    And that's why wireless charging simply is a waste of resources and money.! But thank you for stating out what the k1ds can't believe. Wireless can't ever match cable charging speed.!

      Better you provide fast updates than faster chargings.....

        Yawn, who cares. Just give us a battery that lasts through a day and I'm fine with 5W charging.

              Oneplus should provide the wireless charger free as an pre-booking offer!! Must be a lucrative one..

                Fast charging may degrade your battery quicker but if you've ever used it it's hard to go back to slow chargers again. I've got a Poco X3 NFC with a 5160mah battery with a 'measly' 33 watt fast charger that fully charges in 65 mins and I think that's fast but also it changes the way you charge your phone. I no longer leave it charging overnight which is less of a fire risk and I usually charge it before it goes flat so very often it's fully charged in 30- 45 mins but also it lasts longer when charged and often only charge it every other day instead of every day so that negates some of the degradation aswell. I'm prepared to take the hit in extra wear for the shear convenience any day of the week.

                  Not sure if I want to use wireless charging when I still have to plug the wireless charging port onto a socket.

                    Within the battery industry and with whoever works with lithium batteries ( like R.C. modelling) the charging rate o C rate is well known.
                    To achieve the rated cycles of a cell/battery is normally specified a charging rate or C rate not above 0.8-1C meaning that not matter the size of the cell/battery pack , a full charge should not take around one hour.

                    You can absolutely do 2C full charge and even 3C as i do sometimes when I'm time constrained but the battery longevity will be worse, no matter what these smartphone manufacturers tells you , there new charging system are merely using two regular ~4V standard smartphone batteries in series act like one ~8V battery , that allows to increase the charging voltage slightly lowering the battery heating.

                    Frankly 2C like this 9 pro is not *that* bad , you should be still be able to use the smartphone for 1-2 years before a noticeable drop in battery capacity.

                    Anyway ,this is on a full charge at the suggested max voltage, if you "fast charge" the battery to like 80% of the max voltage in 30 minutes and slow the charge to reach the 100% in 30 another 30 minutes,( much like what the fastest BEVs do nowadays ) the hit on the longevity should be minimal.

                      For people who invested in their ecosystem with their first true-flagship grade phone, the 8Pro, and bought the $80 Warp Wireless charger are now left with additional investment if they want to fast wireless charge this 2022 flagship.

                      Who upgraded Wireless Charging speeds every version when theirs supported only on their patented, expensive chargers?

                          It is of no use to cast aspersions on OnePlus' 65 watt charging tech, as similar tech has already been proven in many phones, including those from OnePlus.

                          Also, OnePlus' battery replacement charges are very well priced.

                            A macbook pro 16" has a battery of around 100wh with an 96W charger, meaning that is not even 1C charging rate and that for good reason the 13" has a 58wh battery with a matched 62W charger (~1C max with chargin losses) ...see the connection ?
                            The battery inside the bigger iphone 12 max is a frigging 14wH battery .

                              Anonymous, 19 Mar 2021You don't understand how batteries work. Their enginee... moreMaybe it's you that doesn't understand how batteries works ,it's not only about heat.
                              There are no lithium batteries on the market that can do above 1.0C rate of charge to 100% that is guaranteed more than 500cycles.
                              A lithium battery can accept very high rate of charge with minimal degradation only to a certain point/voltage (and varies on the chemistry, cooling, charging method etc) but if you charge it from the minimal nominal voltage to the max nominal voltage at a rate more than 1-1.1C it will result in accelerate wear ,there is no evidence that fully charging any kind of current lithium batteries at 1.5-2C has the same wear than 1C.
                              I'm absolutely not knowledgeable as who produces these batteries, far from it but at the same time I just don't get these kids that trow away personals insults knowing nothing how battery works and just drinking the kool aid of these companies .
                              And no , i'm not paid by anybody to post , and in fact i own an OP 6 that has VooC charger.

                                I just like to tell for who use wireless charger, you utilize around 50% more W/h for charger you phone.

                                According to new calculations from OneZero and iFixit, wireless charging is drastically less efficient than charging with a cord, so much so that the widespread adoption of this technology could necessitate the construction of dozens of new power plants around the world.

                                  There is no cell or chemistry on the market that allows more than 1C charge rate without experiencing premature wear , you people keep drinking the kool-aid.

Their engineers have already provided super fast charging without producing more heat. Independent testing has already proven that these last twice as long as regular batteries. They know more than anonymous jokers like you, which is why they are hired and you are left to tr^ll here. You are most probably Apple, LG, Motorola or Sony user.
