Wireless Charging Adapters<\/h3>\n<p>Always the quickest and cheapest option, a trusty wireless charging adapter can convert your OnePlus 8 into a wireless charging smartphone in seconds. We recommend the following <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/olixar-oneplus-8-ultra-thin-usb-c-wireless-charging-adapter-81287?referer=BLOG\">Ultra-Thin Qi Wireless Charging Adapter<\/a> due to it&#8217;s premium build-quality and coil placement.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/olixar-oneplus-8-ultra-thin-usb-c-wireless-charging-adapter-81287?referer=BLOG\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-73262 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/oNEplUS-8-ADAPTER.jpg\" alt=\"OnePlus 8 Wireless Charging Adapter\" width=\"450\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/oNEplUS-8-ADAPTER.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/oNEplUS-8-ADAPTER-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/oNEplUS-8-ADAPTER-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/oNEplUS-8-ADAPTER-60x60.jpg 60w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Set-up is extremely easy, just plug the adapter into your OnePlus 8&#8217;s USB-C charging port, tuck the receiver section around the back of your phone as demonstrated in the photo above and you&#8217;re good to go! Working with the majority of cases too, this solution provides the best way of utilising wireless charging, without getting in the way of everyday use. What&#8217;s more, if you choose to upgrade to another phone without wireless charging at any point, then it&#8217;s likely the adapter will work with that phone too.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/olixar-oneplus-8-ultra-thin-usb-c-wireless-charging-adapter-81287?referer=BLOG\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-72694 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Buy-Here-Blog-Button.jpg\" alt=\"Buy Here\" width=\"280\" height=\"60\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>2. Wireless Charging Cases<\/h3>\n<p>Popular handsets without wireless charging as standard, are often accompanied by official wireless charging compatible cases and covers that transform the phone into a modern masterpiece. Unfortunately it seems as though OnePlus has forgotten about this gem of a phone, leaving it with at present no wireless charging case compatible options that feature the adapter built-in. We&#8217;ll keep our eyes out for any official or third party cases that might facilitate this feature and update the article accordingly.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Wireless Charging Pads<\/h3>\n<p>With the adapter in hand you&#8217;ll only need one more item in order to charge wirelessly.
