punmeisterone, 08 Nov 2017For one, it's still cheaper than Apple's fast charging bric... moreIt's much more expensive than many other Chinese accessories. But not just OnePlus overpriced. It's accessories overpriced too.
People says this stupidity like wireless charging is useless and slow mystically will switch their opinion if OnePlus will install this tech into their overpriced chinaphones. At least half of them just usual bots. Every time OnePlus start to promote it's cheap made but expensive crap they start to say the same useless things, trying to make fake hype. It's so obvious and miserable.

Wireless charging is more of a home thing. I charge usb-c when I want a quick charge up. I think phones without headphone jacks should have wireless charging. One usb-c port will get abused by charging and headphones constantly plugging in and out

I fail to understand the concept of this *WIRED* wireless charging. It's still wired charging. You still need to put your phone down. Just that you don't put the cable in phone.

Maybe then you will realize how completely wrong you are. Don't worry, i won't spoonfeed. I believe the best way to learn is if you do the effort to look for answers yourself. Good luck on your quest for knowledge and enlightenment!

He is right. I have fast wireless charger for my S7 but, I don't use it cause its slower that than wired fast charger + you cannot use your phone while charging wirelessly.

Dash Charge is amazing... I bought 2 extra dash chargers just so I have it at the office, home and can travel with one...
I am not sure if its the same as Qualcomm Quick Charge, but the Dash Charge getting to 80% in 30min of charge has been super reassuring for a long day.

AnonD-79616, 08 Nov 2017He is just dancing around the subject. Really why cant we h... moreBecause It will cost extra design works, component cost in terms of physical spaces in the design and production cost for a functionality which is basically a gimmick, and will lead to functionality cuts e.g. removing the 3.5mm jack or raise the final production cost which most likely passed to the customers themselves those doesn't care anyway because what they care is productive and cost effective phones?

That's a dumb argument. It's not one over the other. The fact that you cannot have that option whether you think it's better than wired charging or not makes the 5t definitively behind the pack on that aspect.

sa11oum, 08 Nov 2017Wireless charging is useless. I love that I can say that no... moreClearly the typical USB fast charging is still superior, and yet some would complain the absence of wireless charging on smartphones

It doesn't have wireless charging because the phone is busy spying on your privacy.

Big fail. Dash charge has nothing to do with wireless charging, and cable will never be as convenient as wireless. That was a disappointing statement.

You can always get one of those USB-C wireless charging backs/receivers, so you can have wireless charging even with an all-metal phone.
But it's really true that wireless charging is really slower and definitely generates more heat than regular charging (many fast chargers nowadays keep the heat in the charger and not the phone itself).

I'd much rather have the sturdiness of a metal back and not have fast charge then the mild convenience of wireless charging with a fragile glass back

Should have both wireless charging and dash charge, at least it would have that IP68 rating.

I agree with them on that...but what if USB becomes loose like on my S8???
Then you need to hold both, phone and USB cable for around one time to charge it.
