OnePlus’ OxygenOS is getting a new feature called ‘Optimised Charging’ which is aimed at protecting your OnePlus device from overheating while charging. This feature will track the user sleep cycle and comes in extremely handy for the users who put their OnePlus device to charge while going to sleep during the night. According to OnePlus, this feature will not charge the device to 100% overnight and the battery will be charged to 80% initially. With the help of the user sleep cycle detection feature, the battery will fully charge before you wake up. The feature will get better over time as OxygenOS will learn your sleeping patterns. That said, it’s a completely optional feature and the users can enable or disable it via battery settings.

What is OnePlus’ Optimised Charging Feature?
OnePlus disrupted the smartphone market when it introduced the ‘Dash Charging’ feature back with the OnePlus 3. Back then, everyone wondered how OnePlus managed to achieve it as there were concerns about phone overheating while charging. However, OnePlus used a different technique of providing fast charging via the charging brick and not within the smartphone.
The Optimised Charging feature for OnePlus smartphones will charge the battery 80% initially and suspend the charging temporarily. The charging will stop using the company’s new ‘user sleep cycle detection’ feature. OnePlus says the smartphone will start charging 100 minutes before you daily wake up time or first alarm or the first event of the day. Once the charging resumes, it will charge the device to 100%.
