For as all-encompassing as the competition between flagship smartphones has become, there’s one area that Samsung, Apple, and others seem content to ignore — charging. In the states, SuperVOOC technology (used by OPPO, OnePlus, Realme, and other BBK-affiliated brands) has often been the only contender if you wanted truly fast wireless charging. But even then, only a handful of compatible phones were available to officially buy in the US, and you had to contend with some strange decisions like the use of a USB-A charger, limited support for charging standards for non-VOOC devices, and a lack of wireless charging options. Now, there’s a new (but very familiar) challenger on the scene — none other than Motorola with its TurboPower charging, and all I can say is it’s about time.
