OPPO on Wednesday introduced the next iteration of its wired and wireless flash charge technology. The Chinese smartphone brand introduced a 125W wired and 65W wireless charge technology dubbed as 125W flash charge and 65W AirVOOC wireless charge, respectively. Besides, the company introduced a 50W mini SuperVOOC charger and a 110W mini flash charger.

The OPPO’s 125W flash charge technology can charge a 4,000 mAh battery to 41 per cent of its rated capacity in about five minutes, and 100 per cent in about 20 minutes, according to the company. From charger to battery and handset, the charge tech brings upgrades on all fronts to enable fast charging. The charger of 125W flash charge has 20V/6.25A output and features Type-C interface on both ends. The Type-C interface is compatible with PD, PPS and QC charge protocols; therefore, it may support charging mobile phones, laptops and other devices in the future.
The OPPO’s 65W AirVOOC wireless flash charge can charge a 4,000 mAh battery to 100 per cent of its rated capacity in about 30 minutes at the fastest rate, which is faster than most wired flash charge technologies in the market, according to the company. The 65W fast charging is enabled through new application of wireless charger and OPPO showcased its conceptualised wireless charger detailing how the new charge tech works.
The AirVOOC wireless charge tech requires dual parallel power channels (output at 20V 2A and 20V 1.25A respectively) to fast-charge mobile phones, placed either horizontally or vertically. When a phone is placed vertically on the OPPO conceptual charger, it charges at the 65W charging rate, and at 25W power when placed horizontally.
The 65W AirVOOC wireless flash is compatible with the Qi wireless charging standard introduced by the Wireless Power Consortium. It supports current mainstream wireless charging devices, Qi-BPP5W and Qi-EPP10W.
These are chargers with enhanced form factor for people always on the go. Touted as the world's smallest and thinnest 50W rated charger, the OPPO’s 50W mini SuperVOOC charger supports 100-240V 50/60Hz input voltage and universal power standards. It is compatible with PD charging protocols, supports up to 27W (9V3A) PD, supports up to 50W (11V4.5A) PPS fast charge, and can charge a variety of devices including mobile phones, tablets and laptops.

It has a USB-C interface and supports mainstream charging protocols like VOOC, PD, PPS, and QC.
