When Oppo first unveiled 125-watt fast charging tech in 2020, it said that a phone with 4,000mAh of battery could be charged to full within 20 minutes. The company also said that when you didn’t have time to top up to 100%, the tech would allow you to plug in your phone for five minutes and charge it to 41%. This sounded too good to be true, but according to a new leak, all of this could soon be a reality on high-end devices coming out next year.
According to tipster Mukul Sharma (via Twitter), the Realme GT 2 Pro, Oppo Find X4 series, OnePlus 10 Pro, Oppo N series phone, and the Reno 8 Pro will feature 125W fast charging support. All of these devices are likely to be powered by the next-gen Qualcomm flagship system on a chip — the Snapdragon 898, which is all set to be unveiled in the coming weeks.

The alleged OnePlus 10 Pro renders have also leaked online. They suggest a Galaxy S21 Ultra-like camera bump that seems to extend from the phone’s metal frame. The Realme GT 2 Pro’s specifications have also been tipped with it featuring a 6.51-inch S-AMOLED display with support for a high refresh rate and a punch-hole camera. It could have 8GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage, while the cameras might include a 108MP primary sensor.
Meanwhile, Realme has already announced support for 125W fast charging on its ultra-premium flagship, while more high-end devices from BBK electronics could have support for the same.
All of the aforementioned devices are likely to be launched in the first half of 2022, and we’re sure to see more leaks about them soon.

Google Play is borrowing one of the Nintendo Switch’s most useful little tricks. A new Sidekick tool called Playbacks captures a short clip after something interesting has already happened, sparing players from running a screen recorder throughout an entire game.
Playbacks is part of Google Play Store v53.8 and keeps saved clips on the phone. Google first announced it earlier this month, but the new Play Store update marks its arrival for players. Anyone who has watched a perfect win vanish because the record button came too late already understands the appeal.
Samsung’s scandal over its Game Optimizing Service, or GOS, has returned with a bill attached. South Korea’s Fair Trade Commission has tentatively fined the company 20.1 billion won, or about $15.1 million, over gaming claims made for the Galaxy S21, Galaxy S22, and Tab S8.
The regulator says Samsung promoted the devices as gaming powerhouses without disclosing that GOS placed preset CPU and GPU limits on certain demanding games. Samsung disputes that conclusion, calling GOS a legitimate way to manage heat.
