Future OnePlus phone to get 150W fast-charging

Source: OPPO

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.

This is an Android alternative to Apple's MagSafe

realme, a Chinese smartphone brand owned by BBK Electronics (the conglomerate that also owns brands like OPPO and OnePlus), has just introduced its take on Apple MagSafe. The company has just launched MagDart, a magnetic wireless charging system ready to take on Apple's offering. MagDart leaps ahead by offering 50W magnetic charging, leveraging Realme's 65W SuperDart charging tech and an air-cooling system for maximum performance.

According to the company, the charging speed here should be comparable to its 50W SuperDart wired charger. The realme Flash concept phone armed with a 4,500mAh battery can charge the phone from zero to 100% in under an hour.
