The OnePlus 8 Pro which is scheduled to launch in May.
About six years ago, alittle small Chinese startup named
OnePlus made big waves within the smartphone industry, an accomplishment that
even big tech firms like Google struggle with today. OnePlus won over hardcore
Android fans with their smartphones that had slick software and specs that
rivaled Samsung and Apple phones for a fraction of the Worth. Their motto was
to never settle, they've always positioned themselves as being an advocate for
the Buyer. In an industry dominated by Samsung and Apple, OnePlus wanted you to
feel like the Corporate was on your side. But soon enough OnePlus started to
look more and more like the flagship smartphone maker sit originally sought to
dethrone. Their phones are getting expensive, they market their phones in the
flagship segment yet they don't offer basic flagship features like the wireless
charging and IP rating. Their excuse for that is wireless charging is inferior
to the company’s Warp Charge standard. I understand OnePlus is obsessed with
speed as its defining trait, but it's the wrong way to evaluate the usefulness
of wireless charging. I agree Wireless charging isn’t as fast as wired
charging, but it can be more convenient. You can have a charging pad at your
desk or next to the bed and just drop your phone thereon. There’s no twiddling with
the plug or accidentally knocking the phone down when your foot gets tangled within
the cable. That’s the worth of wireless charging — it’s not an either/or
situation. People have come to expect premium phones to have this feature and
OnePlus being a premium phone maker was giving excuses not because it was slow,
that's just an excuse but the truth was they were just controlling the prices.

Thankfully, though things will change come OnePlus 8 Pro. OnePlus has joined
WPC, Wireless Power Consortium, the standards group that handles the Qi
wireless charging used by virtually every single smartphone, basically
signifying that their next phone, the OnePlus 8 Pro is guaranteed to have the
wireless charging support. Their excuse all these years was that wireless
charging is slower but companies like Xiaomi have come up with 30W of wireless
charging standard which by the way is faster than OnePlus's wired warp charge,
so that left OnePlus with no choice but to include this charging standard on
their next phone.

So OnePlus thinks that foldable phones are not good enough.
Their CEO was interviewed by the Verge where he said that they haven't found
the many advantage or value that’s brought by the foldable smartphones that
aren’t outweighed by the shortcomings or the disadvantages of the present state
of the technology. He said that the present foldable phones have a crease within
the middle which he cannot accept in products that he builds. Also, he doesn't
like the plastic display of the foldable phones. Kinda ironic for him to say
that. I mean he's performing on a disappearing rear camera tech that allows you
to hide your back cameras, a tech that literally nobody needs. Yes, I do agree
that foldables right now aren't perfect. But that doesn't mean you can say it
has little no value. An 8" or 9" tablet that can turn into a phone
which can be pocketable isn't valuable? It's a thousand times more useful than
the tech that OnePlus is working that literally no one needs. You know the
actual reason OnePlus isn't working on foldables right now is that they don't
have the funds, the resources to invest in this technology. Let me know your
thoughts down in the comments and I'll see you again..Thanks for reading!
