The OPPO vice president has commented that by 2023 they will stop including the charger in some of their terminals, but he has not specified which ones.
The trend of removing the charger from smartphones is on the rise and more and more manufacturers are joining it. The last time we saw it was very recently, with the launch of the Nothing Phone (1), which surprised the public since the company claimed not to follow currents to make its decisions. The next one will be OPPO and, although they have not commented on which terminals are going to go without a charger, it is expected that it will be the low and medium ranges.
You have to remember that OPPO has a proprietary charging technology, VOOC, and that offers very high speeds but you must have a charger enabled for it. These chargers are from OPPO and are the ones that the manufacturer intends not to include to add them to the store so that users buy and choose the one that best suits their smartphone model.
This is something to keep in mind as the recently released OPPO Reno 8 supports 80W charging via SuperVOOC, but only 18W via USB PD, which is the standard used with common chargers. So without VOOC chargers they will be limited to the 18W they support via USB PD.

At the age of 15 I started overclocking my PC to squeeze out every extra FPS I could in games and scratch a few milliseconds in SuperPi, while posting tirelessly about hardware on the Geeknetic forum as a user and reader. Surely they were so tired of continually reading me in the forum that I became part of the editorial team, in which I continue to report on the latest technology. Astrophysics and PC gaming are the hobbies that, after hardware, cover most of my free time.
