OnePlus announced its first power bank
about five years ago but has not followed up with a new model since then.
Earlier this year, Carl Pei asked fans to retweet a tweet if they’d like a
fast-charging power bank, hinting at the revival of the product line. It has
been seven months now and it appears a new OnePlus power bank is about to
launch.
The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has
certified a new OnePlus product, and according to the registration page, the
product is a power bank. A screenshot of the page posted on Twitter by
Sudhanshu Ambhore (@Sudhanshu1414) says the power bank is manufactured in
Guangdong, China by OPPO, which should not come as a surprise.
The OnePlus Power Bank may likely be a
rebadge of one of OPPO’s existing power banks and will have support for fast
charging. It should have a battery capacity of at least 10,000mAh and an
expected price tag of about $20 when it launches.
We expect the new power bank will be
announced alongside OnePlus’s upcoming smartphones, probably alongside the
OnePlus 8T.
