OnePlus last launched a 10,000mAh power bank in 2015. And even though the company has kept improving its proprietary wired charging standard over the years, it is yet to be ported over to a power bank form factor. It seems that OnePlus is now certainly set to launch a power bank with fast charging capacity. OnePlus co-founder Carl Pei has mentioned on Twitter that a OnePlus power bank with fast charging aid might go endorsed soon. And with the OnePlus 8 series inclined to be launched next month, what better time to pull a double whammy than propelling a fast charging power bank and also definitely combining wireless charging support to the Smartphones.
Pei’s tweet is not a confirmation per se, but given the demand from fans and the nature of Pei’s tweet, it appears that OnePlus might pull off a surprise and launch a power bank with fast charging capability soon.
As of now, no leaks have surfaced so far regarding OnePlus’ plans of launching a power bank with fast charging support, which means we are completely in the dark regarding its design, capacity, or the pricing at the moment. OnePlus has reiterated on multiple occasions that if a charging technology – be it wireless or in this case, power banks – matches up to its wired charging standards.
Interestingly, OnePlus might also produce another highly demanded characteristic to the board soon, wireless charging support. OnePlus newly entered the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC), the industry body that manages the expansion of wireless charging patterns. News also imply that wireless charging will eventually make its access to OnePlus Smartphones, beginning with the OnePlus 8 Pro.
