OnePlus 3T's Dash Charge goes up against Google Pixel XL's USB-PD in video battle of fast charging tech

16 November 2016
OnePlus unveiled the 3T yesterday, as you may know. It's a OnePlus 3 lookalike that comes with improved specs, one of which is a bigger battery capacity. The 3,400 mAh cell should hopefully ensure a good day's use for anyone, but what about how fast you can charge it? Like the OnePlus 3 before it, the OnePlus 3T uses Dash Charge, a proprietary technology that the company claims is the fastest out there.

Anonymous, 16 Nov 2016Oppo is bigger than HTCWe are talking google here. Apple devices chipsets are from Samsung or Tmsc and we don't call it samsung, the camera lens is mostly sony or samsung we still call it apple. So what ever may be the hardware part, google is namely it as it's own brand as pixel hence it's a google phone. Besides in near future we will see google go apple way to maximize the overall performance of device by assembling and doing all hardware part itself. Hope you get it!

    The pixel only uses 9V over the USB-PD protocol. The protocol allows much more. We should be getting behind USB-PD and making chargers that support the full range instead of proprietary.

        since the charger for the pixel is standard and easy to find/buy it has a clear advantage . I'll stick with standard over propriety any day of the week.

          Im convinced in OP3 charging not just because its fast, its also doesnt produce heat to the phone. The charger is the one sacrificing itself heating up instead of the battery, and this in turn help battery expectancy life

            Samsung galaxy s7 edge takes 1hour 50mins for 3600mah without any heating.so there's no big deal for dashcharge.
            Moto g4 plus takes 60 mins for 3000mah but extreme heat is produced.

              Even moto g4 turbocharger charges in the same speed as pixel!!!

                Both cant beat Oppo fast charge lol

                  Not a newsworthy substance article really.
                  The difference is tiny and most people don't charge like that anyway.
                  More important is quality and looking after the battery. Pixel for me. Friends got one. Just brilliant.

                    Come on haters,quicker the charge,the less accu life.Every specialist will told you so.Do'nt be a "specification" type of guy,with no clue on what's around you(ignorant).

                      SuperCharge Will destroy all of them.

                                      yeah that Qualcomm QC-2.99 charge with ~1000mah. Paying 57K for Just "G" on back is so unfair that I feel like screaming..

                                        LOL at all silly people saying fail google. First of all, dash charge hurts battery way more, secondly it only works with charger and cable you get when buying phone, meaning you cant have fast charging power bank, extra charger etc. All of this is possible with google decision. And 92% when op3t reached 100% is not even that big of a difference lmao. This is win google, not fail
