The mission of OPPO’s K series has always been to create excellent smartphones for 500 million users. In the mid-range smartphone market, the trade-off between a large battery and high-power charging has been a persistent issue, causing users to suffer from poor battery life. The upcoming OPPO K12 will feature the “golden combination” of a long-lasting 100W Super Flash Charge and a 5500mAh large-capacity battery, allowing more users to enjoy flagship-level fast charging and extended battery life simultaneously. Liu Bo, President of OPPO China, stated, “Ten years ago, OPPO pioneered the era of fast charging, and now the OPPO K12 will usher in the era of widespread adoption of ‘100W Super Flash Charge’ and ‘Ultra-long Battery Life’. Furthermore, the OPPO K12 will be the best-performing smartphone in terms of battery life.”

During the event, it was officially announced that OPPO introduced the first-generation VOOC Flash Charge on the Find 7 in 2014. Over the past decade, from the 22.5W VOOC Flash Charge to the mass-produced 240W SUPERVOOC Ultra Flash Charge today, OPPO has never stopped its research and development of fast charging technology. What was once enjoyed by only a few high-end flagship users is now experienced by over 300 million people every day. Zhang Jialiang said, “OPPO’s fast charging has changed users’ usage habits, alleviated charging anxiety for countless people, and accelerated the popularization of fast charging in the industry. In ten years, OPPO has turned fast charging into a standard.”

Zhang Jialiang mentioned that in the future, fast charging technology will continue to advance in materials, systems, and software, but for users, the marginal benefits of charging efficiency have begun to gradually diminish. Users not only expect fast charging but also desire longer-lasting battery life.

At the same time, Zhang Jialiang stated that the upcoming OPPO K12 will be OPPO’s best-performing smartphone in terms of battery life. Equipped with the long-lasting 100W Super Flash Charge and a 5500mAh ultra-large battery, it can provide 10 hours of talk time with just 5 minutes of charging. According to DOU endurance tests, it boasts an endurance time of up to 1.88 days, a gaming time of up to 8.76 hours, and supports an ultra-long standby time of up to 17.28 days.
