OnePlus has long been known for its blazing fast charging speeds on its smartphones. However, the company's fast charging technology has always faced a challenge: OnePlus uses its own non-standard SuperVOOC charging technology. As a result, when using regular USB PD chargers, you won't achieve the same impressive charging speeds that OnePlus phones are famous for; instead, you'll get "only" around 15-20W speeds at best.
The problem has been exacerbated by the limited availability of SuperVOOC-compatible charging solutions for OnePlus phones. While there have been some improvements, such as OnePlus's own 80W SuperVOOC car charger, the options have remained relatively scarce.
Now, OnePlus has teamed up with the globally recognized brand Sharge, resulting in a SuperVOOC-compatible power bank: the Sharge x OnePlus Pouch. This 10,000 mAh power bank was designed with input from the OnePlus user community.
Beyond rapid charging, the power bank offers a few clever design features. We put it to the test in real-world scenarios for a couple of weeks before its official release. Here are our thoughts on the collaboration between Sharge and OnePlus.
