Fast-charging systems are making huge jumps in speed and Oppo seems to have reached a massive milestone: It claims it can fully charge an empty smartphone battery in a mere 15 minutes.

Oppo says its Super VOOC battery technology can charge a smartphone battery in merely 15 minutes. This time around, the company hails from China and as the title already gave it away, we’re referring to none other than Oppo and its latest SmartSensor image stabilizer.
At Mobile World Congress, Oppo showed off its new SuperVOOC quick-charging technology – if real-world results are as promising as they say, Oppo fans will be able to fully charge some of their devices in 15 minutes, Engadget reports.
The Super VOOC Flash Charge adapter, cable and connector have all received a full redesign using premium and extremely reliable military-grade materials.
“The newly innovated low-voltage pulse-charge system, coupled with Oppo’s customised battery, dynamically regulates the current, ensuring a safe, sustainable charging experience and preventing overheating”.
Oppo also launched its new SmartSensor image stabilisation technology, claiming to be the smallest in the world and the first ever sensor-based image stabiliser. However, the company also stated that the feature won’t work with a competitor’s fast charger and it will revert to regular slow charging “due to the temperature spikes caused by quick charging and screen brightening simultaneously”. Charging using Super VOOC will be different from using some high-voltage solution in that there will be lesser heating involved, according to the company. Apparently Oppo has been rather busy with creating a new sensor-based optical image stabilizer, which was announced earlier today at MWC 2016 in Barcelona under the name of “Oppo SmartSensor”.
Chinese device maker Oppo also introduced a fast charging system called VOOC in 2014. SmartSensor uses a voltage-driven sensor, which reduces electricity consumption to as low as 10 milliwatts. It is also a lot more precise and able to correct vibrations as little as 0.3 μm, which is about a third of the size of a typical mobile sensor pixel.

Batteries in smartphones these days are getting bigger, meaning that they will last you more than a day. It expects to put it into commercial products in the near future.
