OPPO has quietly launched a new wireless charger in China called ‘OPPO Wireless Charger 15W’. It is the company’s slowest wireless charger yet. Let’s take a look at what this new product has to offer.

OPPO Wireless Charger 15W Specifications and Features

The newly launched OPPO wireless charger is circular in shape and comes in a single white color option. As its name suggests, its maximum output rate is 15W, and therefore, it is the slowest wireless charger from the company yet. The other models sold by the firm are OPPO 45W AirVOOC Wireless Charger and OPPO 40W AirVOOC Wireless Charger.

That said, the new product bears model number OAWV03 and supports Qi wireless charging protocol. Hence, it can be used to charge almost every device with support for wireless charging. But it requires at least a USB PD 2.0-compatible power adapter to get 15W output.

As far as design is concerned, the charger is not only compact in size but also lightweight. Further, it features a leather finish on the surface to hold the slippery glass-equipped smartphones in place. It also has an LED indicator.

Like any other charging product, it comes with six layers of protection, namely over-current protection, over-voltage protection, over-temperature protection, under-voltage protection, electrostatic protection, and foreign object detection.

Last but not least, the charger features a USB Type-C port and ships with a USB Type-A to USB Type-C cable.

OPPO Wireless Charger 15W Price and Availability

The OPPO Wireless Charger 15W is priced at ¥99 ($15) in China. It is already up for sale in the company’s home country.

As of now, it’s not known if this product will ever make its way to the global markets.

OPPO is known for its charging solutions. The company has been providing fast charging capabilities on its smartphones for a very long time. However, it debuted fast wireless charging only in early 2020. Now, more than a year later, the company still only sells two fast wireless chargers. This may change soon as the firm patents a design for yet another wireless charger.

A few days back, design patents of two new OPPO wireless chargers were spotted. Unlike the already available AirVOOC chargers, these ones are magnetic.

Just like those design patents, the newly found patent by OyPirce also showcases a magnetic wireless charger. However, this design is relatively slimmer and even looks better.

The charging plate is circular in shape but the overall product is teardrop-shaped with a USB Type-C port and an LED indicator. Unfortunately, the design patent does not reveal anything else. Hence, the power output of this charger is a mystery.

For the uninitiated, realme has scheduled an event called ‘realme Magnetic Innovation Event’ for August 3. The brand is expected to announce ‘MagDart’, a magnetic wireless charging solution like Apple MagSafe for multiple product categories.

Since realme’s existing Dart and SuperDart charging solutions are nothing but rebranded OPPO VOOC and SuperVOOC, we expect the same for the upcoming MagDart. In other words, the recently patented OPPO magnetic wireless chargers are likely based on the same solution

Yesterday, OPPO launched the Find X3 series as its latest flagship smartphone series. The two devices in the lineup, namely Find X3 and Find X3 Pro support the company’s 30W AirVOOC wireless charging protocol. However, the firm has quietly listed an even powerful 45W AirVOOC Wireless Charger on Jingdong (JD).

The OPPO ACE2 is the first smartphone to support the company’s AirVOOC wireless charging protocol. Unlike the OPPO Find X3 and the OPPO Find X3 Pro, the ACE2 can charge at a maximum rate of 40W. This handset was announced in April 2020 and it is sold exclusively in China.

In other words, OPPO did not launch any other phone with support for AirVOOC for almost a year. But the firm’s sister brand OnePlus did in the form of the OnePlus 8 Pro. OnePlus calls this protocol ‘Warp Charge Wireless’ and it maxes out at 30W.

Up until now, there were only two chargers to make use of this proprietary charging protocol. The first model is OPPO 40W AirVOOC Wireless Charger, which was announced alongside the OPPO ACE2. Whereas, the second product is the OnePlus Warp Charge 30 Wireless Charger.

This makes the new 45W AirVOOC Wireless Charger the third product to support this charging protocol. But the problem is OPPO does not have a single smartphone compatible with a 45W wireless charging rate. This hints that the company may release a new handset with support for this standard in the near future.

Another possibility is that this same charger could be rebranded with OnePlus branding for the upcoming OnePlus 9 Pro, which is reported to have support for Warp Charge 45 Wireless. 

Whatever it may be, we can expect faster wireless charging smartphones from the three Oujia brands (OPPO, OnePlus, realme).

OPPO 45W AirVOOC Wireless Charger Specifications, Features, and Price

As the name suggests, the new OPPO AirVOOC wireless charger can support up to 45W output. However, the maximum speeds are only compatible with devices with AirVOOC tech. Whereas, devices with support for Qi charging protocol are limited to 15W only.

As far as inputs are concerned, this charger can be used with 18W, 20W, and 65W adapters. The maximum wireless charging speed will depend on the adapter used. Also, it is worth noting that the product does not ship with an adapter but it does come with a USB Type-A to Type-C cable.

The charging stand is vertical in design but phones can be placed both vertically and horizontally. Further, the charger will able to charge the phones at the maximum speed with a case that has a thickness of less than 2mm.

It has six protections for over-voltage, under-voltage, over-temperature, over-current, electrostatic, and foreign body detection. Lately, the charger also features a fan to keep the thermals down.

The  OPPO 45W AirVOOC Wireless Charger with model number OAWV02 comes only in white color and it is priced at ¥329 ($50) in China. The product should be available for purchase in the coming days.
