Any and all innovations regarding capacity and charging times will always be big news because batteries still suck. At the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona this week, Oppo will be showing off its new 150W SuperVOOC charging standard, which the company promises will revive a nearly dead phone in just a quarter of an hour.
We have all come to accept that the batteries on our smart devices need to be carefully rationed throughout the day, supplemented through the use of portable chargers, or repeatedly topped off through an ongoing hunt for available power outlets.
A device with a large battery can be charged from 1% to 50%, thanks to the 150W SuperVOOC feature that will be introduced on a new OnePlus device later this year. The Verge points out that Oppo hasn't shared what charging times are like if you charge a dead phone from zero.
The new 150W SuperVOOC standard is particularly interesting because it doesn't reduce the life span of the battery, but it doesCharging a battery at high speeds isn't necessarily a new innovation, but doing it safely, without significantly reducing that battery's life span, is what The charging process is adjusted based on how much energy is needed and the chemistry of the battery. After 1,600 charge cycles, batteries charged with the 150W SuperVOOC technology will still retain 80% of their original capacity, despite the fact that Oppo hasn't said if full charging speeds will be reached every single time.
