The internet has been buzzing with news that OnePlus will soon announce the OnePlus 8T smartphone after initial rumours that the 8T would be skipped this year. More interesting is the rumour that the OnePlus 8T will come with support for 65W Warp charge support. OnePlus has officially announced that the OP8T will indeed bring support for the 65W Warp charge just as rumoured. This was disclosed by the company in a press release today.
The 65W Warp Charge dubbed Warp Charge 65 will debut as OnePlus’ fastest charging solution yet. The solution more than double the charging speed of its predecessor, Warp Charge 30T and is capable of charging the OnePlus 8T 5G’s 4500mAh battery fully in 39 minutes and deliver up to 58% charge in just 15 minutes.
According to OnePlus’ CEO Pete Lau, “Charging should be quick and simple to help make your digital life as burdenless as possible.” He added, “With OnePlus’ focus on delivering a fast and smooth flagship experience, we changed our approach to fast charging with the OnePlus 8T 5G. Our new Warp Charge 65 technology will continue to transform the way people think about charging.”
OnePlus says the OnePlus 8T will have a twin-battery design which is similar to the battery setup utilised on the Find X2 series by OPPO, a fellow BBK subsidiary. The Find X2 features a pair of 2,130mAh cells and has onboard OPPO’s 65W SuperVOOC 2.0 charging technology charges both cells simultaneously.
The new twin-battery configuration allows the OnePlus 8T 5G to charge more than twice as fast as Warp Charge 30T. With this new setup, both batteries can charge at more than 30W simultaneously while staying cool even when using the phone.
OnePlus will also ship the OP 8T with the Warp Charge 65 power adapter which is designed to offer high compatibility with other devices. It features a dual-end USB-C port design and supports all previous OnePlus charging protocols. It also supports up to 45W PD charging, providing users with the ability to juice up multiple supporting devices such as laptops or tablets.
On top of the already secure chip framework, OnePlus added an additional encryption chip to the charger and cable and 12 temperature sensors in the phone to allow OnePlus devices to charge intelligently and efficiently in different situations. Furthermore, a new heat dissipation system has been included in the OnePlus 8T 5G to keep the charging temperature at a comfortable level. All of these features have been added to ensure that Warp Charge 65 is not only lightning fast but also safe to use at any time.
The OnePlus 8T 5G, along with the new Warp Charge 65 technology, will officially launch on October 14, 2020. The flagship phone OnePlus 8T 5G available for pre-book starting 25 September to 16 October 2020 at all OnePlus exclusive stores. Pre-booking for the device starts at INR 2000 giving them first preference once open sales are live for the OnePlus 8T 5G.
