A few months have passed since then OPPO will present its 240-watt charging technology, 240W SUPERVOOC, on MWC 2022. A presentation that left us without a word, because if it got into the real world, it would be able to fully charge (from an absolute vacuum) a 4500 milliampere battery in about nine minutes. Outrage that would completely rewrite the concept of mobility as we know it today.

But, of course, I’m talking about the real world, because something we’re used to today is seeing the manufacturers show us their progress in the charging function. Whether with more than a remarkable increase in speed or with surprising technologies such as plug-to-charger wireless transmission, this is a very suitable field that R&D departments can demonstrate, but we are used to the fact that these announcements are nothing more than a technical demonstration, but they do not get on the market. However, this may not be the case with 240 watts OPPO.

And as we can read in Gizchina, rumors have recently begun to spread in the industry, signals the impending commercial launch of a 240-watt fast charging system. Rumors that do not explicitly state the name of the technology that would be found after that launch, but indicate a company of Chinese origin, which is in line with the OPPO announcement at MMWC 2022, so it is most likely a candidate.

The features of smartphones are growing significantly, as are their functions. Any user who has experienced the evolution of a smartphone will be able to judge from their own experience that the sum of the possibilities has never stopped, which is generally very positive, but also requires more sophisticated load management, if we do not want to discharge the battery at the least convenient time. This problem is significantly alleviated by a 240-watt charging system that allows a full charge in such a short time.

However, it is too early to start rubbing your hands. The electric charge at these speeds necessarily forces the elements involved they are able to withstand physical peripetia. In other words, the cables, charging ports and circuits of the smartphone and, of course, the battery itself must be able to withstand this flow of energy without being affected by the heat produced. So we understand that a 240-watt charging system will go hand in hand with a device capable of using it, and the point will be the design of the device.
