On the very first day of MWC 2022, OnePlus dropped a bomb with their new 150W SuperVOOC fast charging tech. This new charging solution has been developed by the OPPO Research Institute since OnePlus is a part of the OPPO group. This is similar to the OPPO 150W SuperVOOC solution and the Realme 150W UltraDart charging technology, both of which made their debut today.
OnePlus claims that this new charging solution can charge a 4,500mAh battery to 50 percent in just five minutes. Additionally, the brand is confident that despite the high current, the battery will hold up to 80 percent battery health after 1,600 charge cycles.

At the same event, OnePlus announced that this charging tech will debut on an upcoming smartphone sometime in Q2 of 2022, which is not that far. There is still no official word on the name of this smartphone, whether it will be the Nord series product or the OnePlus 10. From the influx of leaks that have poured in, this unannounced phone will come with a 6.67-inch Full HD+ AMOLED panel with a 120Hz refresh rate. It will be powered by the unreleased MediaTek Dimensity 8100 5G SoC and will get a 50MP main camera, which in all likelihood will be the Sony IMX766 sensor.
OnePlus says the super-fast charging is enabled by a customised twin battery, an industry-leading battery PCB protection board, and a new microcontroller. This new battery technology also boasts of a bionic electrolyte technology that helps the battery cell to self-heal and improve its performance over time. As for the stats, the company claims that its 150W SuperVOOC can charge a 4,500mAh battery to 50 percent in just 5 minutes, with the battery hovering around 80 percent even after 1,600+ charge cycles.
This 1,600+ charge cycle claim is slightly higher than Realme’s claims with similar charging technology. Lastly, the company mentioned that the 150W SuperVOOC supports fast charging for tablets, laptops, and mobile gaming consoles. The brand is rumoured to be working on an Android tablet as well.
