OnePlus’s newest accessory brings 80W charging to your car for $39

By Peter Hunt Szpytek August 3, 2022

In addition to today’s full reveal of the OnePlus 10T, OnePlus has announced its new SuperVOOC 80W car charger. This is a huge step for mobile charging on the go. We’ve seen just how fast 80W can fully juice a device when plugged into a wall outlet, so being able to take those sorts of charging speeds with you on things like road trips or quick errands will be a major convenience. The unfortunate thing about the new OnePlus SuperVOOC car charger, however, is that it won’t support all devices.

The charger features two USB ports: one USB-A that supports 80W charging speeds and one USB-C that supports 30W speeds with Power Delivery (PD) standard. If you’re looking to make use of the 80W charging speeds from the USB-A port, you’ll need to be using a OnePlus phone like the 10T or 10 Pro. Otherwise, you’ll need to stick to the 30W charging of the USB-C port. Admittedly, 30W charging is still pretty solid, especially for a car charger, but the fact that only OnePlus devices support 80W charging is a bit disappointing.

While the lack of overall 80W charging support across the board isn’t ideal, it’s to be expected. The OnePlus 10T, which was finally revealed in full today, has similar charging requirements for the adapter that comes in its box. The included charger juices up the 10T at 125W, but if you plug in a non-OnePlus device, you don’t get the full 125W power.

It’s also worth noting that, like other dual-USB chargers, the SuperVOOC 80W charger takes a major dip in terms of output when connected to two devices. It’ll still charge both devices, but will be capped at 63W shared between both ports. That’s to be expected and, honestly, 63W total for two devices is still decent. Just don’t expect your OnePlus devices to be back up and running as quickly when it’s charging an additional device.

The OnePlus SuperVOOC 80W car charger launches on September 1 in North America for $39. There’s currently no word on if it’ll be launching in other regions.

Is the OnePlus 11 waterproof, and does it have an IP rating?

The back of the OnePlus 11 against some ice.

You’re about to buy a OnePlus 11, but want to know if the phone has any degree of protection from the wet stuff. Is the OnePlus 11 waterproof, and does it have an IP rating?

This is an important question to ask before buying any smartphone. As careful as you may think you are with your devices, life happens. All it takes is one accident to drop your phone in the sink, get caught in the rain with it, or for it to take a tumble in the pool. If you have an IP rating, these things aren't a big deal. But if not, you're in for a headache.

The OnePlus 11 totally changed my mind about OnePlus phones

OnePlus has looked all at sea recently, as it struggled to come to terms with huge changes that seemingly affected every part of the business — from the way it designs phones to the software it uses on them. Anyone who has followed OnePlus from the beginning will have an idea of how disruptive this likely was, as the Never Settle company always seemed to fiercely pride itself on individualism and doing something different.

The OnePlus 10T was evidence of this. A phone entirely out of place with the brand’s previous devices, poorly marketed, and — worst of all — not very good. It made me approach the OnePlus 11 with trepidation, deliberately lowering my expectations before using it. But my caution wasn’t warranted. The OnePlus 11 rights the wrongs the OnePlus 10T inflicted on us, and puts OnePlus right back to where it belongs: on our recommended list.

OnePlus 11 colors: every style you can get for the phone

The highly-anticipated OnePlus 11 has arrived, breathing some fresh air back into the popular smartphone lineup. Last year's somewhat disappointing OnePlus 10T made many OnePlus enthusiasts question the company's direction, but thankfully, the OnePlus 11 is here to help restore any lost faith in the brand.

Not only does the OnePlus 11 bring back everything that's great about OnePlus under the hood, but it also takes the classy look of the OnePlus 10 Pro in a whole new direction with a rounded camera module that feels like it finally deserves to have the name Hasselblad stamped onto it. As with last year's OnePlus 10 and OnePlus 10T, the company has kept the color options simple yet stunning. There are only two to choose from, but they're both still just as gorgeous as last year's selections — and OnePlus is still setting it apart from other smartphone makers by also distinguishing its models by the different finishes used for each color. Here are the OnePlus 11 colors you get to choose from!
