Why Does My OPPO Phone Heat Up During Wireless Charging
Wireless charging is a convenient and efficient way to power up your OPPO device. However, users may experience heating issues while charging wirelessly. This article explores the reasons behind heating when using a wireless charging dock and provides practical solutions to optimize charging efficiency and minimize heat generation.
Why Does Wireless Charging Cause Heating
Wireless charging operates on electromagnetic induction, which naturally generates heat. Since wireless charging has a higher impedance compared to wired charging, it tends to produce more heat. Below are some common reasons why your OPPO phone may heat up during wireless charging:
Normal Heating Due to Charging Mechanism
Wireless charging slightly raises the temperature of your device due to energy loss during power transmission.
Temperature levels typically peak at around 80% battery charge, after which the phone cools down.
OPPO devices are designed with built-in safety measures to prevent overheating, ensuring safe usage.
Non-Standard Wireless Charging Bases
Using non-standard wireless chargers may cause excessive heating due to differences in charging protocols and design.
OPPO recommends using its official wireless charging base, which is designed with an air-cooling system to effectively reduce heat while improving charging speed.
Charging While Using the Device
Playing games, watching videos, or using heavy applications while wirelessly charging generates additional heat.
It is recommended to keep the phone idle during charging to avoid unnecessary heating.
How to Reduce Heating During Wireless Charging
1. Ensure Proper Placement on the Charging Dock:
Center your phone perfectly on the charging pad for maximum efficiency and minimal heat buildup.
2. Use an OPPO Standard Wireless Charger:
OPPO’s official wireless chargers have an advanced air-cooling system that improves heat dissipation.
Non-standard chargers may cause excessive heating due to compatibility issues.
3. Adjust Wireless Charging Settings for Lower Heat Generation:
The default silent mode setting in wireless charging adjusts charging power based on user habits.
To reduce heat, navigate to the "settings" and enable “Always On” charging mode for stable performance.
4. Remove Protective Cases During Charging:
Phone cases, especially thick or metal-backed ones, trap heat and reduce charging efficiency.
Remove the protective case while charging and reattach it afterward.
5. Keep the Charging Environment Cool:
Avoid charging in hot environments (e.g., under direct sunlight, on a bed, or near a heater).
Ensure that air vents on the wireless charger are not blocked to allow proper airflow.
6. Avoid Placing Metal Objects Between the Phone and Charger:
Objects like ring holders, magnetic cards, or metallic stickers can interfere with charging and cause overheating.
Make sure your phone and charger have a clear, unobstructed connection.
Note: Heating during wireless charging is a normal phenomenon, but excessive heat can be managed by following the tips above. Always use an OPPO-certified wireless charger, ensure a proper charging environment, and avoid using the phone while charging to improve efficiency and reduce heat generation. If overheating persists, consider contacting OPPO Support for further assistance.
