, so we’ll also see advanced charging methods—which is never a bad thing.
