OnePlus has recently made a notable enhancement to charging convenience with a new cable designed for both their smartphones and smartwatches. The sleek, red cable is branded with Supervooc technology for fast charging, making it a practical addition for users who own multiple OnePlus devices. This innovative cable features a standard USB-C end for charging OnePlus phones and incorporates a mid-mounted puck with POGO pins specifically for charging OnePlus smartwatches.
It is compatible with the OnePlus Watch 2, Watch 2R, and Watch 3. When charging a phone alone, the cable supports up to 80W fast charging, while using it for both devices allocates 67W to the phone and 10W to the smartwatch. The dual charging cable is available for $29.99 directly from OnePlus.
However, it’s important to note that users will need to supply their own charging brick, as the cable does not come with one. Additionally, it is equipped with an E-marker smart chip, ensuring your devices are protected against overload, and measures 120 cm in length. While dual charging stands for wireless devices exist, they are often slower than wired charging, and OnePlus has cleverly tapped into this need with their cable solution.
Despite the advantages for OnePlus device users, it is worth mentioning that this cable is incompatible with Apple products, including iPhones and Apple Watches. Those who currently use Apple devices will have to wait for a similar charging solution from the company. Overall, this new cable showcases OnePlus’s commitment to innovation in simplifying the charging experience.
