OnePlus launches new 50W wireless charger for OnePlus 12

Dec 5, 2023

OnePlus just unveiled the OnePlus 12 in China as its 10th-anniversary flagship smartphone. The brand leaves no stone unturned with its latest premium slab phone.

The device brings back the support for wireless charging, which was dropped for the OnePlus 11 but was available on previous models. To be precise, the latest OnePlus 12 supports 50W AIRVOOC standard, just like the OnePlus 10 Pro and the OnePlus 9 Pro.

However, the brand has still released a new wireless charger. Let’s take a look at this accessory.

OnePlus’ new wireless charging stand is officially called ‘OnePlus AIRVOOC 50W Wireless Flash Charger A1. It comes in a single white color option like the older outgoing model.

This new charging accessory is priced at ¥299 (~$40) in China. For a limited time, it will be sold at ¥249 (~$35). Additionally, it can be availed at ¥199 (~$30) if purchased along with the OnePlus 12.

The product is yet to be listed on the brand’s official website as of writing this article. But thanks to a retailer listing, we know a few things about it.

OnePlus claims that its new wireless charger can fill up 50% of OnePlus 12’s 5,400mAh battery in just 23 minutes. The charging stand uses a dual-coil design and it has a 60° inclining angle to rest the phone.

The charger has a butterfly wing air cooling technology to keep the thermals in control. There’s support for an intelligent quiet mode which reduces the fan speed and charging speed during nights.

Interestingly, this accessory is only compatible with the OnePlus 12 and the Oppo Find X6 Pro. Thus, users of older OnePlus and Oppo phones with 50W AIRVOOC support will have to invest in the older charger.

Finally, handsets can be charged using a case with a maximum thickness of 2mm.

The rear features a 13-megapixel primary camera, while the front houses an 8-megapixel selfie shooter. A large 7,600mAh battery pack powers this device.

Realme India tweeted out a new teaser with the caption “Launching the year-end never-seen-before champion surprise.” The teaser image itself reveals a smartphone with flat edges. It also reads “The Real 5G Democratizer.”

This teaser likely refers to spreading the widespread use of 5G technology in India through affordable smartphones. The Realme C series is one of the brand’s most affordable lines of smartphones, and the rumored Realme C67 5G is more than likely the smartphone in this teaser.

Unfortunately, not much is known about the specifications and features of the Realme C67. So far, rumors suggest that the device will be offered in 4GB, 6GB, and 8GB RAM options accompanied by 128GB storage. That being said, the price point of the C67 5G is expected to be between Rs 12,000 and Rs 15,000, making it quite affordable for a 5G device.

The C67 5G will be the first 5G phone in the C series, and we can expect it to feature something like a Dimensity 6020 SoC. The most recent entry into the C series, the Realme C53 features a 6.74-inch LCD display with a 90Hz refresh rate and HD+ resolution. Although we don’t expect the display technology to improve, it could come with a Full HD+ panel instead. More details are expected to emerge in the coming days, so stay tuned.

It has been years since HTC has given up on the smartphone market. However, the brand continues to sell phones in a limited fashion in its home country Taiwan, and a select few markets.

Earlier this year, the company launched the HTC U23 and HTC U23 Pro. They are actually mid-rangers despite sounding like a couple of flagship smartphones.

Months after their initial debut, the brand has now released a new color variant for the ‘Pro’ model.

HTC U23 Pro gets a new ‘Misty Red’ color option in Taiwan. This version of the handset arrives in a single 8GB + 256GB memory configuration priced at TWD 15,490 (~$490).

There’s a limited-time launch offer for the new hue starting today until December 27. Customers purchasing the phone during this period will get a shockproof case and a wireless charger for free.

Feature-wise, the HTC U23 Pro has nothing special going for it, except for some tidbits like IP rating and wireless charging. It has the standard set of specs that you find on most devices in this range.

The smartphone sports a 6.7-inch centered punch-hole OLED display with an FHD+ resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, and Corning Gorilla Glass Victus protection. It is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 chipset and boots Android 13.

The handset is equipped with a quad camera system on the rear comprising a 108MP primary sensor, an 8MP ultrawide unit, a 5MP macro snapper, and a 2MP depth sensor. On the front, it has a 32MP shooter for selfies and video calls.

Wi-Fi 7, also known as IEEE 802.11be – Extremely High Throughput, represents the next generation of Wi-Fi standards. Building upon the foundation of Wi-Fi 6, Wi-Fi 7 introduces 320 MHz bandwidth, 4096-QAM, Multi-RU (Resource Unit), multi-link operation, and multi-AP (Access Point) cooperation. These advancements result in higher data transmission rates and reduced latency compared to Wi-Fi 6.

Wi-Fi 7 is expected to have a throughput of up to 23 Gbps, which is about three times that of Wi-Fi 6. This substantial increase in speed holds the promise of delivering seamless connectivity and an improved user experience across various applications, from streaming high-definition content to online gaming and other bandwidth-intensive tasks.

The technology introduces multi-way connection capabilities, dynamic optimization, lower latency, and stronger anti-interference measures. These advancements collectively contribute to a more robust and efficient Wi-Fi experience.

The upgrade to Wi-Fi 7 extends to the company’s routers as well. The Xiaomi 10 Gigabit router and Xiaomi BE7000 Wi-Fi 7 Router have commenced firmware upgrades to incorporate Wi-Fi 7 features.
