There’s 20W fast charging on the OnePlus 3, but what’s it called?

The OnePlus 3 has received its China Compulsory Certificate and we’ve found out that it supports a 5V, 4A charging standard. It does come as an about face for OnePlus, a manufacturer that hasn’t embracedQualcomm’s Quick Charging standard in its phones. But be prepared to not be surprised once the dots get connected.

While Quick Charge 3.0 does support up to 20W of power, there’s word of the standard being OPPO’s Super VOOC. Many associations have been drawn between OPPO and OnePlus with some speculators saying that OPPO owns, has ultimate control or some overbearing influence on OnePlus. We’ll have to see.

Perhaps all of this could explain the “Dash Charge” trademark OnePlus has filed for.

Amazon is reportedly leasing jets to power shipping network

Amazon-branded trailers aren't all the online retailer has planned to improve is shipping network. The Seattle Times reports that Jeff Bezos & Co. are in talks to lease a fleet of Boeing jets to handle the air cargo duties. As the company looks to avoid the headaches of using UPS and other carriers, it has already put a group of trailers on the road to carry loads to its distribution centers.

Amazon is reportedly looking to lease 20 Boeing 767s for the task. Doing so would give the company more control over delivery times, and potentially bypass cargo services of UPS, FedEx and the USPS. Of course, Amazon still relies on those outfits to get packages to your door, so it's more likely the company is just looking to streamline the supply chain... for now. However, The Seattle Times also reports that the retailer could open up extra space on its jets to other companies, which would put it in direct competition with the likes of UPS, FedEx and others.
