Oppo and Vivo smartphones could support bypass charging

Here’s the thing: gaming naturally heats up your phone’s processor. Add charging on top of that, and you’ve got a perfect storm of heat. Over time, this heat cooks your battery’s health and shortens its lifespan. Bypass charging skips the battery entirely, which helps your phone stay cooler under pressure.

Now, rumor has it the Oppo Find X8 Ultra and Vivo X200 Ultra could be getting bypass charging support. Don’t get too excited yet as it’s not official. The tip comes from @nakajimegame on X (formerly Twitter), and it’s based on a machine-translated post from Japanese. So, take it with the usual grain of salt.

The post claims both the Find X8 Ultra and X200 Ultra will feature bypass charging, something already seen in their sub-brand phones. Also, they threw some shade at Xiaomi, wondering when they’ll catch up.

If you’re wondering why Oppo and Vivo are mentioned together, it’s because they share the same parent company: BBK Electronics. Both brands are gunning for flagship status with their upcoming models. Early leaks point to top-tier specs all around.

The good news? If these rumors check out, bypass charging smartphones could be a game-changer for mobile gamers. Less heat, longer battery life, and no interruptions. Fingers crossed.
