I think this is the best charging cable ever – here's why
If you're anything like me, you've got more than two gadgets on you at all times – oftentimes a lot more. I've got a smartphone, smartwatch, and fitness tracker, which is the bare minimum. And there's nothing worse than having to carry around different adapters and chargers for various devices. But OnePlus has come up with a charging cable that I think is perfect. 2-in-1 chargers are nothing new, but they're a bit bulky – even the ones that fold. That's why OnePlus's solution is genius. It's just a charging cable, but it can juice up your smartwatch as well. Read more: Best wireless charger in 2025 including charging stands and pads OnePlus' new cable combines a USB-C plug for your phone, a unique OnePlus smartwatch connector, and a USB-A end to plug into your power brick of choice. Unfortunately, that POGO Pin connector for the watch means it's strictly a OnePlus-only party – you won't be able to use it with Galaxy or Apple Watches. But if you're in the OnePlus ecosystem, this cable is as close to perfect as you can get. Although, I do wish it was USB-C at both ends. When plugged in, your phone gets 80W of charging power on its own, or 67W if your smartwatch is also in on the action. The watch pulls a respectable 10W itself. This is much faster than most other 2-in-1 chargers, since they're wireless. Plus, the cable measures 1.2 metres, so you won't have to crouch next to an outlet to use it. The OnePlus 2-in-1 SUPERVOOC cable is available to order from the OnePlus store. It'll set you back $30/£25, which is on the pricey side for a cable, but not too shabby for a 2-in-1 charger. If you're a OnePlus phone and watch owner, it might just be the most useful travel gadget to throw in a bag.

OnePlus 13 series update: AI Plus Mind feature for quick content capture and organisation
OnePlus 13 update: OnePlus 13 AI Plus Mind update is rolling out now, bringing a powerful new way to manage on-screen content with intelligent ease on OnePlus. The Plus Mind feature lets users instantly save images, text, social posts, and web pages into a smart hub called Mind Space—capturing key details like dates or event info at a tap or swipe . Over time, AI categorizes, tags, and even prompts context-aware actions, such as adding events to your calendar or summarizing important data. Whether triggered by the new Plus Key or a three-finger gesture, this update elevates OxygenOS from reactive software to a proactive assistant. With Google Gemini integration on the horizon, OnePlus is positioning its flagship series at the forefront of mobile AI innovation. Read on to discover how this update supercharges productivity in daily life. Plus mind feature on OnePlus 13 series The Plus Mind feature may retain data, including photos, texts, social media postings, and even site pages, according to OnePlus' news release. Users of the OnePlus 13 and OnePlus 13R can activate this feature by swiping up on their screen with three fingers, as opposed to the OnePlus 13s, which has a dedicated Plus Key for it. After that, it will analyze the data and recommend pertinent actions to the user, including highlighting important dates on the screen and noting them in the Calendar app. In order to analyze the content and perform functions like creating descriptions, translating it into the user's native tongue, marking it for convenient sorting, and offering more information, it makes use of OnePlus AI technology. They can then access the collected data in the Mind Space, a centralized center. The business provided an event poster example. The event date is automatically added to the user's calendar when the Plus Mind feature is activated on the screen. In the meantime, important information is also recorded and added to the Mind Space Center. On a fashion website, the same gesture will, instead, analyze the content and provide a summary of the "looks on display." According to the business, consumers can access the web page using a simple shortcut and remember this information by going to the central hub later. On a fashion website, a three-finger swipe-up will cause Plus Mind to analyze the page and summarize the styles on exhibit. At a later time, a user can revisit this information in their Mind Space and utilize a simple tap to navigate back to the homepage. After the upgrade, the new Mind Space feature is being released on the OnePlus 13 series. It is accessible through the AI Search bar's natural language search or the app drawer. A straightforward swipe-down motion on the home screen activates the latter.

OnePlus Nord 5 vs Poco F7 5G: Spec-by-spec comparison of mid-range flagships?
India's mid-range smartphone market is heating up with the launch of two powerful devices: the OnePlus Nord 5, launched today (July 8), and the Poco F7 5G, which made its debut in June 2025. Both smartphones offer premium designs and AI-driven features and are priced aggressively to attract users looking for flagship-level performance without the flagship price tag. Here is a detailed, on-paper comparison of the two handsets. In terms of pricing, both brands are targeting the same price segment but with slightly different configurations. The OnePlus Nord 5 starts at ₹ 31,999 for the base 8GB RAM + 128GB storage model. It is also available in 12GB + 256GB and 12GB + 512GB variants, priced at ₹ 34,999 and ₹ 37,999, respectively. Colour options include Dry Ice, Marble Sands, and Phantom Grey. The smartphone goes on sale starting 12 PM on July 9. The Poco F7 5G, meanwhile, is priced at ₹ 31,999 for the 12GB + 256GB variant and ₹ 33,999 for the 12GB + 512GB model, undercutting OnePlus' higher storage models. Poco offers its device in Cyber Silver Edition, Frost White, and Phantom Black. Both smartphones feature a large 6.83-inch AMOLED display, though there are notable differences in screen quality. The OnePlus Nord 5 offers a refresh rate of up to 144Hz, a peak brightness of 1,800 nits, and a smooth user interface enhanced by the company's OxygenOS 15. On the other hand, the Poco F7 5G delivers a 1.5K resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, and a class-leading 3,200 nits peak brightness, along with HDR10+ certification and Corning Gorilla Glass 7i protection. In terms of design, the Nord 5 is slightly lighter at 211 grams with an IP65 rating for dust and splash resistance. Poco's device, however, is more rugged, featuring a metal frame, glass back, and triple IP ratings (IP66, IP68, IP69), offering greater durability. Under the hood, both smartphones run on Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8s platform, but the generations differ. The Nord 5 is powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3, while the Poco F7 5G boasts the newer Snapdragon 8s Gen 4. Both are paired with LPDDR5X RAM and up to 512GB storage, promising fast multitasking and storage speeds. The Nord 5 runs on OxygenOS 15 based on Android 15, whereas the Poco F7 5G is powered by HyperOS 2.0, Xiaomi's custom Android 15-based interface. Poco also gets a notable advantage with its long-term software support, offering four years of Android updates and six years of security patches, compared to OnePlus. On the camera front, both devices feature 50MP primary sensors, but the sensor types and front camera specs differ. The OnePlus Nord 5 uses a Sony LYT-700 sensor with OIS for its main rear camera, along with an 8MP ultrawide lens. The front camera is a standout, offering a high-resolution 50MP Samsung ISOCELL JN5 sensor for selfies. In comparison, the Poco F7 5G also features a 50MP Sony IMX882 sensor and an 8MP ultrawide, but the front camera is limited to 20MP. While both setups are capable, OnePlus may appeal more to selfie enthusiasts. Battery life and charging are areas where Poco takes the lead. The Indian variant of the Poco F7 5G houses a 7,550mAh battery, supporting 90W fast charging and 22.5W reverse charging, making it ideal for power users. The Nord 5, while still impressive, includes a 6,800mAh battery with 80W SuperVOOC charging. Additionally, Poco integrates a 3D IceLoop cooling system and AI-based thermal regulation to optimise performance during gaming or heavy multitasking — features not highlighted in the Nord 5's specs. In terms of connectivity, both phones support modern standards like 5G, NFC, GPS, and USB Type-C. However, Poco edges ahead once again with Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6.0, while the Nord 5 features Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.4. OnePlus does include an IR blaster and a programmable Plus Key, which adds a degree of customisability and convenience. To sum up, both the OnePlus Nord 5 and the Poco F7 5G offer excellent value and performance in the sub- ₹ 40,000 category. The Nord 5 delivers a high refresh rate screen, large front camera, and unique hardware features like the Plus Key and IR blaster. However, the Poco F7 5G appears more aggressive on paper, with a newer chipset, brighter and more durable display, longer software support, advanced AI integration, and a bigger battery with faster charging.
