News Synopsis

According to reports, Oppo may stop including chargers in the package for some devices next year. Billy Zhang,  Oppo's President of Overseas Sales and Services, was quoted by Android Police as saying that the company's proprietary chargers will be sold separately. According to reports, the news was conveyed during the Oppo Reno 8 launch event held in Europe earlier this week. The choice made by Oppo is consistent with what Samsung and Apple have said. Both manufacturers have ceased delivering chargers in boxes.

Zhang added at the launch event, "We will take the charger out of the box in the next year for several products. We have a plan". Speaking more about the development, the senior executive added, "It's not that easy for consumers to get access to [SuperVOOC chargers], so we have to keep it in the box. However, as we are expanding our business operations, we are looking to take chargers out of the box and put them in the store so that our users are able to buy the chargers and continue using them even when they upgrade their devices".

Oppo has a significant market share in India, so it's unknown at this time if it has comparable aspirations there. Although the new report does not specifically state why this decision was made, it probably has environmental roots because other businesses have also cited them. Brands might be able to sell their incredibly fast chargers separately.

Oppo is now one of the few smartphone manufacturers to ship a lightning-fast charger with the device. Some OnePlus devices as well as the company's own phones use the SuperVOOC rapid charging technology. As of the right moment, there has been no news from one plus on any similar plans
