Don't expect OnePlus 7 to have wireless charging

If you've been clamoring for wireless charging on the next OnePlus phone, then we're sorry to say but it doesn't look like that's happening just yet. OnePlus CEO Pete Lau told CNET during an interview at MWC 2019 that he doesn't think it's worth adding to his products. He said through an interpreter that "OnePlus charging is one of the best." And that "wireless charging is far inferior."

Lau expressed his skepticism over wireless charging speeds. With the company's own physical quick charge plug, OnePlus claims you can get your battery to 50 percent charged in 20 minutes and fully charged in less than an hour. OnePlus is working on speeding up the charging time for wireless charging, but it still hasn't figured out how to do so without too much heat. When asked about Qualcomm's plans to bring quick-charge technology to wireless charging, Lau refused to comment about possibly using the technology.
