OnePlus explains why the 6 doesn't have wireless charging

21 May 2018
"We're not going to add a feature just for the sake of it," say officials.

Sort by:

Waste of space and resources. Worthless gimmick anyway. Only good on phones that lasts 4 days or more, on battery.

    yee, 21 May 2018not a single person i know using wireless charging.... for ... moreI have it in my car. Pretty neat imo

      Its always good to have an add-on Features rather than considering who will use it...

      Even they said same with the Battery... Buyers are fine with some extra bulk to have an extra Battery...

        ZloiYuri, 21 May 2018Cost of wireless charging coil + controller now less than 5... moreYep, exactly my thoughts. It makes no sense to omit it. What should be omitted, is those glass backs, in all phones. Such a cheap looking finish.

          finally FINALLY :')
          finally some one knows how useLESS is wireless charging
          one problem why the glass back? you can add a peace of glass on the top side of the phone for the NFC (like Motorola moto Z)
          it looks good and allows you to use full metal back for protection
          NOne is stupid enough to look at the glass and say "Oooo :O SHINY let's buy it !!!!"

            Wireless charging is meh

              I feel like that wireless charging is everywhere, also in a lot of phones. Not having that must feel weird, like having old gen. phone.

                  They're saving it for the 6T.
                  Saved you some time.

                    Yet they added a notch...

                            Cost of wireless charging coil + controller now less than 5 usd for manufacturers. So all of these excuses are literally has no any sense. They just bad in engineering. But good in cheating.

                              I have no problem with not including wireless charging.

                              But WHY switch to glass ?

                              It makes 0 sense to have fragile glass if it's not used for better conductivity. The all metal back was much much better !

                                Thats a weak excuse. While wireless charging might not be an essential feature, it definitely is nice having it as an option. I bought my wireless charger just a few months ago and i love it. If you're mot going to include it at least skip the glass back, one more way to wreck your phone, not to mention what a fingerprint magnet glass is.

                                  That's why there is a notch with no real purpose, a dual camera on the back with no real purpose, a 18:9 screen like everyone else...

                                  Gosh, this company is pathetic and a joke

                                    personally i don't care about wireless charging.

                                        I just love these explanasions where it's so clear that they will include wireless charging in their next model.
