OnePlus has confirmed that the OnePlus 8T 5G will come with support for Warp Charge 65, which is the company’s 65W fast charging technology.

OnePlus 8T 5G will be launching on October 14 at 7:30 PM IST / 10 AM ET. Ahead of the launch, the device has already appeared in leaked renders. Moreover, the key specs have also been leaked. It appeared online in a 360-degree video as well. Now, the company has confirmed that it will support 65W fast charge technology.

After confirming the presence of 120Hz refresh rate, OnePlus has confirmed that the OnePlus 8T 5G will come with support for Warp Charge 65, which is the company’s new 65W fast charging technology. It is teased to be capable of charging the phone’s 4500mAh battery from 0 to 100% in 39 minutes, and almost 58% in just 15 minutes. The company is teasing “A day’s power in 15 minutes.” It is likely to use a dual-cell battery setup to support 65W fast charging.
