OnePlus has addressed a common pain point for Android users by introducing a travel-friendly charging solution that eliminates the need for multiple cables. While iPhone users have enjoyed numerous 2-in-1 and 3-in-1 charging options for years, Android ecosystem users have faced limited choices, particularly when it comes to portable solutions that don't sacrifice charging speed.
Revolutionary Cable Design with Integrated Watch Charger
The new 2-in-1 SUPERVOOC Cable takes an innovative approach by integrating the POGO PIN charging connector directly into the cable itself, rather than using a separate charging dock or stand. The 1.2-meter cable features a magnetic charging puck positioned in the middle, with a USB-A connector on one end and a USB-C connector on the other. This design eliminates the risk of losing or forgetting separate charging components while traveling, making it significantly more portable than traditional multi-device charging solutions.

Impressive Fast Charging Performance for Dual Devices
Unlike most 2-in-1 chargers that typically deliver only 20-30W to phones, OnePlus's solution maintains exceptional charging speeds. When charging a compatible OnePlus phone alone, the cable delivers the full 80W SUPERVOOC fast charging power. Even when simultaneously charging both a phone and watch, the system intelligently distributes power, providing 67W to the smartphone and 10W to the watch. This represents a minimal compromise in charging speed while offering the convenience of dual-device charging.
Enhanced Safety and Compatibility Features
OnePlus has incorporated several safety measures into the cable design, including an E-marker smart chip that provides overload protection and ensures stable power delivery. The cable utilizes thickened pure copper cores to enhance both charging speed and safety. The distinctive design features OnePlus's signature aesthetic with a bright red cable coating and white connector housings. The magnetic POGO PIN connector is compatible with all current OnePlus watches, including the OnePlus Watch 2, 2R, and Watch 3.

Competitive Pricing and Market Positioning
Priced at USD 29.99, the 2-in-1 SUPERVOOC Cable offers compelling value compared to other premium 2-in-1 charging solutions available for Samsung and Google devices. This pricing matches the cost of a standalone OnePlus Watch charger, making it an attractive upgrade for existing OnePlus ecosystem users. However, customers should note that the cable doesn't include a power adapter, requiring a SUPERVOOC power brick to achieve the advertised charging speeds.
The launch represents OnePlus's continued focus on ecosystem integration and user convenience, particularly targeting users who have invested in both OnePlus smartphones and wearables. The cable is now available through official OnePlus channels, offering a practical solution for users seeking to streamline their charging setup without compromising on performance.
