The OnePlus 10 Pro is packed full of the company’s best features. However, US buyers are getting a small downgrade in super fast-charging power: While global variants of the phone ship with an 80W Supervooc charger, North America has to settle for a 65W plug.

‘Supervooc’ is Oppo’s intellectual property. OnePlus is now adopting Oppo’s branding for its charging technology instead of the previous ‘Warp Charge’ moniker.
According to OnePlus, “80W Supervooc does not currently support 110- or 120-volt AC power — the typical standard for power outlets in [North America].” Of course, it’s not impossible to build an 80W plug that would work with 120 volts, suggesting that Oppo doesn’t see a great cost-to-benefit ratio investing in slightly faster charging for some customers.
