Chinese device maker Oppo has been working on rapid charging technology for a while now, with its VOOC brand available on smartphones from the company for a few years.
As the current quarter comes to a close, Oppo is expected to announce an upgrade of its fast-charging technology, with a 125W super fast-charging solution set to be revealed on July 15.
According to a teaser posted on the brand's Twitter account, Oppo's 125W fast-charging technology is expected to charge a smartphone with a 4,000mAh battery in just a quarter of an hour or less.
For context, Oppo's current SuperVOOC 2.0 technology, which is 65W, can fully juice up a 4,000mAh battery in just half an hour.
Other Chinese device makers, such as Xiaomi and Vivo, have also been working on fast-charging technology, with Xiaomi showcasing a 100W fast-charging solution in March and Vivo demoing its own 120W fast-charging technology in June.
With the announcement of Oppo's 125W fast-charging technology just around the corner, it will be interesting to see how it compares to its competitors.
As Oppo's CEO tweeted on July 13, 2020, "If you don’t like waiting to charge, the wait is almost over. #FlashForward epic.twitter.com/Uq54uJEphQ"
