Summary:According to a new rumor, it looks like the Oppo Find X8 Ultra and Vivo X200 Ultra will come with bypass charging. This is still a rumor, as we’re still waiting for confirmation.
You’re hit with the “Low battery” warning while you’re in the middle of a gaming session. Do you set your phone down to charge, or do you play while it’s charging? Most people refuse to do the second option because it causes their phones to turn into high-tech hot plates. This is why people appreciate it when companies bring bypass charging to their phones.
Bypass charging is an extremely useful tool for maintaining your battery health. When you plug your phone in, your system won’t push the electrical current to your battery. Rather, the phone will use the current to power itself. So, if you’re in an intense gaming session, you’ll be able to game for as long as you want without the battery suffering.
Intense phone usage causes the processor to heat up. That heat radiates throughout the phone and eventually heats up the battery. Well, charging your battery also heats it up. This intense heat can cause the battery to degrade at a faster rate.
The Oppo Find X8 Ultra and X200 Ultra could come with bypass charging
You’ll want to take this news with a grain of salt. We’re still dealing with a rumor. Anything could change between now and the phones’ official launch. @nakajimegamemade a post on X, which was machine translated from Japanese.
“Both the Find X8 Ultra and the X200 Ultra will feature bypass charging, which was implemented earlier in the sub-brand.
When will Xiaomi follow suit?”
The “X200 Ultra” in the post refers to the upcoming flagship from Vivo. In case you don’t know, both Oppo and Vivo are owned by the same company, BBK Electronics. This is why they’re being roped together.
These two phones are to be some of the most powerful smartphones on the market. Both phones will come with top-of-the-line specs. The only issue is that these phones won’t see a release outside of China. What makes this worse is that importing these devices is about to get much more expensive thanks to the tariffs.
