OnePlus announced a new charging cable , and this one is actually really clever. OnePlus’ new 2-in-1 USB-C cable can charge your phone and smartwatch at the same time .
OnePlus’ new charging cable is a smart 2-in-1 solution if you own a OnePlus Watch
How exactly? Well, OnePlus actually included a smartwatch charging cradle on the cable itself . So while you’re charging your phone, you can also attach a watch to that charging cradle and charge them both at the same time.
The good thing here is that you can take one cable with you and charge both devices, as the smartwatch charger is already included. Charging them both usually requires two separate accessories. This is an all-in-one ordeal.
This cable can deliver up to 80W of power to a single device, or up to 67W if a OnePlus Watch is also charging. That watch charger has a pogo pin connector that can charge the OnePlus Watch 3, Watch 2, and Watch 2R smartwatches.
It is priced at $29.99
The cable comes in a single length, for better or worse, as it’s 47 inches long. It actually costs the same as the OnePlus Watch Charging Base, which does not come with a USB-C cable. That means the price is $29.99 .
This SuperVOOC charging cable is now available directly from OnePlus. You can grab it from the OnePlus Store in the US, if you’d like. It could be available in other markets as well, though.
If this cable seems familiar to you, perhaps you’ve seen Nomad’s iteration. Nomad offers the Universal Cable for Apple Watch, which features an inline magnetic Apple Watch charger. That cable costs a lot more, though, $100.
Either way, this charging cable from OnePlus has a great price tag, and we can see it be very useful if you own both a OnePlus phone/tablet and a watch. Heck, you can even use it to charge your laptop and a watch if you want.
