OnePlus Launches Unique 2-in-1 Charging Cable at a Great Price
In a world filled with premium tech, charging cables often go unnoticed. But OnePlus has just introduced a product that may change your mind—a 2-in-1 charging cable priced far below the competition.
Smart Design for OnePlus Users
The cable, named the OnePlus 2-in-1 SUPERVOOC Cable, features a distinct design. On one end is a USB-A connector, on the other a USB-C. At first glance, it seems ordinary—but the red cable also includes a POGO pin connector built directly into the cable.
Impressive Dual-Device Charging
Thanks to this design, you can charge both your OnePlus phone and a OneWatch smartwatch at the same time—without bulky adapters or multiple cables. The cable supports up to 80W charging for phones (with a compatible charger). When the smartwatch is added, it receives 10W, while the phone continues charging at 67W.
Optimized Device Protection
OnePlus includes a built-in “E-marker smart chip” that safeguards against electrical mishaps, ensuring safe usage. However, the cable does not include a power adapter—you’ll need your own USB-A charger.
Compatibility Details
The POGO pin is compatible with OnePlus Watch 2, Watch 2R, and the new Watch 3 models. It’s also expected to work with the Watch 3 43mm version when it becomes available in the U.S.
Not for Apple Users
Unfortunately, the cable is not compatible with Apple Watch, which uses a proprietary charging interface. Apple users can consider Nomad’s “Universal Cable for Apple Watch,” which includes both Apple Watch charging and USB-C for iPhone.
Price Comparison
The biggest difference lies in the price: while Nomad’s cable costs up to $119, the OnePlus cable is priced at just $29.99—a huge difference for a similar function.
An Opportunity for Expansion
Surprisingly, few tech giants offer similar 2-in-1 charging solutions. Companies like Samsung and Google could easily develop their own versions to enhance their ecosystems.
The OnePlus 2-in-1 SUPERVOOC Cable is an innovative product that delivers useful functionality at an affordable price. While it has some limitations in compatibility, it remains a smart choice for OnePlus users—and may inspire other brands to follow suit.
