As mobile phones become more and more stylish, manufacturers have to make various sacrifices. Connectors like the headphone jack have disappeared, although some brands, like Sony, still allow it. And on the other hand, the battery and the autonomy have an increasingly limited sizemaking us dependent on fast charging, an aspect in which OPPO has given further acceleration.
And it is that the Chinese giant presented in the marking of the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona in the 2022 edition a fast charge capable of offering 240 W of power, a figure that leaves the 150W SuperVOOC fast charge that OPPO also announced at the show almost an anecdote. And it seems like only yesterday they announced 125W fast charging.
Recharge your mobile in 15 minutes
Starting from the latter, OPPO has announced a new fast charging system under the SuperVOOC nomenclature that we already know and that is capable of reaching 150W of maximum energy delivery combining such power with a BHE system that seeks to extend the useful life of the batteries. And it’s all thanks to the basic use of a series of AI-supported algorithms that are responsible for managing power input and learn from battery usage and loads to s adapt to it.
With these figures on paper, the brand ensures that it is possible to fully charge a phone with a 4500 mAh battery in just 15 minutes or reach 50% of its battery (2,250 mAh) within the first 5 minutes of charging. This is made possible by a new GaN SuperVOOC BHE charger, similar in size to the brand’s current 65W GaN charger.
But it is that in addition, this load arrives associated with the new system BHE, acronym for Battery Health Engine and which promises to double the useful life of a battery compared to more traditional fast charging systems. According to the brand, with this technology, 80% battery health can be maintained after more than 1,600 full charge cycles, which would allow a phone to have up to 80% battery health after more than 1,600 full charge cycles. 5 years of life.
If 150W seems little… 240W is coming
These figures given by the brand are impressive, but they are miniaturized by the world’s newest fast charging system to achieve 240W power delivery. The new 240W SuperVOOC supports 24 volt, 10 amp charging and is capable of delivering 100% power to a 4500mAh battery in just 9 minutes.
The brand explains that to reach these figures, the system uses three charge pumps which convert the input stream from 24V/10A to 10V/24A. A process that allows to reduce the temperature and thus to obtain a delivery of energy that is not only fast but also safe and fluid.
To this end, a new intelligent and personalized control chip is incorporated which manages all aspects of charger power to the internal battery and for temperature control, up to 13 temperature sensors are built into the phone to reduce “the possibility of overheating” and help inform the manager chip of any abnormalities during the charging process.
For now, the announcement is the only thing we know, because the brand did not provide information compared to the phones of the firm which will release their new charging system.
