El Oppo Find X is one of the most prominent devices of Oppo in recent years. Among the many innovations it brings to the sector, one of the most overlooked is its SuperVOOC fast charge, which outperforms most of its competitors. How do they do it?
SuperVOOC fast charging: this is how OPPO makes the difference in the high-end range
El Oppo Find X it is a very special device. It is due to its all-screen front panel and its sliding panel that houses all the device's cameras. These design decisions have allowed the brand to attract a lot of attention compared to other high-end competitors, but they are not its only novelties. And it is that the Chinese firm also offers a fast charge much higher than that of its rivals. From the YouTube channel TechAltar They have investigated how it compares to its rivals and how this technology works. You have the results below both in the original video and in text.
How the SuperVOOC charge of the Oppo Find X works
1. Does it really work? Differences with other fast charges
The main advantage of the SuperVOOC charge of the Oppo Find X is that it is capable of charging the device to 100% in less than 35 minutes. Most manufacturers reach that level by exceeding the 1 hour mark, so the advantage is quite clear. But it is truly like that? In the video the mobile is compared with other rivals such as Huawei P20 Pro, iPhone X or Samsung Galaxy Note 9. Results?
The advantage is absolute. This test is with the screen off, but with it on the results are very similar. It can be concluded that the Oppo Find X charges much faster than any of its rivals. SuperVOOC works.
2. How do you manage to be so fast? This is how Oppo does it
In general lines, and this being an explanation roughly, the charging speed is measured like this: Speed (W) = Voltage (V) * Current (A). To increase the speed, simply raise any of the other two parameters. Manufacturers who turn up the voltage run into the problem of adding more heat to the operation. Why? Many cell phone batteries use 5V as the voltage. If they are injected, for example, 9V, it is necessary to reduce it to 5V for everything to work. This operation is what makes your mobile overheat. Other manufacturers turn up the current and eliminate this problem. And what does SuperVOOC do? Upload both parameters at the same time:
The calculation gives a higher speed. Does this mean that the Oppo Find X overheats? No. By using 10V Voltage, they devised the battery with this in mind. Basically, it is divided into two 5V mini-batteries, which makes the distribution problem-free. Then the mobile only resorts to one or the other half as needed. It heats up to the same levels as the rest, but offers more than twice the speed.
3. Do you do something wrong? SuperVOOC setbacks
What setbacks are there then? One of the first is cost: this technology has not been cheap and the price of the smartphone rises. In addition, both the cable and the charger take up more space. The second problem is security. Long-term tests are lacking to see if the technology holds up. SuperVOOC is still VOOC squared, a proven technology. But it is better to be cautious and consider that continuously introducing so much energy so quickly can be a problem.
