Oppo Teases a 125W Fast Charging Tech – Coming in Two Days

Imagine having your phone charged from 0 - 100% within 15 minutes or less. Seems impossible doesn't it? Well, probably not. Oppo has been working on a tech that breaks the norm and surpasses the regular level of fast charging support we're currently used to. This is not the first time Oppo would be leaving the world in awe as regards its fast charging tech capabilities, as it has been introducing fast charging technologies for years - tech high enough and durable enough to function without causing harm to your device. At the moment phones come with fast charging tech with ratings ranging from 15W, 25W, 30W, 45W and so on, and with Oppo's 65W which is currently the highest in the tech industry. But as we have it, Oppo via twitter teased the announcement of the next level of its fast charging tech, rating at 125W - and it is to debut on the 15th of July to be precise.Tips point to the fact that the technology can charge a smartphone with a 4,000mAh battery in roughly 10 minutes. However, this high-speed technology could result in reduced battery lifespan. Last year, Oppo unveiled OPPO Reno Ace with the 65W fast charging support feature, but as of now, it is unclear if Oppo will be announcing its 125W tech alongside a smartphone.

Thanks to previous leaks, we already know what shape the next iteration of the Galaxy Buds will come in. But today, a new set of renders shared by Evan Blass (American blogger and phone leaker) have revealed 3 interesting coloured charging cases of the bean-shaped Galaxy Buds Live TWS Earphones. The leaked renders show the earphones in Mystic Bronze color with a glossy exterior. The compact design of the earbuds which will supposedly measure in 2.8cm will fit in easily and comfortably in user's ears without poking out much. However, based on previous leaks, the earbuds won't come with silicon tips which could affect sound isolation. The earbuds will have two microphone holes along with a grille opening, two LED charging indicators - one can be found inside the slots for the two Buds and the other is on the outside on the front - and a rubber strip lid. Samsung TWS Buds are expected to come with Active Noise Cancellation, so these could be for enabling an Ambient Sound mode.

Group video calls have also been improved to allow you to maximize (enlarge) the feed of any participant during a group call. Apart from that, a new icon will be added to group chats with up to 8 participants, so with a click on this icon, you will be able to start a video call directly with all 8 participants at once instead of having them dialed individually, since that is the maximum limit of participants for a group video call anyway.
