Among the OnePlus 8 Pro’s best features is support for Warp Charge 30 wireless charging.

In exchange, you have 30W wireless charging that can hit 50% charge in just 30 minutes, according to OnePlus. That’s just a fraction slower than the wired version of Warp Charge 30, which hits 50% in 23 minutes.
