So, you’ve upgraded to the OnePlus 11. A sleek design, powerful performance, and of course, that headline-grabbing 100W fast charging. Sounds like a dream, right? Well, hold on tight because this might be more of a charging nightmare than you expected! In this blog post, we’ll break down exactly what you’re not being told about the OnePlus 11’s charging situation.
If you thought you were getting lightning-fast charging anytime, anywhere, you might be in for a shock. And trust us—by the end of this post, you’ll want to watch our video to see the full story! Let’s dive into why this "charging beast" might leave you stranded without a lifeline.
The 100W Fast Charging Hype – What's the Catch? 🚀
Expectation vs. Reality
When you hear "100W fast charging," you likely imagine plugging in your phone for just a few minutes and getting hours of battery life. That’s what most of the advertising suggests, and yes, under the right conditions, the OnePlus 11 does charge incredibly fast. But what they don’t tell you is that several factors can dramatically slow down your charging speeds.
Here's the truth:
- Cable Compatibility: Not all cables can handle 100W of power. If you’re using a third-party cable or even an older OnePlus charger, you won’t get the full speed. The bundled cable is your best bet—but who wants to carry it around all the time?
- Charging Temperature: Fast charging generates heat, and when the phone gets too hot, the OnePlus 11 automatically reduces the charging speed to avoid damage. That means your 100W dream could drop down to a sluggish trickle.
- Battery Degradation: Over time, your phone's ability to charge fast can decrease. While the OnePlus 11 is designed to prevent extreme wear on the battery, you might notice slower charging speeds after months of use.

The Cable Dilemma: Why You May Need More Than One 😳
The Importance of the Right Cable
Here’s where the charging frustration really begins: the cable itself. OnePlus includes a 100W charging brick and cable in the box, but what happens if you lose it or forget it at home? Your typical USB-C cable probably won’t cut it. Not only will you get slower charging speeds, but some cables might not work at all.
Imagine this: You’re out for the day, your battery is almost dead, and the only charger around is an older USB-C cable. You plug it in and… nothing. Or worse, it charges at a snail’s pace, leaving you anxiously checking the percentage while waiting forever.
In the video, we test several different cables, and the results are both eye-opening and infuriating. If you’re not using the official OnePlus cable, you’re rolling the dice on whether your phone will charge quickly—or at all.
Buying Backup Cables: Not as Simple as You Think
You might think, "I’ll just buy a backup cable." But here's the twist: not all "fast charging" cables are created equal. Many third-party options advertised as “fast charging” might only support 30W or 60W—a far cry from the promised 100W.
- Certified 100W cables can be hard to find.
- Low-quality cables can actually damage your phone over time.

Heat and Charging: The Slower the Hotter! 🔥
Another major issue with the OnePlus 11's charging is heat management. Fast charging generates a lot of heat, and if your phone gets too hot, it will slow down the charging speed to protect the battery. This is especially true if you’re using your phone while it’s charging—say, to watch videos or play games.
Here’s the problem: even though the OnePlus 11 has excellent cooling systems, the temperature of your environment and the way you use your phone while charging can severely impact how quickly it charges. In some cases, your phone could drop down to standard charging speeds until it cools down.
Avoid Overheating:
- Charge in cool environments.
- Avoid heavy phone usage while charging.
- Remove the case to help the phone dissipate heat faster.
These are all tips that the manufacturer won’t tell you, but they’re crucial if you want to make the most of that 100W power!

Why You Need to Watch This Before Upgrading!
By now, you’re probably wondering whether that 100W fast charging is worth the hype. The OnePlus 11 is an incredible phone in many respects, but the charging experience might not be as flawless as you’ve been led to believe.
