CEO Lau says OnePlus 7T will charge 23% faster with Warp Charge 30T
OnePlus will be launching its brand new phones ‘OnePlus 7T’ and ‘OnePlus 7T Pro’ on September 26, 2019. They will be coming as the successors to OnePlus 7 and OnePlus 7 Pro, which have been launched in the beginning of this year. Just before the launch, the company has confirmed that it is making 90Hz display standard on its flagships this year. OnePlus also showed the design which backed the statement that it will have a circular rear camera module. Moreover, the new phones will also have big changes in charging capabilities.
It has been announced that the next flagship smartphones will come equipped with Warp Charge 3T, which will charge the devices at 23 percent faster speeds. “We believe that Warp Charge 30T offers the best charging solution for real-world usage. You can charge the phone at 23% faster speeds, even while using the device,” OnePlus CEO Pete Lau said in a statement.
The existing OnePlus 7 supports 20W fast charge while OnePlus 7 Pro supports 30W Warp Charge.
“We’re not going to introduce something for the sake of being first,” Lau said about new fast charging feature. “We took time to refine and iterate, continuously testing until we were able to achieve something we were proud to provide to our fans.”
Users will be able to use the same 30W Warp Charge charging brick with their new phone. Furthermore, Warp Charge 30 handles the power management inside of the power brick instead of inside the phone. This allows the phone to remain cool even when the device is charging at a faster rate and even when it is in use. “Our latest Warp Charge delivers 6A at 5V to attain 30W,” Lau said.
Though a let-down is there that OnePlus 7T and OnePlus 7T Pro, like their predecessors, will not support wireless charging. Lau claims that wireless charging is still not fast enough to be added to the company’s devices.
