After announcing Warp Charge 65 last year with the launch of the OnePlus 8T, it appears OnePlus will be backtracking as a leak has revealed that its next fast charging technology will arrive as OnePlus Warp Charge 50. The leak also includes images of a new power adapter for the charging technology.
Little is known about the technology behind Warp Charge 50 and which of the upcoming OnePlus 9 phones will support it. However, the images of the power adapter which were originally posted on Weibo before they were deleted and reposted on Twitter by TechDroider, show a charger that shares a striking resemblance to the OPPO 50W mini SuperVOOC charger that was announced last year.

The charger has a white glossy finish and a foldable plug design that helps with its portable design. It also comes with a USB-C to USB-C cable inside the box, unlike the Warp Charge 65 power adapter that doesn’t come with a cable.
If this is a rebadged device, then the OnePlus Warp Charge 50 power adapter uses GaN technology and should support Power Delivery, Programmable Power Supply (PPS). However, some new additions may include backward compatibility with OnePlus’ own previous fast charging technologies such as Warp Charge 30T and Warp Charge 30.
We expect the charging technology will be announced before the launch next week while the power adapter will launch alongside the phones next week.
