Battery degradation over time is one of the main things people fear when it comes to smartphones these days, and Oppo is said to have a solution to alleviate such fears in the future. According to the usually reliable Digital Chat Station on Weibo, and confirmed by another tipster on the same platform, Oppo is preparing to launch a free battery replacement program.
There are, of course, caveats to this move. For starters, the program will only be available in China and only for the upcoming Oppo A2 Pro, which is expected to go official on September 15, which is this Friday.

You will then receive a free battery replacement for the A2 Pro within four years of purchase, but only if the battery health percentage drops below 80% during that period. We also assume (although the tipsters have not specifically mentioned this) that this will only be feasible once per device.
So, to look at things another way, basically Oppo is so confident in its battery technology that it’s willing to guarantee (in this way) that the A2 Pro’s cell won’t reach 80% health in four years, On the contrary. be taller once the time has passed.
It’s certainly an interesting way to cause a stir, and it’s not the first time Oppo has talked about its battery health protection features, but we’re willing to bet that a lot more people will listen when things are presented this way.
It’s unclear at the moment whether the company plans to offer a similar warranty for all of its phones, and if so, whether it will only apply to those sold in the Chinese market or whether it will expand the program internationally. We don’t see why it wouldn’t, however, as it would be a pretty effective way to get on people’s radars.
Now, having said all this, remember that these are just rumors at the moment. Let’s wait until Friday and see if it turns into reality.
