My trusty OnePlus 7 finally gave up the ghost—the battery barely hits noon and the camera is just a blurry mess now. I just pulled the trigger on the OnePlus 13, but I’m honestly super confused about the wireless charging situation. I read a few Reddit threads praising the 50W AirVOOC stand, but others claim generic Qi2 pads are fine if you aren't in a rush. I’m on a bit of a budget after the phone upgrade (which hurt the wallet, let me tell you), so is the proprietary stand actually necessary to get decent speeds? Or is there a reliable third-party alternative that won't overheat? Seriously, what charger should I actually buy?

Honestly, skip that overpriced proprietary stand—it’s just marketing fluff. Better to grab something simple for cheap.
- Belkin BoostCharge 15W Pad
- Anker PowerWave Pad 10W Don't overspend on the hype.

To add to the point above: if you're on a budget, don't overspend on the proprietary stand unless you strictly need that 50W burst. I've tested the Xiaomi Mi 20W Wireless Charging Stand and it works surprisingly well for the price, managing heat better than most generic pads. If you just want standard Qi speeds, the Baseus Simple 15W Wireless Charger is a steal. You'll get consistent trickle charging for way less cash.

Man, I feel your pain. I just went through this whole rabbit hole last week after grabbing my own 13. I'm no expert but I did a ton of digging because I didnt wanna fry my new phone or waste cash on a brick that charges like a snail. Basically, if you want that crazy fast 50W speed, you honestly have to suck it up and go proprietary. Nothing else is gonna tickle the AirVOOC sensors the right way. But if you just need something for overnight, any generic pad is totally fine. Here is what I found:
- OnePlus 50W AirVOOC Wireless Charger
- Expensive, but it is the only way to get full speed. It stays cool and is built for the phone.
- Anker MagGo Wireless Charger 3-in-1
- If you just want something for the nightstand, this is super reliable and wont overheat. It just wont give you those fast charging stats.
- Spigen ArcField Wireless Charger
- A solid budget pick if you just need a standard pad for your desk. Ngl, if you are really on a budget, just grab a cheap standard pad for now. Save up for the official stand later if you find yourself really needing that lightning fast juice. Its kinda annoying how they lock those speeds, but it is what it is...
