Popular Chinese smartphone OEMs such as Huawei, Xiaomi and OPPO have all introduced fast wireless charging technologies. However, OnePlus is yet to introduce wireless charging feature on its smartphones. After the launch of OnePlus 7T in September, OnePlus CEO Pete Lau claimed that it misses out on wireless charging feature because it is not as fast as its Warp Charge (wired charging) speeds. Also, the company was working on resolving the heating issues associated with its wireless charging tech. Rumors have been claiming that the Chinese firm may introduce the said feature on the upcoming OnePlus 8 series. A leakster shared a cryptic image on Twitter which suggest that the said feature may indeed arrive on the OnePlus 8 Pro.

The tweet shows a phone placed on a wireless charging pad and it carries the “charge like a pro” text. The image is just for representation purpose and not the actual OnePlus 8 Pro placed on a wireless charging bed. The Chinese firm has been working on wireless charging feature since a few years and it seems that the technology could be finally ready to arrive on the OnePlus 8 Pro.
OnePlus 8 Pro specifications (Rumored)
The OnePlus 8 Pro is rumored to be equipped with a 6.65-inch Fluid Display. The CAD renders of the smartphone have revealed that it will be sporting a curved AMOLED screen with a punch-hole at its top-left corner. The phone reportedly supports a refresh rate of 120Hz along with quad HD+ resolution. A recently seen leaked hands-on photo of the OnePlus 8 Pro revealed that it will have an option to switch between 60Hz, 90Hz and 120Hz refresh rate without changing the resolution.
The Snapdragon 865 mobile platform is expected to fuel the OnePlus 8 Pro and OnePlus 8 phones. It could be arriving in variants such as 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage and 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage. The smartphone is expected to house a quad camera setup on its rear.
The phone may feature a 32-megapixel front-facing camera. Its rear camera setup may include a Sony IMX686 64-megapixel main lens, a 20-megapixel ultrawide lens, a 12-megapixel telephoto lens and a ToF sensor. It could be housing a 4,500mAh battery that may arrive with improved version of Warp Charge technology.
Past reports have claimed that OnePlus 8 lineup will include three devices such as OnePlus 8, OnePlus 8 Pro and OnePlus 8 Lite.
