Upcoming OnePlus flagship wont feature wireless charging, confirms Pete Lau

Highlights: Wireless charging won't debut on the upcoming OnePlus flagship, Pete Lau confirms. OnePlus believes the tech is not fast enough to match the 'Warp Charge' speeds. The next OnePlus phone is expected to be powered by the Snapdragon 855. OnePlus still believes wireless charging is at a nascent stage, and as such, the technology won’t feature in the upcoming OnePlus flagship, Pete Lau confirmed to CNET. Instead, the upcoming flagship, probably named the OnePlus 7, will come with Warp Charge, which Lau believes is “one of the best” in the industry. Until wireless charging is capable of delivering similar charging speeds without heating up, OnePlus won’t consider introducing the tech in its phones. However, Qualcomm did give a boost to the wireless charging standards by debuting Quick Charge for wireless charging at MWC 2019. Lau also stated OnePlus is working on making wireless charging faster without heating up, but didn’t reveal a specific timeline as to when we can see that in action on a OnePlus device. It’s also unlikely that OnePlus will adopt Qualcomm’s Quick Charge standards, given its Warp Charge speeds are much higher in comparison. The company did confirm the next OnePlus device will launch with the flagship Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 under the hood. The rest of the specs remain unknown, but it’s expected the phone will come with an Android 9-Pie based OxygenOS UI. A recently leaked photo even suggested the phone could be all-screen on the front, with a pop-up selfie camera. OnePlus also showcased its 5G prototype at the Qualcomm booth at MWC 2019. It’s covered in a case and one can only see the device’s screen. It’s confirmed to be powered by the Snapdragon 855 SoC and uses the Snapdragon X50 modem for 5G connectivity. The 5G flagship is expected to launch in May 2019 and could be priced $200-$300 higher than the previous OnePlus flagship.

First ever drone-delivered kidney is no worse for wear

Drone delivery really only seems practical for two things: take-out and organ transplants. Both are relatively light and also extremely time sensitive. Well, experiments in flying a kidney around Baltimore in a refrigerated box have yielded positive results — which also seems promising for getting your pad thai to you in good kit. The test flights were conducted by researchers at the University of Maryland there, led by surgeon Joseph Scalea. He has been frustrated in the past with the inflexibility of air delivery systems, and felt that drones represent an obvious solution to the last-mile problem. Scalea and his colleagues modified a DJI M600 drone to carry a refrigerated box payload, and also designed a wireless biosensor for monitoring the organ while in flight. After months of waiting, their study was assigned a kidney that was healthy enough for testing but not good enough for transplant. Once it landed in Baltimore, the team loaded it into the container and had it travel 14 ...
