OnePlus just unveiled the OnePlus 12 in China as its 10th-anniversary flagship smartphone. The brand leaves no stone unturned with its latest premium slab phone. The device brings back the support for wireless charging, which was dropped for the OnePlus 11 but was available on previous models. To be precise, the latest OnePlus 12 supports 50W AIRVOOC standard, just like the OnePlus 10 Pro and the OnePlus 9 Pro. However, the brand has still released a new wireless charger. Let’s take a look at this accessory.
OnePlus’ new wireless charging stand is
officially called ‘OnePlus AIRVOOC 50W Wireless Flash Charger A1. It comes in a
single white color option like the older outgoing model. This new charging accessory
is priced at ¥ 299 (US$ 40) in China. For a limited time, it will be sold at ¥ 249
(US$ 35). Additionally, it can be availed at ¥ 199 (US$ 30) if purchased along with
the OnePlus 12. The product is yet to be listed on the brand’s official website
as of writing this article. But thanks to a retailer listing, we know a few
things about it.
OnePlus claims that its new wireless
charger can fill up 50% of OnePlus 12’s 5,400mAh battery in just 23 minutes.
The charging stand uses a dual-coil design and it has a 60° inclining angle to
rest the phone. The charger has a butterfly wing air cooling technology to keep
the thermals in control. There’s support for an intelligent quiet mode which
reduces the fan speed and charging speed during nights. Interestingly, this accessory
is only compatible with the OnePlus 12 and the Oppo Find X6 Pro. Thus, users of
older OnePlus and Oppo phones with 50W AIRVOOC support will have to invest in
the older charger.
Finally, handsets can be charged using a
case with a maximum thickness of 2mm.
