On April 22nd, OPPO held a media communication conference with the theme of "In the matter of charging, we have changed the world a little", Zhang Jialiang, the person in charge of the OPPO flash charging project, reviewed the ten years of OPPO to create and lead the development of flash charging, and discussed the trends and challenges in the next ten years.
In the past ten years, OPPO flash charging has developed from the original "5 minutes of charging, 2 hours of talking" to today's "5 minutes of charging, 10 hours of talking". The new OPPO K12 released by OPPO today will be equipped with a long-life version of 100W super flash charging and a large 5500mAh battery, opening the era of "100-watt flash charging" + "ultra-long battery life".
Ten years ago, the performance of mobile games, the improvement of photo performance and the growing demand of users for social media have brought a lot of challenges to the overall battery life of mobile phones; in order to meet the growing battery life needs of mobile phone users, the common practice in the industry is to make the battery bigger, and OPPO chose a more difficult but more beautiful road, after 50 plans and day and night tackling, OPPO VOOC flash was finally born.
In 2014, OPPO took the lead in releasing the first generation of VOOC flash charging on the Find 7, leading the industry into the era of fast charging. The classic advertising slogan "5 minutes of charging, 2 hours of talking" can be said to make OPPO synonymous with fast charging.
Ten years have passed, from the 22.5W VOOC flash charge to the current mass production of 240W SUPERVOOC super flash charge, OPPO has not stopped the pace of flash charge research and development.
OPPO flash charging has changed users' habits, cured countless people's charging anxiety, and accelerated the popularization of fast charging in the industry. In the past, fast charging was a function only available on a few high-end flagship mobile phones, but now OPPO has made it a standard configuration of mobile phones, and fast charging has become a standard charge.
OPPO has been committed to the research and development of fast charging technology, and so far the number of fast charging patents has exceeded 3,700, ranking first in the world. In the global mobile phone industry, almost every 2 valid authorized patents related to fast charging are related to OPPO.
However, in the early days of OPPO's involvement in the field of fast charging, the industrial chain was blank at that time, and OPPO chose to work together with industry chain partners to tackle tough problems, and many "small manufacturers" have now grown into "giants" in the industry. OPPO also adheres to open licensing and cooperation to the outside world, and has opened flash charging patent authorization to more than 40+ ecological partners or brands, expanding charger technology to on-board charging and other aspects, accelerating the development of the fast charging industry.
In addition to the VOOC protocol, OPPO is also deeply involved in the development of fast charging protocols such as PPS programmable power supply, UFCS fusion fast charging and other fast charging protocols, making positive contributions to the fast charging industry.
When it comes to the future development of charging technology, Zhang Jialiang said that in the future, flash charging technology still needs to achieve breakthroughs in material technology, bottleneck units in the system, and technological advancement in software.
From 5W to 240W or even higher, the industry's fast charging is constantly "volume digital size", OPPO believes that the wattage of charging is only the foundation, and OPPO is more concerned about the user's charging experience. In terms of security, OPPO flash charging has intelligent full-end five-level protection to achieve a safe, fast and reliable charging experience, while OPPO flash charging also has industry-leading charging efficiency, discharge efficiency and full-link charging management.
Nowadays, the charging marginal benefit of mobile phone fast charging has begun to gradually decrease, and battery life has become a new anxiety point for users. In the past ten years, OPPO has cured countless people's charging anxiety, and from today, OPPO will gradually solve users' battery life anxiety.
From "5 minutes of charging, 2 hours of talking" ten years ago, to now OPPO has achieved 5 minutes of charging and 10 hours of talking, and the newly released OPPO K12 will open the era of "100-watt flash charging" + "ultra-long battery life".
Zhang Jialiang also said that OPPO K12 is the work of OPPO flash charging for ten years, with a long-life version of 100W super flash charging and a 5500mAh large battery, which can be charged to 100% in 27 minutes. The DOU battery life test is up to 1.88 days, it can make 43.47 hours of phone calls, play 8.76 hours of games, and support up to 17.28 days of ultra-long standby time.
Looking back on the ten years of OPPO flash charging, OPPO launched VOOC flash charging when the industry generally "rolls up the battery capacity", which solves the user's charging anxiety problem, from the original 22.5W "charging for 5 minutes and talking for two hours" to the current 240W "charging for 5 minutes and talking for 10 hours". OPPO K12 will popularize "100-watt flash charging" + "ultra-long battery life" at the same time, solving users' battery life anxiety, allowing users to truly enjoy the flagship-level experience of fast charging and long battery life.
