Based around OPPO\u2019s pioneering VOOC flash charging, it sees visionary organizations license the OPPO technology to help bring faster charging to every area of consumers\u2019 lives.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These new partners include FAW-Volkswagen, Anker and NXP Semiconductors \u2014leaders in their respective fields of automobiles, portable charging, and chip manufacture. Between them, their products reach consumers in three settings where they often need to charge their devices: their homes, their cars and out in public spaces. Each partner will work with proprietary technical designs developed by OPPO, which has applied for more than 2,950 flash charging patents worldwide, with over 1,400 already granted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Flash Initiative was born from OPPO\u2019s commitment to make consumers\u2019 lives as easy as possible, as it takes its groundbreaking IP beyond consumer\u2019s phone chargers at home, expanding to cars, public spaces and chips inside a wide variety of technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">VOOC flash charging can be seen in action at Mobile World Congress, Shanghai (MWCS), at booth number N2-E40.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Speaking at MWCS today, Adler Feng, Senior Director of Intellectual Property at OPPO said:\u00a0\u201cThe Flash Initiative reflects OPPO\u2019s belief in human-centric technologies that make a difference in people\u2019s everyday lives. And thanks to our new partners, our proprietary technologies can reach more people than ever before. This is a vital step in freeing consumers to use their devices however they want, no matter what they need to do or where in the world they are.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cynthia Tan, Brand Director at Anker Innovations China said: \u201cOur users have always been the top priority at Anker, and this perfectly matches OPPO\u2019s human-centric philosophy. From day one, we wanted to use our innovations to bring the best charging technology we could to as many people as possible. By working with OPPO, we\u2019re looking forward to giving our customers new flash charging experiences.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Will Wang, Head of Smart Power &amp; IoT Solutions, APAC, at NXP Semiconductors said: \u201cWe\u2019re working to build a smarter world, and faster charging is a crucial part of this. If we\u2019re going to improve people\u2019s lives through technology, then we need to make their daily experiences easier and more convenient\u2014and OPPO\u2019s VOOC flash charging technology does exactly that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Technology certification laboratory CTTL (China Telecommunication Technology Laboratory) will test and certify any partner products made with VOOC flash charging technology. As one of China\u2019s largest tech certification labs, CTTL has led the way in setting safety standards for fast charging technology, and has already granted OPPO a five-star rating for its VOOC Flash Charging. OPPO has also worked with CTTL to develop a technical paper that shares valuable information on flash charging technology, especially around device and consumer safety. This will be published shortly after MWC Shanghai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Leading the charge<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">OPPO\u2019s VOOC technology launched in 2014, and the 30+ smartphone models that feature VOOC have so far delivered the ultra-fast charging experience to over 175 million users around the globe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">OPPO\u2019s latest flash charging products are already making fast charging more convenient. The tiny 50W Mini SuperVOOC charger can charge smartphones, tablets and even laptops\u2014and is just 10.05mm thick and 82.2mm long, so it easily fits in your pocket. Meanwhile, the 65W AirVOOC wireless charger can fully power a 4,000mAh phone battery in 30 minutes\u2014and the 125W flash charger can do the same in just 20 minutes. Each product uses low voltage charging, with a dual-cell structure, and multiple charge pumps and temperature sensors to automatically regulate voltage and dissipate heat.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Newest flash charging partners<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The combined goal of OPPO\u2019s newest partners is to provide access to fast charging in even more scenarios, and empower consumers with technology that makes their lives easier and richer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Anker, one of the world\u2019s leading consumer electronic brands, creates innovative products from power banks to chargers and vacuum cleaners to headphones. By working with OPPO, Anker will help to bring flash charging to millions more people.&nbsp;<\/li><li>FAW-Volkswagen, the joint venture between FAW Group and Volkswagen Group, will use OPPO\u2019s unique charging IP to incorporate rapid charging into Volkswagen cars made in China, giving automobile drivers and passengers power on the go.<\/li><li>Chip manufacturer NXP Semiconductors brings smart, connected solutions to a range of sectors, from smart cities to industrial, automotive, mobile and the home. Building on a longstanding relationship, NXP will implement several OPPO patents to support VOOC flash charging across its printed circuit board assemblies, meaning that flash charging could be more easily integrated into more automotive applications, public spaces and industrial settings.<\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>These new partners include FAW-Volkswagen, Anker and NXP Semiconductors \u2014leaders in their respective fields of automobiles, portable charging, and chip manufacture.
