NEW DELHI: Smartphone maker OnePlus has already confirmed that it will launch its next generation OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro smartphones on March 23. Now the company has revealed a new detail about the yet-to-launch OnePlus 9 Pro smartphone.
OnePlus has confirmed that the most-expensive OnePlus 9 Pro will come with the company’s first 50W wireless charging technology. The company introduced wireless charging in OnePlus 8 Pro with WrapCharge 30. OnePlus 8 Pro is backed by a 4150mAh battery and it takes 30 minutes to wireless charge the device from 0 to 100%.
OnePlus has confirmed that the OnePlus 9 Pro will come with 50W wireless charging support and it will take 43 minutes to charge the smartphone from 1 to 100%.
The company said that it used a dual-cell configuration that fills up both batteries at 25W each through the charging coil.
OnePlus has also optimised the entire chain of components, such as coils and charging ICs, and used leading technologies like our charging pump technology.
In a OnePlus forum post the company also explained how this charging technology will work. “Charging speed can be improved by either increasing amperage or voltage. With Warp Charge 50 Wireless, we increased the voltage to around 20V 2.5A. The high wattage is transferred into the OnePlus 9 Pro through the coils, after which 20V 2.5A power goes through our proprietary isolated charge pump, which turns 20V 2.5A power into 10V 5A power. This power feeds into our new twin-battery system, two battery cells in series together. Each battery gets around 5V 5A, which translates to 25W each, 50W in total,” said OnePlus.
New Warp Charge 50 Wireless design
The company has also designed the new wireless charger. The Wrap Charger 50 wireless uses high voltage power and its new design promises to reduce the heat.

  • Twin battery design with customized new battery cell, which has lower internal resistance, meaning it will produce less heat during charging.
  • Increase in the thickness of the coils inside the phone by 10% compared to the 8 Pro to help the heat dissipation.
  • The OnePlus 9 Pro has a larger vapor chamber, thicker copper foil and graphite that helps keep the phone cooler while gaming as well during fast charging.

The charger also comes equipped with two coils placed at the top and bottom. The new charger features a detachable cable design, which enables users to use the red cable of the Wrap Charge 65 given in the box.
Warp Charge 65T for both OnePlus 9 and 9 Pro
The company has also confirmed that both OnePlus 9 Pro and OnePlus 9 will come with 65W fast charging support. Warp Charge 65T for both OnePlus 9 and 9 Pro.

NEW DELHI: Smartphone maker OnePlus will launch its next-generation OnePlus 9 series smartphones on March 23. Now, the company has also confirmed that it will launch its first smartwatch at the same event.
The company CEO Pete Lau has confirmed that the OnePlus Watch will not run on Google’s WearOS.
Lau confirmed this to a OnePlus forum member that the upcoming smartwatch will run on an unnamed RTOS (real-time operating system).
Pete Lau said, “We chose to go with a smart wear operating system developed based on RTOS because we believe it provides you a smooth and reliable experience while offering a great battery life, covering some of the biggest concerns we’ve been hearing from people looking to buy a smartwatch.”
This means that the OnePlus Watch will offer a similar user experience like the Amazfit and Zepp smartwatches. The software on these wearables come with limited apps and offer no support for third-party apps. On the other hand, these watches offer long lasting battery life.
Apart from the operating system, the company has also confirmed that the OnePlus Watch will come with a burdenless design. The wearable will also offer seamless connectivity between OnePlus smartphones, audio devices and OnePlus TV. The company has also mentioned that the smartwatch will come with an affordable price tag.
Apart from this, some of the earlier leaks revealed that the OnePlus Watch will come with a square-shaped dial and it will come in Black and Silver colour options.
Rumours also suggest that the device will come with an IP68 rating which will make the smartwatch dust and water-resistant. The smartwatch is also said to come with a heart rate and SpO2 monitor. It is also said to offer features like automatic wear detection, sleep tracking and a swimming mode.

OnePlus has officially announced that the next-generation OnePlus 9 series will launch on March 23. The company has also announced a partnership with Swedish medium format camera makers Hasselblad, for the optics on the next smartphones. As per previous rumours, the upcoming series will include the vanilla OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro. The Chinese tech company is also expected to launch a budget-oriented OnePlus 9R at the same event. The regular and the pro models are expected to carry the flagship Snapdragon 888 from Qualcomm.

OnePlus shared the latest development across its social media channels. The launch event will start at 7:30 PM IST (10:00 AM EDT), the company revealed. The promotional video clip also teases one of the phone’s quad rear camera setup with the Hasselblad branding.
