OPPO launched a 125W charging technology together with a 110W "mini" charger. The 125W charging technology also supports USB-PD at 65W and USB-PPS at 125W and is backward compatible with devices that support the previous SuperVOOC standard for 65W charging.

It doesn't stop there, apart from super fast wired charging, OPPO also introduced fast wireless charging of 65W. Along with the technology, comes the new "conceptual" AirVOOC 65W wireless charging dock from OPPO that will be able to fully recharge a 4000mAh battery in just 30 minutes.

Unfortunately, OPPO has yet to announce which phones will ship with this technology. In fact, the currently fastest charging phone in the world is the Oppo Reno Ace, which has a 4,000 mAh battery which in tests was fully charged in 31 minutes with a 65W charger.

Competitor Vivo announced last year's 120W technology that should be able to charge a 4,000 mAh battery in 13 minutes, but it hasn't shipped on any phones as of now.
