OPPO will announce a new phone on May 23. The device which is called the OPPO K3 will have a pop-up selfie camera with a notch-less display and a Snapdragon 710 SoC. A new report says OPPO will also announce new VOOC accessories alongside the phone.

The info was revealed by the official OPPO Accessories Weibo page. The Chinese manufacturer will announce three new VOOC accessories and a SuperVOOC car charger. We are surprised about the latter since it launched a SuperVOOC car charger back in January. The other VOOC accessories are said to be power banks and one might even be Pikachu-branded just like the SuperVOOC one from last year. However, these power banks may support the new VOOC 3.0 fast charging technology.

It has also been reported that the OPPO K3 will also support VOOC 3.0 fast charging technology.

OPPO’s SuperVOOC fast charging technology is still the fastest charging technology available on a commercial device. However, it is not the fastest. Huawei’s Mate X supports 55W fast-charging but since it is yet to go on sale, OPPO is still holding on to the crown. Xiaomi also announced its 100W fast charging technology back in March but it is yet to appear in any of its devices.

The Realme 3 Pro is an anticipated device from Realme set to take on the Redmi Note 7 Pro. The phone is scheduled to launch this month though the exact date is still unknown. Alleged specs of the phone have leaked and it seems there will soon be a new mid-range king in the Indian smartphone market.

The leak was first reported by Indiashopps and they say the info comes from unnamed sources and analysts.

First, the Realme 3 Pro will come with the Snapdragon 710 processor which powers phones like the Mi 8 SE and the Nokia 8.1. When compared to the Snapdragon 675 which powers the Redmi Note 7 Pro, the Snapdragon 710 trumps it only in graphics performance. The SDM710 is also more power efficient since it is built on a smaller node.

The Realme 3 Pro will come in three variants – 4GB RAM + 32GB, 4GB RAM + 64GB, and 6GB RAM + 64GB. All three models should support storage expansion. There will also be three color variants but they weren’t revealed.

Coming to cameras, the Realme 3 Pro will not join the Sony IMX586 train but use the Sony IMX519, the same primary sensor in the OnePlus 6T.

There is no info on battery capacity but the Realme 3 Pro will support VOOC 3.0 according to the source. The OPPO Reno is also said to feature this new fast-charging technology. It is entirely different from SuperVOOC which the Find X uses. Nevertheless, VOOC 3.0 is said to be 23.8% faster than VOOC 2.0.

The Realme 3 Pro will launch later this month and there are rumors it might even be the third week of April. If that is the case, Realme will likely announce the date soon.

There is no confirmation about the info above, so we advise you take it with a grain of salt.

OPPO‘s SuperVOOC fast charging technology is unarguably the fastest quick charge technology for smartphones presently. While OPPO is launching car chargers with the supersonic SuperVOOC feature, the company has disclosed that the technology will not be on the upcoming OPPO Reno. Instead, the Reno will have the latest VOOC 3.0 technology.

The OPPO’s VP confirmed this on Friday in a Weibo post, offering some reasons why the Reno cannot have SuperVOOC technology. According to him, SuperVOOC has specific requirements regarding the physical size of the battery and space of the phone’s components. Reno doesn’t seem to meet those requirements instead, it comes with big battery capacity and the size may be too thin which would make the components to be compacted. The fast charging technology will be powered by VOOC 3.0. Bryan Shen revealed that the new VOOC 3.0 uses a completely new technology which brings the total charging time to 23.8% faster than the current VOOC 2.0. The VOOC fast charging technology is based on a low voltage pulse algorithm and customized super battery developed by the company. The charging technology churns out 20W of power just like OnePlus’s Dash Charge and lets you recharge your phone from 0 – 75% in 30 minutes.

OPPO’s flight to the limelight in the smartphone industry was perhaps propelled by the VOOC flash charge technology that it used on its smartphones. The company took the bar higher when it introduced the Super VOOC Flash Charge technology at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2016. The technology only found its way to the Find X Lamborghini edition that was launched last year. Notably, the Find X Lamborghini edition packs a 3,400mAh battery whereas the Reno is said to have a 4064mAh battery under its hood. Super VOOC can charge a 2500mAh battery in just 15 minutes or up to 45% in just 5 minutes. That is super fast and so, the company may have played safe by not using the technology on the Reno since it is not suited for big batteries. We expect the VOOC 3.0 to offer a fast charging performance that is almost on par with SuperVOOC, though.
