OnePlus Type-C Accessories
It has recently come to our attention that two of our products, the OnePlus Type-C cable and the OnePlus USB Type-C adapter, are using a resistor that may not be fully compatible with some third-party devices.
Please be rest assured that this cable and adapter are safe to use with the OnePlus 2. That means that if you’re charging or transferring data to or from the OnePlus 2, you should have no problems using the cable that shipped with your OnePlus 2 or the cables or adapters you bought separately on Amazon India. If you’ve purchased any of the above two accessories separately for use with other devices, we are offering an opportunity to apply for a refund on those products purchased through the Amazon India website. We advise you to return the item along with the purchase invoice to claim your refund at any of our service centres.
