Advances in fast charging technologies mean we’ll spend less time waiting for our smartphones and other electronics to recharge, but how fast are we talking about? Try just 15 minutes to bring a premium smartphone from nearly depleted (1 percent) to fully charged (100 percent), which is the promise of Oppo’s 150W SuperVOOD flash charge technology. This is one of two „breakthroughs in high-speed flash charging“ unveiled at Mobile World Congress today. The other is 240W SuperVOOC for even faster charging times (more on that in a moment), though it’s the 150W tech that will show up this year in mid-range and high-end smartphone models from both Oppo and OnePlus. Oppo’s 150W SuperVOOC tech uses direct charging technology with dual charge pumps to support up to 20V/7.5A charging. In doing so, the company claims a phone with a capacious 4,500 mAh battery can go from 1 percent to 50 percent only five minutes, just slightly longer than it takes me to brew a cup of coffee, and to 100 percent in only 15 minutes.
