The OnePlus 9 Pro is rumored to feature 45W faster wireless charging and reverse wireless charging to fill accessories like wireless headphones, according to a post by Max Jambor on Voice.
The OnePlus 8 Pro was the first OnePlus device to feature wireless charging, but it was limited to 30W. An increase of up to 45W would be a noticeable increase and could allow charging speeds even faster than the 50% charge of the 8 Pro in 30 minutes. The faster wireless charging can also indicate that the OnePlus 9 Pro can feature the 65W wired charging of the OnePlus 8T, according to 9to5Google. However, OnePlus decides to improve charging, it can potentially be useful if other key features, such as an improved screen and 5G support, deplete the battery faster than before.
Reverse wireless charging on the OnePlus 9 Pro would be the first for the OnePlus. In recent years, several prominent Android phones have adopted the feature, from Pixel 5’s Battery Share to Wireless PowerShare in the Galaxy S20 line. Like these phones, reverse wireless charging is likely to be slower than you could get with a wired connection, but it’s still a useful feature for OnePlus to include.
The rest of the OnePlus Pro 9 remains a mystery, but the images and specifications of a OnePlus 9 prototype were leaked, giving us a good indication of the main features of the new line. Some notables include a 120 Hz screen, a Snapdragon 888 processor and a 4,500 mAh battery. Watch for more leaks and rumors as we approach the expected spring release of the newest OnePlus phones.
