OnePlus 10 Pro, in its Global guise, is about to arrive but it seems that in some areas it will have the same charging power. In fact, although charging at 80W is confirmed, in some countries, it will charge with lower power and we will explain the reasons.
The charging issue of the OnePlus 10 Pro Global is added to that of the presence of an additional microphone placed in the camera bumper. And, not surprisingly, this situation arises once again in the US. In fact, as announced by the brand itself in its Community.
Although for Europe and India it will be equipped with SuperVOOC charging at 80W (as well as in the Chinese model), in the American one we will have the charging confirmed at 65W compared to OnePlus 9 Pro, that would remain unchanged. 50W wireless.
But why was this choice made? Actually, it seems that the 80W SuperVOOC charger does not currently support 110 or 120 Volt AC power, which is the American region power output standard. In short, it seems that OnePlus users in the USA, a market in which it is very competitive, maybe slightly disappointed by what they will find with the new flagship. Of course, as long as someone doesn’t prefer slower charging in relation to battery wear.
So, summing up, if you find yourself buying a OnePlus 10 Pro model and find a 65W charger, now you know why and therefore if you want 80W charging, you will have to rely on the European model (which yes, it probably could cost more, but has full support).
