OnePlus has officially revealed the price of its 30W Warp Charge wireless charger in India. The gadget is listed on the Chinese company’s official website and is priced at 3,990 INR (roughly 52 US Dollars), which is interesting considering it is priced at 69.95 US Dollars in the US (roughly 5,300 USD).

As of right now, the OnePlus 30W Warp Wireless Charger isn’t available for purchase and is currently listed under ‘Coming Soon’ while also giving the ‘Notify Me’ option to users. The website has listed the gadget in a single white color option and is likely to start sales alongside the OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro after the local lockdown period ends within the country.

For those unaware, the OnePlus 8 Pro features wireless charging, with the company also launching a 30W Warp Wireless charger. This can charge the device from 0 percent to 50 percent in just 30 minutes and has a peak output of 30Ws. Notably, the wireless charging technology can also be used with other products as well, if they are compatible with the Qi wireless charging standards. This includes support from up to 5W to even 10W EPP standards.

The wireless Warp Charger also includes a Bedtime mode, that will lower the charging output to 10W. This mode activates automatically at 11 PM to 7 AM. However, users can change this setting and even have it activate manually. In terms of safety, the Warp Charger also cuts off power completely if it detects a foreign metal object near its surface, which will keep your device safe, alongside other overheating, and overvoltage protection.

The OnePlus 8 Pro is OnePlus’s first phone with support for wireless charging and with it comes their first wireless charger. The OnePlus Warp Charge 30 Wireless Charger has a vertically-standing design which means your phone is propped up while charging.

The charger is capable of charging the OnePlus 8 Pro from 0 to 50% in just 29 minutes. It also has support for other devices with Qi/EPP compatibility, charging them at up to 10W (5W and 7.5W supported too). Unfortunately, the wireless charger has a massive design flaw that will make it really annoying to use.

OnePlus has designed the charger in such a way that the cable that connects the charger to the adapter is not removable. What this means is that you can’t detach the adapter from the rest of the body.

You may be wondering why anyone will want to do so but if you need to pass the cable through the cable hole which most desks have, you can’t. The adapter is too big to pass through which means your attempt at cable management just went out the window. The image below shared on Twitter by Ron Amadeo of Ars Technica should help you better understand.

For a company that hammers on design, this was poorly thought out.

If you do not mind the design flaw, you can grab the OnePlus Warp Charge 30 Wireless Charger for $69.95 on top of the $899/$999 you are paying for the phone. It has a built-in fan and also has a customizable bedtime mode that charges the phone at 10W rather than 30W. It also has foreign object detection, overheating protection, overcurrent protection, and overvoltage protection.

It has been confirmed that OnePlus’s wireless charging technology will be called Warp Charge 30 Wireless. Press renders of the wireless charger have been leaked, giving us an early look at the product.

The renders reveal the OnePlus Warp Charge 30 Wireless Charger has a vertical stand design. The charger is white with a silver plate around the edge. There is also an LED at the base to let you know when it is powered on.

The wireless charger also has a grille at the back to help with heat dissipation and most likely has a built-in fan too. Based on one of the images, it doesn’t look like the cable at the back of the charger can be removed.

The OnePlus Warp Charge 30 Wireless Charger will charge the OnePlus 8 Pro from 1% to 50% in just 30 minutes. It has a maximum output of 30W but should be able to charge other devices that support the Qi standard.

There is no info on the price of the charger but we doubt it will cost less than $50.

Pete Lau has confirmed that the OnePlus 8 series will come powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 processor which promises 25 percent increase in CPU and GPU performance while reducing power usage by 25 percent.
