nonVOOCs

NonVOOCs refers to charging technologies that are not based on OPPO's proprietary VOOC (Voltage Open Loop Quick Charge) or its successors like SuperVOOC and Warp Charge. VOOC is a fast-charging standard developed by OPPO, known for its high voltage and current delivery to quickly replenish device batteries. Technologies that are not VOOC typically employ different charging protocols, manufacturers, or standards.

Examples of nonVOOC charging technologies include Qualcomm's Quick Charge (QC), USB Power Delivery (USB PD), and MediaTek's Pump Express. Each of these standards utilizes its own set of specifications for voltage and current negotiation between the charger and the device. For instance, USB PD is an industry-wide standard that allows for flexible power delivery across a wider range of devices and chargers, often through USB-C connections. Quick Charge, developed by Qualcomm, is another widely adopted fast-charging technology found in many Android smartphones.

When a device is advertised as supporting fast charging but does not explicitly mention VOOC or its derivatives, it is likely using a nonVOOC technology. This can sometimes lead to confusion for consumers who may not be aware of the various proprietary and open standards available for rapid battery replenishment. Compatibility between chargers and devices is crucial; a VOOC charger will not achieve its maximum speed with a non-VOOC device and vice-versa, unless both share a common underlying standard like USB PD.
