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.

Last week, Xiaomi announced its Mi Charge Turbo 30W wireless charging technology, a significant upgrade to its 20W wireless Mi Charge Turbo that it announced earlier this year. Today, OPPO announced its own 30W wireless VOOC Flash Charge technology to rival Xiaomi’s.

The new wireless charging technology will now tie with Xiaomi’s Mi Charge Turbo for the crown of highest-rated wireless charging technology.

Zhang Jialiang who heads OPPO’s Flash Charge division said at the announcement that the wireless charging technology can charge a 4000mAh battery from empty to full in 80 minutes. This is slower than Xiaomi’s own which charges a 4000mAh battery in 69 minutes.

He also revealed that the charging temperature is controlled and does not exceed 40°C. The wireless charging technology uses a custom wireless charging chip, has foreign object detection and five protections built-in.

The 30W Wireless VOOC Flash Charge technology actually charges at 20V 1.5A but also supports 5W and 10W wireless charging. OPPO said in the official press statement that it “uses real-time adjustment of the charging process and efficient charging components to ensure a more efficient and safer charging while avoiding overheating.”

Mr. Zhang said the wireless charging technology will soon appear in a commercial product but did not specify which of its upcoming phones it is.
