Innovations in the fast-charging space have continuously been pushed by Chinese brands. OPPO used Mobile World Congress to talk about its new 150W SuperVOOC fast-charging standard, which it claims can charge a 4,500mAh battery from 1 percent to 50 percent in five minutes, then to 100 percent in just 15. It plans to bring the technology first to its OnePlus sub-brand in the second quarter. 

OnePlus, we've heard, has plans to launch the OnePlus 10 Pro in more markets later this year. But that won't be the device to feature this technology. OPPO introduced 125W SuperVOOC fast-charging in 2020, but that wasn't launched in any of the company's products.

After its early January, China-exclusive launch, the OnePlus 10 Pro is finally coming to more regions. The company announced at Mobile World Congress 2022 that its latest flagship is coming to the US, Europe, and India "by the end of March." It also reversed its decision to launch the phone in these markets with the unified OS it developed with OPPO. OnePlus confirmed that "global OnePlus devices will continue to run OxygenOS," while their China counterparts will stick to ColorOS.

The OnePlus 10 Pro will launch with OxygenOS 12.1, but it will soon receive the OxygenOS 13 update. OnePlus emphasized that the OxygenOS and ColorOS share a "clean and lightweight" unified OS codebase, but OxygenOS gets a "lighter" stock Android experience to appeal to global users.
