Future OnePlus phone to get 150W fast-charging

Source: OPPO

Innovations in the fast-charging space have continuously been pushed by Chinese brands. OPPO used Mobile World Congress to talk about its new 150W SuperVOOC fast-charging standard, which it claims can charge a 4,500mAh battery from 1 percent to 50 percent in five minutes, then to 100 percent in just 15. It plans to bring the technology first to its OnePlus sub-brand in the second quarter. 

OnePlus, we've heard, has plans to launch the OnePlus 10 Pro in more markets later this year. But that won't be the device to feature this technology. OPPO introduced 125W SuperVOOC fast-charging in 2020, but that wasn't launched in any of the company's products.

After its early January, China-exclusive launch, the OnePlus 10 Pro is finally coming to more regions. The company announced at Mobile World Congress 2022 that its latest flagship is coming to the US, Europe, and India "by the end of March." It also reversed its decision to launch the phone in these markets with the unified OS it developed with OPPO. OnePlus confirmed that "global OnePlus devices will continue to run OxygenOS," while their China counterparts will stick to ColorOS.

The OnePlus 10 Pro will launch with OxygenOS 12.1, but it will soon receive the OxygenOS 13 update. OnePlus emphasized that the OxygenOS and ColorOS share a "clean and lightweight" unified OS codebase, but OxygenOS gets a "lighter" stock Android experience to appeal to global users.

OnePlus launches Nord CE 2

OnePlus's Core Edition Nord model gets an upgrade with the just launched OnePlus Nord CE 2. The company revamps the look of the phone to sport a design reminiscent of sister company OPPO's Find X3 Pro. The redesign makes sense, given how the OPPO and OnePlus teams have merged. Even with the new look, the Nord CE 2 gets the same triple rear camera setup as its predecessor, including a 64-megapixel main camera, 8-megapixel ultra-wide, and 2-megapixel depth.

The Nord CE 2 runs on a Dimensity 900 processor with 6GB or 8GB of LPDDR4X RAM, 128GB of expandable UFS 3.1 storage and Android 11-based OxygenOS 11.3. It retains the original model's 6.43-inch 90Hz AMOLED display, 16-megapixel selfie camera, and 4,500Mah battery with 65W wired charging support. OnePlus retails the Nord CE 2 for INR 23,999 (roughly CA$410 converted) for the 6GB variant. It goes on sale in India on February 22, followed by Europe on March 10.

OnePlus used CES to tease the launch of its newest flagship, but now, it has officially unveiled the OnePlus 10 Pro in China, with a global release expected later in 2022. Many of this phone's specs have already been revealed before the launch. But let's now take a look at the complete and official specs list. 

It comes with a 6.7-inch 120Hz LTPO display, which allows it to dynamically change the refresh rate between 1 and 120Hz depending on what's on the screen. It runs on Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset with 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM and up to 256GB UFS 3.1 storage. It also has a large 5,000mAh battery paired with OPPO's SuperVOOC 80W fast-charging—which lets you fast-charge from 0-100% in 32 minutes—and 50W wireless charging with reverse wireless charging support.
