Exclusive: OnePlus 7T will have 23% faster charging with Warp Charge 30T

OnePlus 7T news
The all-but-fully-announced OnePlus 7T is coming – we've not only seen leaks about the specs, but OnePlus founder and CEO Pete Lau showed off the design this week.
We have a bit more information about the tech behind that blue matte-frosted glass enclosure. Specifically, we can tell you about the new OnePlus 7T fast charging capabilities.
"We believe that Warp Charge 30T offers the best charging solution for real-world usage," Lau told TechRadar. "You can charge the phone at 23% faster speeds, even while using the device."
Sure, we found the five-month-old OnePlus 7 Pro to charge quickly. Our battery recharge tests indicated it went from 0% to 100% in one hour and 23 minutes. The OnePlus 7T is said to best that timing.
"We’re not going to introduce something for the sake of being first," Lau said about why it didn't come to the OnePlus 7 Pro earlier this year. "We took time to refine and iterate, continuously testing until we were able to achieve something we were proud to provide to our fans."

Where OnePlus does things a bit differently
You should be able to use the same Warp Charge 30 charging brick with the new phone, and that's where a lot of the fast-charging magic happens. It's the reason it's a bit bigger than a normal charger.
"Unlike most fast charging solutions, Warp Charge 30 handles the power management inside of the power brick instead of inside the phone," Lau said. "This keeps the phone cool, allowing for fast charge rates even when the phone is in use."
Huawei and Samsung are also leaders pushing fast phone charging to their limits, but OnePlus uses decidedly different technology to increase its speeds. 
"Our latest Warp Charge delivers 6A at 5V to attain 30W," Lau revealed.
"Compared to other charging technology that rely on high voltage, Warp Charge 30T is able fast charge without overheating, even enabling phone users the capability to game while they charge their devices."

Wireless charging not up to speed for OnePlus

While OnePlus continues to make advancements in charging speeds, you shouldn't expect wireless charging to be a part of the forthcoming OnePlus 7T unveiling.
"Wireless charging doesn’t currently offer the fast experience that we are comfortable adding to our devices," Lau admitted.
While Samsung does offer fast wireless charging at 15W in the Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10 Plus, it still pales in comparison to a wired charging experience. It's a nice to have, but doesn't seem like it's for OnePlus – at least not in 2019.

EVERYTHING WE KNOW ABOUT THE PIXEL 4, THE MOST-LEAKED PHONE EVER

Image
Google’s  Pixel 3 might have been the  most-leaked phone in history . Long before its unveiling, we knew practically everything about it from unboxing videos, photo comparisons, even a full review of the device. Surely, for the Pixel 4, Google would clamp down on leaks to leave some surprises for its debut on  October 15th , right? Let’s just say, if that was the plan, it didn’t exactly work out. We’ve now seen the Pixel 4 XL from every angle and in three different colors. At least seven different sources have touched this phone, many of them confirming the same specs. We not only know which cameras it’ll have, but also what they may be capable of, including air gestures (go figure). That doesn’t even count information Google has already shared  on purpose. So if you want to know almost everything about the Pixel 4 nearly a month before it’s announced, buckle up. We’ve sifted through all of the rumors and information we can find to compile everything we know — and everything we

As 2018 comes to a close, it’s time to look at some our favorite apps of the year. While not all of these are brand new, many of them popped up onto our radar for the first time in 2018, and are definitely worth the attention. Others are some of our favorites that are still best-in-class despite having been around for some time now. We aim to do things differently at TNW, and as such you’re not going to find the recommendations you’re probably used to seeing: Gmail, Skype, Dropbox, and the like. Instead, we want to focus on the best-of-the-best that you may not have heard of, and others that are just special enough to warrant a mention. As always, we’d encourage you to share some of your favorites in the comments below, or on Facebook. Enlight Pixaloop (Free Pixaloop  is one of my favorite apps on the market.
