One space the place the Samsung Galaxy S23 collection doesn’t overly impress is charging speeds, topping out at both 25W or 45W relying on the mannequin, nevertheless it appears to be like just like the upcoming Oppo Discover X6 collection could have Samsung’s telephones dramatically beat.

Certification listings noticed by GSMArena (opens in new tab) for 2 upcoming Oppo telephones have appeared on China’s 3C database (which telephones sometimes seem on earlier than launching within the nation), and one in all these telephones is listed as supporting 100W charging, with the opposite not far behind, at 80W.

The telephones aren’t listed by identify, as an alternative we see that the 100W one has the mannequin quantity PGEM10 and the 80W one has the mannequin quantity PGFM10. However given the charging speeds these are presumably Oppo’s upcoming flagships, with the 80W one more likely to be the usual Oppo Discover X6 and the 100W one more likely to be the Oppo Discover X6 Professional.

Certainly, leaker Digital Chat Station dug up the identical itemizing on Weibo (opens in new tab) and refers to those because the Oppo Discover X6 collection, and we’ve beforehand heard that the Oppo Discover X6 Professional would possibly cost at 100W. So it’s very seemingly that these listings are for these telephones, and the data discovered on 3C is sort of all the time correct, because it’s an official database.

If that is correct, then the Oppo Discover X6 Professional could have 20W extra charging energy than the 80W Oppo Discover X5 Professional. The usual Oppo Discover X6 although will see no change, because the Oppo Discover X5 additionally prices at 80W.

For what it’s value, earlier leaks from each Digital Chat Station and Yogesh Brar (opens in new tab) – each of whom have a strong document – counsel that the battery capacities gained’t be altering this 12 months, with the Oppo Discover X6 having a 4,800mAh battery and the Oppo Discover X6 Professional having a 5,000mAh cell, similar to their respective predecessors.

The battery capacities aren’t listed on 3C although, in order that facet is only a rumor for now. Nonetheless, we must always know the reality quickly, as primarily based on previous type, the Oppo Discover X6 collection will seemingly be introduced in both late February or March.

Evaluation: 100W is quick, however Oppo might go even sooner

100W is a complete lot of charging energy, significantly when you think about that the likes of the iPhone 14 line and the Pixel 7 collection can’t even handle a 3rd of that.

However some telephones attain even better speeds, with the Xiaomi 12 Professional managing 120W, the OnePlus 10T managing 150W, and the Redmi Observe 12 Explorer Version (which isn’t globally accessible) supporting 210W charging.

Not solely that, however Oppo itself has unveiled a lot sooner charging tech than it appears to be like like we’ll see within the Discover X6 collection, together with a 240W charging system, which the corporate claims can energy a 4,500mAh battery from zero to 100% in simply 9 minutes.

Arguably nobody actually wants a cellphone that prices fairly that quick, however 240W charging would certain assist the Oppo Discover X6 Professional stand out, and maybe rank increased among the many finest telephones.
