OPPO might not be discussed as often here as it used to during its Find 5 days, but the brand has sure tried hard to push the edge. One development that impressed us all was OPPO’s VOOC fast charging, which has undergone some serious updates in the recent past.
News is that OnePlus’ upcoming phone, the OnePlus 3 could feature VOOC. That the people behind OnePlus and OPPO have a friendly relationship is no secret, so it might well happen the OPPO lend their VOOC tech to the young brand to use on their shiny new phone.
Gizchina News of the week
Honestly, OnePlus could do with something like that. The OnePlus 2 lacked fast charging, and that made the company the subject for a lot of controversy. That said, it most certainly won’t be Super VOOC that OPPO showed off at the MWC this year.
Other things that the OnePlus 3 will have – Snapdragon 820 SoC, 4-6GB RAM, a 16 mega-pixel rear camera, and more.
What do you think about VOOC?
I guess they learned the lesson from that moronic choice to put no fast charging into the OP2.
So far I’m liking the what’s coming out about this OP3, I’ll keep an eye on it with interest
Might get OP3 depending how attractive the design is, I dislike the camera setup on OP2
as in what? the sensor they used, the brand sensor ominivion,sony etc or the pixel count for the front and back,aperature?
I am liking it too but I need to see 2 things from OP3 before I would consider buying it: better design and no more invite system.
I didn’t mind their previous design.
I hate their invite system too, but what alternatives do we have?
We’ll buy from resellers anyway…
If they make their invite system less tight then we might get a chance to get the phone at “Chinese” price without jumping through the hoop.
Let’s see what happens.
I just don’t like the negative stigma from the invite system. Every company does something similar be it flash sales or limited inventory sales. But the invite system wreaks of entitlement.
As for the design I don’t mind the design itself and I usually actually love OPPO designs, but I hated how big and bulky the 2 was. If they can get the 3 to under 9mm thick and less than 160 grams I would be very interested.
Like I’ve said last year, the OP2 was designed by a group of monkeys who charged just a few compared to human designers, I hope this time OPO has gone to the human option.
Ps: Sorry, but I really hated the OP2 design ‘changes’
No worries you and me both. I borrowed a friends and used it for 2 weeks, we swapped phones, I liked the software, the camera was pretty good but I just couldn’t get past that design. Felt huge in my hands and it was beyond fugly.
What a surprise…
How is this news twice in as many days?? There’s a terrible visual echo on this site lately as every time I read something I get a feeling of dejavu.
