A report claims that the Oppo R17 Pro competed against 59 other smartphones and charged the 3700mAh battery to 92% with company’s SuperVOOC flash charging technology.
Bundling a fast charger and/or fast charging technology is one of the stand-out features that smartphone manufacturers are offering to people who are always on the move. Carrying a power bank is slowly becoming obsolete because people now have a technology with which they can charge their phones enough to get going. But if you have the Oppo R17, you may feel that you are ahead of the curve because a test has showed that Oppo’s SuperVOOC 50W fast charging tech can charge the Oppo R17 Pro to 92 percent in just 30 minutes, making it the fastest charging phone in the market.
According to a report in Gizmochina, the Oppo R17 Pro was pitted against 59 other smartphones and came out on top beating the second best by nine percentage points. The second runner-up is the Honor Magic 2 with 83 percent of battery charge in the same time. The Honor Magic 2 is equipped with a 3500 mAh battery with 40W of fast charging. The Meizu Pro 7 Plus and the Oppo R11 stood at the third and fourth positions respectively, with 66 percent charge.
Generally, most of the fast charging is done in the first half an hour, and then the charging speed dips. Oppo’s sister companies Vivo (VOOC) and OnePlus (Dash Charging) couldn’t grab any of the first five spots but one phone from each made it to the top 10 list. While, Vivo’s X21 that ships with a 3200mAh battery, listed on the sixth spot. The OnePlus 5T with a 3300mAh battery pack grabbed the 8th place in the list. The Mi Mix 3 is the only device from Xiaomi which managed to gain the 15th spot with 56 percent charge. Overall, the list shows that Chinese manufacturers are way ahead of other OEMs in providing fast charging solutions.
