OnePlus 8T confirmed to launch with Warp Charge 65

OnePlus 8T is now confirmed to feature Warp Charge 65 fast charging technology when it launches on October 14 in India. The OnePlus 8T is slated to be the first phone in the company’s arsenal to support 65W fast charging that is capable of recharging the phone relatively faster than any other OnePlus phone in the market. OnePlus has been revealing key features of the upcoming OnePlus 8T in the heads up to the launch which is scheduled to begin from 7:30 PM IST on October 14.

According to a post on OnePlus Forums, Warp Charge 65 will fully charge the OnePlus 8T in 39 minutes and is capable of charging it up to 58% in 15 minutes tops. Moreover, the company also confirmed that the OnePlus 8T is equipped with a 4,500mAh battery, corroborating earlier leaks and rumours. 

OnePlus 8T uses a dual-cell battery technology that charges two separate cells at more than 30W simultaneously while keeping the thermals in check. A drawback of fast battery charging is the amount of heat generated and the methods deployed to counter it. OnePlus 8T is fitted with a new heat dissipation system and the company has added an encryption chip to the charging adapter along with 12 temperature sensors in the phone to keep the device running cool even when charging at 65W.
