Wireless charging, contrary to well-established opinion, carries with it more restrictions than freedom, said Pete Lau, co-founder and CEO of OnePlus. For this reason, the Chinese manufacturer abandoned the idea of ??equipping the corresponding module of the smartphone OnePlus 5T, which is scheduled for release on November 16.

"You can achieve the stated efficiency from wireless charging only if your device has a permanent contact with the site," said Pete Lau. "Even the best solutions on the market are able to offer power no higher than 15 W, and this despite the fact that the smartphone will be located [on site] in strict accordance with the requirements".

Another reason why OnePlus has abandoned the technology of wireless transmission of power without wires is the lack of the ability to use the device during recharging. When you charge your smartphone through a cable, you can continue to interact with it, stressed Lau. But if you use wireless charging, you will not be able to just pick it up.

Dash Charge - much more effective and safe technology, noted CEO OnePlus. Its output power can reach 20 watts, allowing you to provide the smartphone a full day of battery life in just half an hour. In addition, Dash Charge accessories have a high degree of reliability and, unlike the solutions of competitors, are not at all inclined to overheating.
