According to the OnePlus 9 Pro, faster 45W wireless charging and reverse wireless charging are available to complement accessories such as wireless headphones, according to a report by Max Jambor at Voice.
The OnePlus 8 Pro was the first OnePlus device to charge wirelessly, but it was limited to 30W. A collision up to 45W is a notable increase and can allow even faster charging speeds than the 50 Pro charging of the 8 Pro in 30 minutes. Faster wireless charging may also indicate that the OnePlus 9 Pro may contain the 65W wired charging of the OnePlus 8T, according to 9to5Google. However, OnePlus decides to improve the charging enhancement, but it could potentially be useful if other flagship features such as an improved screen and 5G support drain the battery faster than before.
Reverse wireless charging on the OnePlus 9 Pro is a first for OnePlus. Over the past few years, several flagship Android phones have adopted the feature, from the Pixel 5’s Battery Share to Wireless PowerShare on the Galaxy S20 line. Like these phones, reverse wireless charging is likely to be slower than you can get with a wired connection, but it’s still a handy feature that OnePlus might include.
The rest of the OnePlus Pro 9 remains a mystery, but images and specifications for a prototype of the OnePlus 9 have leaked, giving us a good indication of the key features of the new line. Some notables include a 120Hz screen, a Snapdragon 888 processor and a 4500mAh battery. Look out for more leaks and rumors as we get closer to the expected spring launch of OnePlus’ latest phones.
