How fast is the OnePlus 13 charging speed?

The OnePlus 13 has a 100W SuperVOOC fast charging speed and a 6,000mAh battery. The North American variant comes with 80W SUPERVOOC and 50W AIRVOOC, as was the case with the OnePlus 12.

What does the 100W charging speed mean?

The latest phone from OnePlus has impressive specs, including its charging speed. Like the global variant of the previous-gen OnePlus 12, the OnePlus 13 has a charging speed of 100W but only with the correct USB-C charger from OnePlus. Much like Samsung, Google, and Apple, OnePlus uses its charging spec called SuperVOOC charging. This allows you to change your OnePlus 13 from zero to 100 percent in only 36 minutes. Still, OnePlus reminds users that the charging speed can vary based on the specific charging environment. Additionally, OnePlus says that with a 1% charge, you can enjoy 13 hours of standby time or 56 minutes of runtime for text chats.

The latest OnePlus 13 also supports wireless charging and can deliver 50W wireless charging, but there is a catch. As with the phone's 100W wired charging, you need to use the OnePlus wireless charger for the US model to get that speed wirelessly. It also has 5W reverse wired charging, allowing you to charge other devices via a USB-C cable, such as your smartwatch or another phone. So, if you need a USB-C cable, you can grab one from one of the best USB-C cables from the list we've put together.

Because of differences in the electrical systems, the US version of the OnePlus 13 has a slightly slower charging speed than the global version. The US model can only charge at 80W out of the box, but you must get the special adapter if you need the full 100W. The global version can charge at the full 100W without the special adapter.

Even though fast charging can be a huge help when you need to charge your phone as fast as possible, it can also generate heat. Heat only damages your phone's battery, reducing battery performance, life span, and capacity. Even though the latest smartphones are made to manage heat better, it's best to avoid overheating by not using your phone for things such as gaming or other heavy-duty activities while it's charging. If you want to get more out of the charge, it's best to go with wired charging since it's more efficient than wireless.
