Even this adorable tiny charging puck can't make me love wireless charging. In fact, I now hate it even more.

I love the OnePlus 13, but the official wireless charger is just maddening

I’m a chaotic gadget charger, topping up my phone as and when rather than sticking to a rigorous overnight routine like a normal person. As such, you might think that wireless charging would be right up my street — pop the phone down, give it a little juice, and be back on my way.

Unfortunately, wireless charging is notoriously slow, meaning that even half an hour on the dock is seldom enough for me. Thankfully, a few brands, mainly from China, offer fast(er) wireless charging capabilities — including OnePlus. These bulky and often noisy docks put me off, but I’ve been testing out the brilliant OnePlus 13 and its tiny AIRVOOC 50W Magnetic Charger accessory for a few days to see if it can change my mind.
