With no new phones to show off at Mobile World Congress this year, Oppo focused on two new technologies that could make using its upcoming phones much easier.

The first, called SuperVOOC, is a fast battery charging technology that gets your phone from 0 to 100 percent charge in a mere 15 minutes, Oppo claims. The second, called SmartSensor, builds image stabilisation into the camera sensor, instead of the usual lens-based method.

These innovations will likely come as no surprise for fans of the Chinese electronics maker. The company has a reputation for delivering cool features in its products. Oppo's smartphones, such as the Oppo N1 and N3 with their rotating cameras, have always offered consumers something different.

Oppo says its new technologies will be featured on its upcoming phone, though no other details have yet been disclosed.
