After showcasing its upcoming 5G smartphone at the Mobile World Congress 2019 in Barcelona, Spain, OnePlus is now gearing up to launch its flagship phone — OnePlus 7.
Recently, in an interview with CNET, OnePlus CEO Pete Lau revealed that the next-generation OnePlus smartphone won’t come with support for wireless charging.
OnePlus is known for offering top-of-the-line specifications at a comparatively cheaper price. However, to do so, the company has to ditch some features and one of them is wireless charging — something that many of its users are expecting since past couple of years.
While it’s not that the company won’t be offering wireless charging on its smartphones at all, but it won’t be coming anytime soon. The reason behind that is the company’s proprietary charging technology — Warp Charge which was earlier known as Dash Charge.
Pete Lau explained that the standard set by the Warp Charge is the benchmark and compared to that, the current wireless charging is too slow. So, it seems that the wireless charging will be made available on the OnePlus smartphone when the technology develops further and offers faster charging than the current standards.
OnePlus has been working to accelerate the development of wireless charging and is currently figuring out how to charge quickly without generating much heat. Currently, most of the flagship smartphones from leading brands offer wireless charging, including Apple, Samsung, Huawei, LG, Xiaomi, among others.
