65W software and charging make the difference

In this first half of the year the issue of autonomy in the smartphone field is becoming central. Until 2019 most of the top of the range used 60 Hz screens, which offer the best balance between fluidity and consumption. High-end phones released in 2020 instead almost all target 90 or 120 Hz displays, which offer faster execution and a more satisfying visual experience, while paying a pledge in terms of energy absorption.
Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra (here our review) is the perfect example to show how optimization is essential to avoid excessive consumption at 120 Hz: in fact, the top of the range Samsung, in front of a 5000 mAh battery, offers a autonomy that allows an intense day of use, but little more. Oppo Find X2 Pro, which we have recently reviewed, has chosen an alternative route compared to others, focusing on good autonomy with 120 Hz and on a simply incredible quick charge, able to make a difference during use.

How is the battery of Oppo Find X2 Pro doing?

Oppo Find X2 Pro hosts inside a 4260 mAh battery, divided into two identical cells to optimize the charging speed. The autonomy of this smartphone allows you to arrive safely in the evening on the most demanding days, with a more moderate use, however, you can also do a day and a half of use, all without disabling the 120 Hz.
But how did Oppo manage to achieve greater autonomy than that of a smartphone with a 5000 mAh battery? The secret is in software optimization, with the ColorOS 7.1 which manages well to limit consumption through aggressive energy management, both with the phone in stand-by and during use. For example, Oppo oSense technology gives priority to processes directly related to the use of the phone rather than to those in the background, allocating resources to the most important ones. Very important are then refresh rate and dynamic resolution, fundamental to limit the consumption of a display like the one mounted on the Find X2 Pro.

Oppo has not clarified how the algorithms underlying these technologies work but the approach, in other similar solutions, has so far always been the same. In the presence of content where the quality of vision must be pushed to the maximum, we think, for example, of gaming, resolution and refresh rate are used to the best of their potential.
Even during web browsing or in the system menus, the refresh rate remains constant at 120 Hz, to ensure maximum fluidity of use. The situation is different when looking at static images, or simply when you open the camera application: in these cases 120 Hz is not needed and here is the algorithm set up, which lowers it to 60 Hz.

Even while watching a film, 120 Hz are useless, but Oppo has thought of an original solution to be able to exploit them anyway, thanks to the 01 Ultra Vision Engine image processor. This applies motion compensation algorithms similar to those of televisions, which through frame interpolation, possible thanks to 120 Hz, makes the images more fluid. The system, in the case of videos, can therefore work at the maximum refresh rate, if you want a smoother image, or it can lower it if the image processor is deactivated, thus saving battery.

Achieving the right balance between refresh rate, resolution and battery life is a complex task with many variables, but Oppo has managed to balance the Find X2 Pro's energy expenditure well through the software, especially considering that other energy saving options are also available.
For example, during the night, the intelligent stand-by limits the consumption by decreasing the updating of the applications in the background, useless while sleeping. Performance is also limited so as not to affect the battery too much, obviously only when more brute force is not required to complete a task.
There is also a "Energy saving"which once activated decreases the maximum brightness of the screen, limits access to the resources of the applications in the background and deactivates the vibration to consume as little energy as possible. And where all this does not arrive, this is where VooC 2.0 fast charging comes into play.

Recharge at 65W: a godsend

Current technology seems to have reached its limit. The lithium-ion batteries that are mounted today on smartphones are getting bigger, but their operation has not changed compared to the past. Through the improvement of the production processes it has been possible to produce batteries of low weight and thickness, but it will be difficult to go further. The Find X2 Pro weighs in fact 207 grams, S20 Ultra with its 5000 mAh battery touches 220 grams, difficult to go beyond a weight of this type, at least for products like these that are not battery phones. The only alternative to allow continued use of the phone for a long period is therefore fast charging, which in the case of Find X2 Pro it is called VooC 2.0.

This is able to recharge the phone, with the charger supplied, up to 10v, 6.5A and 65 W, which in practice translates into approximately 38 minutes to go from 0 to 100%.

To avoid problems during charging there is a monitoring chip, which monitors not only the passage of energy from the power supply to the phone, but also the state of the battery and its level of wear. Charging at 65 W is very useful during daily use because it takes just a few minutes to obtain several hours of extra autonomy. Especially on the go, although travel is limited today, fast charging is essential because often you only have access to electricity for short periods. A commuter in just under 40 minutes could fully charge the smartphone, an advantage not a little and that, for many, could exceed that of having greater autonomy at the expense of the charging speed.
