Wireless charging has recorded significant improvements in a very short span. The charging technology is now as fast and even faster than some wired charging technology. Today, OnePlus has confirmed that its new flagship, the OnePlus 9 Pro supports 50W Wireless Charging.

A tweet by Pete Lau has confirmed that the OnePlus 9 Pro supports 50W Wireless Charging. He goes on to reveal that the device will charge from empty to 100% in just 43 minutes via the wireless charging technology.

And while we're at it, if you want to talk about speed:

A tweet by the official OnePlus account shows the OnePlus 9 Pro’s fast wireless charging in a speed test against an iPhone. We also catch a glimpse of the 50W wireless charger which was certified today by the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC). The image below from the WPC certification page gives us a better look.

The charger, which is officially called the OnePlus Warp Charge 50 Wireless Charger, has a white finish like the OnePlus Warp Charge 30 Wireless Charger but the design is slightly different, Although it keeps the vertical design, however, unlike the 30W wireless charger which has a horizontal ridge in the middle, the 50W wireless charger is completely flat. There is an LED in front of where the phone rests when charging and we can make out slip-resistant pads underneath.

In Pete Lau’s tweet above, he also reveals that the OnePlus 9 Pro will be able to fully charge in 29 minutes via wired charging. This is shorter than the 39 minutes duration of the OnePlus 8T which also supports 65W fast wired charging and also has a 4500mAh battery like the OnePlus 9 Pro. Our guess is that the OnePlus 9 Pro may be coming with an enhanced version of Warp Charge 65.

The OnePlus 9 series will be announced on March 23 at a global launch event. Alongside the OnePlus 9 Pro, we will also get the OnePlus 9, the OnePlus 9R, and the OnePlus Watch.
