For years, fans have had to listen to the same statement from the manufacturer, why OnePlus does not use wireless charging. Wireless charging is too slow for manufacturers. The company has now confirmed that the upcoming OnePlus 8 model will support wireless charging. There is a reason for turning around.

Because OnePlus 8 [Pro] together with the Warp Charge 30 wireless charging station developed by the manufacturer should support wireless charging up to 30 watts. This means that, as OnePlus stated, the new smartphone can be charged from 0 to 50% in 30 minutes. This makes wireless charging as fast as hanging the phone on a wall outlet.

The function of the new charging station also includes an automatic shutdown function. For safety reasons, it has been integrated and detected whether a strange charging current is being generated, so the station will be shut down immediately. In addition, the station may be designed as a stand according to the pictures. Therefore, OnePlus 8 [Pro] can be placed upright on the charging station, which makes it easier to view news and other information.

Charging station is not cheap

However, no official price is mentioned. Until the release of OnePlus 8 [Pro], Chinese manufacturers have remained silent. However, the rumors factory has thrown some numbers here. According to the leaker TechDroider on TwitterThe new Warp Charge 30 Wireless will cost about 70 Euros in Europe. This will make the charger one of the more expensive charging stations on the market.

OnePlus 8 [Pro] will be officially released on April 14th, and then we may learn more about the new charging station. Then, you should also determine the price of all new devices that OnePlus requires. Incidentally, there are already assumptions about hardware. OnePlus 8 can already be seen on Geekbench. In addition, the new display should set several records on the display.
