Oppo is planning on commercially launching its 30W VOOC wireless fast charging technology soon. The company has been working on this for a while now and we may see premium smartphones feature this technology in the near future.
Oppo had initially teased the technology back in 2019 but hadn’t released any smartphone featuring the 30W VOOC wireless charging. The company claimed that many real time adjustments had to be made to make the wireless charging efficient and safe. Various measures were taken to ensure the avoidance of overheating while sensory functions had to also be implemented, so the wireless charger stopped immediately if a foreign metallic object is detected.
Through al this hurdle, it was expected that the Oppo Find X2 series might sport the technology, but alas, that was not the case either. However, Edward Tian, the Charging Engineer at OPPO, has revealed that the wireless VOOC charger is now technically ready for a commercial launch. Furthermore, he even stated that it can also be paired alongside the existing 65W SuperVOOC wires charging technology as well, which can be found in the Find X2 series.

So, it is unknown why the company opted to skip out on the feature for the Find X2, but cost cutting could be a reason. Although, even if Oppo hasn’t included the technology in any of its own smartphones, the OnePlus 8 series might just sport the technology. Oppo and OnePlus are both owned by a company called BBK Electronics, and regularly share technology like the Dash/Warp fast charging.
OnePlus has yet to launch a smartphone with wireless charging, so this year could mark the shift towards it. Previously, senior executives had stated that the technology was skipped in the last few generations due to it still being in its nascent stages. However, wireless charging has improved immensely ever since, and OnePlus might just include it in its upcoming flagship series. Although this is just speculation, so take it with a grain of salt.
