Last year’s OnePlus 8 Pro was the company’s first model to support wireless charging, and they did so with a splash and added support for their own 30-watt ‘Warp’ charger. According to the leaks about the upcoming refresh, the 9 Pro will increase it to 50 watts, which will likely speed up the wireless charging rate even more.
Previously, the OnePlus 9 pro supported rumors to support 45-watt wireless charging. According to a report by Ishan Agarwal, the frequent leak, the phone will be sold with a premium wireless charger, just like the previous model. The OnePlus 9 Pro and the cheaper 9 model both support standard Qi wireless charging, says Agarwal, although the non-Pro will not have access to the higher charging speeds. Last year, the OnePlus 8 (sans Pro) had no wireless charging capability.
Several leaks from both devices have already occurred, showing us the rear camera design and a few other hardware options. There are also rumors of a OnePlus 9 Lite, which gives the company the same three-model flagship approach as Samsung. The announcement is confirmed and scheduled for March 23.
