Oppo’s wireless charging method under development at R&D facilities

Oppo’s wireless charging method under development at R&D facilities

 

Chinese smartphone maker Oppo is working on its own wireless charging method. Last week, during a visit to Oppo’s factory and headquarters in Shenzhen, China, the company revealed its future plan for wireless charging. The Chinese player confirmed that their wireless charging technology is currently under development at the company’s research and development (R&D) facilities.
Although Oppo did not reveal when can we expect the company’s wireless charging technology to be commercially available in the market, it said the availability of its wireless charging in the market depends on users’ demand and the company’s marketing strategy.

Shedding light on technical specifications of wireless charging, Oppo said the maximum voltage to achieve the standard wireless charging speed is 7.5W, which is equivalent to 5V/1A chargers currently available in the market. Although Oppo acknowledged that theoretically, wireless charging can achieve the maximum charging speed of a standard 5V/2A (10W) fast charger, there are some technical problems that need to be addressed like overheating and portability.

Oppo said both VOOC Flash Charge and wireless charging are heading in two different directions and in future, it is planning to enlarge the distance between the two and also give them more power. Addressing difficulties of wireless charging, the company said wireless charging is currently just a future direction for the company. “Currently, we have a lot of technical bottlenecks on it. As you can see, there is no speed or other kinds of advantages,” said Oppo executives.
While wireless charging will likely become commercially available in the future with upcoming Oppo flagship smartphones, it remains to be seen how the company manages to tackle some of the technical difficulties.

With this LPDDR4X advancement, Samsung will be capable of providing high-capacity 4GB, 6GB, and 8GB LPDDR4X packages. These new DRAM memory chips claim to bring up to 10 percent power reduction, 20 percent thickness reduction, while maintaining the same data rate of 4,266 megabits per second (Mb/s). Now that it is being mass produced, Samsung may launch the 8GB LPDDR4X mobile DRAM package in the Galaxy Note 9, when it arrives on August 9 next month, or in the Samsung Galaxy S10 scheduled for next year. Samsung claims that this package has been created by combining four of the 10nm-class 16Gb LPDDR4X DRAM chips. This 8GB LPDDR4X mobile DRAM package can realise a data rate of 34.1GB per s...

Benefits of Coconut oil

Coconut oil attracted a bad reputation years ago because it was sold as a refined and hydrogenated oil. This type of processed oil contains trans-fat and raises our ‘unhealthy’ cholesterol levels while lowering our ‘healthy’ cholesterol. Fortunately, times have changed and we now know that unprocessed raw, organic, extra virgin coconut oil not only helps with healthy cholesterol levels but has an array of other benefits too. Here are the top ten health benefits of coconut oil according to our naturopaths. 1. Immune support: Nearly 50% of the fat in coconut oil is a type of fat that’s rarely found in nature. It’s called lauric acid, which has many health promoting properties. Your body converts this into monolaurin, which has anti-viral, anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties. Because of this, there’s no better time than the present to start taking coconut oil now that winter is on the way. 2. Weight control: Believe it or not, coconut oil can be beneficial in w...
