The company's CEO, Pete Lau, in an interview with CNET revealed some details about the upcoming flagship of the company, the OnePlus 7.
ΜOne of the companies that found and introduced new devices at MWC 2019, was OnePlus. Although wireless charging is one of the hallmarks of any flagship, according to Pete Lau, the company does not consider it worthwhile to incorporate this technology into its products.
He says Warp Charging, formerly known as Dash Charging, used by OnePlus is the best in the industry, and that wireless charging is much lower.
One of the concerns expressed by Pete Lau is that the time required to wirelessly charge a device via a wireless pad is quite long, while with wired charging the smartphone fully charges in less than an hour.
However, OnePlus has not completely written off the technology, as Pete Lau said the company is working on a project aimed at speeding up wireless charging. However, so far the results are not very encouraging. Each test of the wireless charging acceleration results in the device overheating.
When the reporter asked Pete Lau if OnePlus would release a foldable smartphone, the CEO of OnePlus said that the concept of these devices is very interesting. However, the price of this technology is quite high, and does not keep pace with the goals of the company, and its consumer audience. In essence, Pete Lau made the same argument as Honor's CEO when it comes to foldable smartphones.
Finally, Pete Lau stated that he has a prototype OnePlus 7 on him but he does not want to reveal it. He also did not want to comment on rumors that the device wants to have a pop-up camera, and not have a notch.
