5 Useful Accessories Every OnePlus Owner Needs

OnePlus has created a niche for itself with its relatively high value for money smartphones, featuring large batteries and proprietary fast charging technology. The company also offers a fairly broad product portfolio in the United States, which, in addition to smartphones, includes well-rated smartwatches, audio equipment and tablets. While most OnePlus products have something to help them stand out in a fairly crowded mobile device market, you can improve your experience of owning a OnePlus device with the right accessories.

You generally won’t be looking for a wired charger, as OnePlus, unlike most other Android phone brands, provides one in the box in its US models. That said, there are plenty of other accessories you can pair with your OnePlus phone, like a good case, car charger, earphones, and more. The OnePlus Watch 3 is also a good companion device for your OnePlus phone; however, as these appear to be stock issues, we do not recommend this. That said, if you can find it in stock, it’s certainly worth considering.

If you own any of the company’s recent flagships, including the OnePlus 15 and OnePlus 13, you have access to 50W wireless charging, a feature that isn’t very common among smartphones. However, to use it, you need a compatible wireless charger, and the company’s Airvooc 50W Magnetic Charger is your best bet, as the OnePlus Airvooc 50W Wireless Charger is out of stock at the time of writing. It can fully charge a OnePlus 13 from empty in just 75 minutes.

As a proprietary charger, it is fully compatible, giving your phone the best possible charging speeds. Additionally, it has several built-in cooling technologies, including a fan, to ensure that the charger and your phone do not overheat, resulting in charging speed throttling. As the name suggests, this is a magnetic charger, which makes it particularly suitable for cases with built-in magnets; However, you can also just place your OnePlus phone on it with proper alignment, and it will work. You can also use it with non-OnePlus smartphones. It will cost you $80 and comes in just one white color.

Since OnePlus doesn’t sell an official Supervooc-compatible car charger in the US, the Spigen ArcStation Essential USB-C Fast Car Charger is a good alternative. Since it has three ports, including two USB-C, you can charge multiple devices simultaneously. Plus, its support for USB Power Delivery (USB PD) and Programmable Power Supply (PPS) means you can get reasonable charging speeds on your OnePlus phone, even at Supervooc level speeds. PPS chargers have been observed enabling up to 55W wired charging on OnePlus phones, according to testing by ChargerLab. Regular USB PD charging is generally limited to around 25W.

The Spigen offering has a compact design and comes with a USB-C to USB-C cable that you can use with your OnePlus phone, as the company normally ships a Supervooc USB-A to USB-C cable in the box. Its list price is $30 and buyers confirm compatibility with OnePlus phones.

Although OnePlus usually provides a basic case in the box, if you want something more protective or feature-rich, the Tudia MergeGrip is a solid choice. It is available for most OnePlus smartphones, including the OnePlus 15 and 15R, and features a dual-layer design for superior protection. The company claims it can handle drops of up to four feet. It also has a raised lip to protect the phone from surface scratches and features textured sides for added grip. However, not all buyers are satisfied with its grip.

Most importantly, it has built-in magnets, allowing you to use essential MagSafe gadgets as well as the OnePlus Airvooc 50W magnetic charger for super-fast wireless charging. The price varies depending on your phone model, with the OnePlus 15 version costing $26.59. You can also choose from several color options. Buyers are generally happy with it and like its fit and build quality.

The OnePlus Supervooc 2-in-1 Cable is quite an interesting accessory in the company’s portfolio and can be a great option for anyone using a OnePlus smartphone and smartwatch. The cable, which will work perfectly with the wired charger your phone comes with, has a pogo-pin dock built into the middle that you can use to charge your smartwatch. This eliminates the need to carry two separate cables or a multiport power supply with you. Most importantly, you don’t lose any of the fast charging capabilities of your OnePlus devices.

The cable will charge your OnePlus phone at 67W and smartwatch at 10W. It supports OnePlus Watch 3, Watch 2 and 2R as well as all USB-C smartphones. The total cable length is 3.9 feet, which is enough to meet most people’s needs. The cable is available for $24 on the OnePlus website. However, you can sometimes find it at a discount.

If you want a pair of reasonably priced wireless earbuds for your OnePlus phone, the company’s Buds 4 may be a great choice. These offer good sound quality via the two included speakers: an 11mm woofer and a 6mm tweeter. You also have the option to adjust the sound with the six-band equalizer. Other features include active noise cancellation, an IP55 rating for dust and water resistance, 5.5 to 6 hours of continuous playback with ANC enabled, and high-quality built-in microphones. The charging case can add 16.5-18 hours of battery life.

Although the OnePlus Buds 4 are mostly platform agnostic, there are a few features that you get exclusively as a OnePlus smartphone owner. For example, you get support for LHDC 5.0, which enables high-resolution audio transmission via Bluetooth and lets you play quality music up to 24-bit/192kHz from your favorite streaming services or local collection. Although LHDC 5.0 is not exclusive to OnePlus, the company currently appears to be the only one in the US market to include support in its phones.

You can also double-tap either earbud to remotely act as a shutter control for your phone’s camera. Plus, built-in AI translation works in three clicks and you get support for Steady Connect, which improves Bluetooth connectivity to reduce dropouts with your OnePlus phone. You’ll have to pay $130 at list price for the OnePlus Buds 4; However, you can often find them for $100 after discounts.

In choosing useful accessories for OnePlus owners, we focused on companion devices that are best suited to the majority of people. We avoided accessories typically included in the box of a OnePlus smartphone, like a wired power brick or a basic case, and selected options that add more value or bring better features. We also took into account buyer reviews as well as expert reviews where available to recommend only high-quality gadgets. All of our recommendations are fully compatible with the company’s current selection of OnePlus phones and several older devices.
