The Reno3 Pro is ready to give the Redmi K30 5G a run for its money. Details about the features of the upcoming phone, which will launch on December 26, have been pouring in for weeks now. The latest is about the fast-charge technology that will be bundled with the device.

OPPO’s Vice President, Shen Yiren, took to Weibo to reveal that the Reno3 Pro will have an enhanced version of VOOC 4.0. He said the phone will be able to charge from 0 to 50% in just 20 minutes while a full charge will take 56 minutes.

That is much faster than the original VOOC 4.0 which takes 30 minutes to charge a 4000mAh battery from 0 to 67% and 73 minutes to charge it to 100%.

Based on the figures, it appears OPPO has reduced the trickle charge duration or increased the duration of the rapid charge. This way, the phone takes a shorter time to get full.

The Reno3 Pro has been confirmed to have a 4025mAh battery squeezed into a 7.7 millimeters thin body. The battery capacity is smaller than the Redmi K30 5G’s 4500mAh battery but nevertheless, it is good news that the phone is getting an improved fast charge technology.

The Reno3 Pro will come with a Snapdragon 765G processor, 48MP quad-rear cameras, a 6.5-inch OLED display with an in-display fingerprint scanner and a punch hole for a 32MP selfie camera, 8GB of RAM, 128GB of storage, and run Android 10 out of the box.

Alongside SuperVOOC 2.0 (65W) and 30W Wireless VOOC Flash Charge, OPPO also announced VOOC 4.0 Flash Charge Technology; a successor to VOOC 3.0.

VOOC 4.0 will also bring 30W charging to devices but via wired charging. It surpasses Xiaomi’s 27W Mi Turbo Wired Charging. OPPO says the new technology is the Flash Charge solution for all.

The new charging solution will allow users to charge a 4000mAh battery to 67% in 30 minutes and to 100% in 73 minutes – a 12% increase in speed compared to the previous generation. OPPO adds that the optimized VFC algorithm helps reduce the charging time required for the last 10%. The charging technology also features reduced internal resistance and reduced heat generation thanks to an efficient adapter and an advanced battery design. With VOOC 4.0, the temperature is controlled even when playing a game and charging at the same time.

VOOC 4.0 is also backward compatible with all Flash Charge technologies up to VOOC 3.0, so you are fine using a VOOC 4.0 charger for your older devices.

OPPO also revealed that the new technology will appear first in the upcoming OPPO K5, a successor to the OPPO K3. This is the first time we are hearing of the device. So other than the new charging technology, we practically know nothing else about it. We expect more details will surface soon.

VOOC technology was first launched in 2014 and now OPPO has filed over 1700 patents related to the technology. It is now used in over 30 devices and serves more than 145 million users. OPPO has also licensed the technology to other companies.
