OPPO phones will soon be able to fully charge in 15 minutes with Super VOOC tech

-


As device slimness and elegance remains a key focus area for many of today’s industry-leading smartphone manufacturers, the easiest way to improve battery life to a substantial extent is probably keep reducing charging times rather than pointlessly try to increase cell capacity.



In case you filed OPPO’s pre-MWC “world-wowing” teaser under empty marketing propaganda, the fast-rising Chinese OEM is now here to prove you completely wrong, taking the wraps off its new Super VOOC Flash Charge standard in Barcelona.


This is obviously a continuation of the VOOC Flash Charge technology that was initially launched commercially in March 2014 after roughly three years of R&D, and the “Super” part refers to its upgraded ability of fully juicing up a 2,500 mAh-equipped phone in a measly 15 minutes.

Don’t even have that quarter of hour to waste? Fret not, as future OPPO handhelds will be able to support talk times of around two hours after only five minutes spent connected to a power outlet.

In comparison, devices compatible with Qualcomm’s Quick Charge 2.0 tech can merely promise 60 percent capacity after half an hour of charging, and even the new Quick Charge 3.0 standard provides 80 percent life in 35 minutes to a 2,750 mAh battery.

Entirely safe to use and relying on an innovative new low-voltage pulse-charge system, as well as a customized battery, OPPO’s Super VOOC Flash Charge technology will come with redesigned, “premium” and “reliable” accessories, including adapters, cables and connectors, made from strong, military-grade materials. Unfortunately, we don’t have an ETA to share at the moment, but hopefully, the Find 9 shall adopt it before long.

Google is pushing out an updated version of its contacts management app, bringing some of the features available in the web version to the Android app. The v 1.5 update reorganizes the user interface of Google Contacts. Instead of the two tabs – all and favorites – the app now just displays your entire contact list, with a sidebar menu available via the hamburger button on the left. Opening that up reveals a new section for managing duplicate contacts. That’s a feature that was present on the web app of Contacts , but the process was more convoluted on the Android app. You can now also add labels to your contacts, making it easy to organize large contact lists based on groups, for things like family, work, or school. That’s another feature that was present on the web app and it’s now finally making the jump to the Android app, a place where it’s actually more likely to be used. Google Contacts 1.5 is currently rolling out to all users, so it should land on your

LG Display used CES 2018 in Las Vegas to officially unveil its new OLED displays - one of them being a 65-inch 4K flexible screen that can be rolled like a newspaper. The other is an 88” 8K OLED panel that we told you about last week. The flexibility of the 65” OLED display makes it easier to transport or store in the corner. Its small size allows for better space utilization, meaning you can take the TV anytime, anywhere and “enjoy bright, high-resolution content”. LG Display will also showcase its latest upgrades of the IPS technology. The panels now have IPS nano-color, “which expresses rich colors using nanoscale high-color reproduction particles, and IPS technology, which increases the transmittance and reduces the intensity of light reflected on the panel.”, said the company in a press release.
