I'm making the jump from my trusty OnePlus 8T finally (battery is barely holding a charge for half a day now, ugh), and I've been eyeing the OnePlus 14. I know the proprietary charging tech is super fast, but I'm kinda freaking out over which brick to actually buy since the box usually doesn't include one anymore.

I spent the last few hours digging through Reddit and some tech blogs—most people just point to the official 100W SuperVOOC charger, but then I saw a few forum threads saying third-party PPS chargers might work decently well too (though speeds drop down significantly for PD/PPS compared to proprietary protocols, if I understood the voltage matching stuff correctly... wait, is that right?).

My budget is around $40-$50 for the block and cable combo. I really need something reliable that won't fry the dual-cell battery, especially since I plan on keeping this phone for at least 4 years. Camera and battery life are my main priorities btw, I don't care about wireless charging much.

So I was thinking about grabbing the 80W OnePlus brick just to save a few bucks, but will I regret not getting the max wattage one? Has anyone actually tested the 14 with non-OnePlus adapters yet?
