Finally making the jump and upgrading from my aging OnePlus 7T (which has served me well, but the battery barely holds a charge for half a day now and the camera is just not cutting it anymore). I am super hyped for the OnePlus 13—mostly because I desperately need all-day battery life and a reliable camera for my upcoming trips, while still keeping a somewhat manageable size (though phones are huge these days, what can you do).

Anyway, I'm trying to get my desk and nightstand set up for it ahead of time. I know the 13 supports that super fast wireless charging (AirVOOC, right?), but proprietary tech always confuses me. I was digging through Reddit and some old forum threads—saw a bunch of people swearing by the official OnePlus 50W AIRVOOC charger, but others saying third-party Qi2 pucks are fine if you just want overnight trickle charging.

Here is what I'm trying to figure out:

• Do I actually need to buy the expensive first-party dock to get decent speeds, or do standard Qi wireless pads work okay without overheating the phone?
• Are there any reliable third-party stands that hit the sweet spot for charging speed and cost?

I just don't want to waste money on a brick that charges slower than a potato. Oh wait, I almost forgot—does the curved-ish screen design on the new model cause any alignment issues with upright vertical stands?

So yeah... Which wireless chargers are actually worth buying for the OnePlus 13?
