The OnePlus 10T is yet another OnePlus model equipped with impressive 150W fast charging capabilities. This feature enables the device to completely charge its 4,800 mAh battery in a swift 18 minutes. Interestingly, the newer OnePlus 12 and OnePlus 12R models have not maintained such rapid charging speeds; instead, they have reduced it to 100W, despite having larger batteries.
The Nubia Red Magic 9 Pro+, ZTE Nubia’s latest gaming mobile, boasts a substantial 5,500 mAh battery alongside an impressive 165W ultra-fast charging capability. As per the company’s claims, this charging speed enables the device to go from 1 to 100% battery charge in just 16 minutes—a remarkable feat given its slightly larger battery size compared to other devices on this list. However, it’s important to note that this model is only available in select territories.
iQOO 10 Pro – 200W
The iQOO 10 Pro features an ultra-fast charging capability that is truly remarkable, boasting 200W wired charging (and 50W wirelessly). According to the company’s claims, this allows the device to fully charge its 4,700 mAh battery in just 10 minutes—an exceptionally extreme speed.
iQOO 11S – 200W
Similar to its sibling, the iQOO 10 Pro, the vivo iQOO 11S also boasts 200W ultra-fast charging for its 4,700 mAh battery. Therefore, it’s reasonable to anticipate that it can fully charge its battery in approximately 10 minutes. Conversely, the new iQOO 12 and iQOO 12 Pro have opted for 120W fast charging instead.
Redmi Note 12 Explorer – 210W
The Redmi Note 12 Explorer is equipped with an impressive 210W ultra-fast charging capability and features a 4,300 mAh battery. As claimed by the company, this enables the device to fully charge its battery in just 9 minutes. In essence, users can charge their cell phones from 1 to 100% while preparing to leave the house in the morning, ensuring they have ample time for their daily activities.
Realme GT5 – 240W
The Realme GT5, unveiled in September 2023, remains the fastest charging mobile phone on the market. It comes in two versions: one featuring 150W charging, which is already part of this list, and another known as the Realme GT5 240W, boasting 240W ultra-fast charging.As per the company’s claims, this technology enables charging from 1 to 20% of the battery in just 80 seconds. Moreover, a complete 100% charge is achieved in less than 10 minutes.
300W coming soon
Realme has unveiled its 300W fast charging technology, promising to charge your phone from 1 to 100% in just 5 minutes—a feat that would have seemed incredible just a couple of years ago. Although this technology is not yet available in any model of the brand, it is expected to make its debut this year in a smartphone that will likely be crowned as the mobile phone with the fastest charging in the world.
Fast Charging Tips and Tricks:
- Power Up From the Wall. Wall outlets deliver more juice (amps) than computer USB ports, so you’ll get a faster charge.
- Airplane Mode for the Win. Put your phone in airplane mode to halt battery-draining functions like Bluetooth and Wi-Fi during charging.
- Power Down Completely (if possible). Turning your phone entirely off allows for the fastest charge since no background processes are using power.
- Minimize Phone Use While Charging. The screen and processing power are battery hogs, so limit using your phone while plugged in.
- Consider Cable Quality. A thicker gauge cable (usually 24-gauge) can handle more amps compared to standard cables, allowing for faster charging.
- Keep it Cool: Heat slows down charging. Avoid using your phone while charging and remove any cases that might trap heat.
- Fast Charger Compatibility: Ensure your charger and cable are compatible with your phone’s fast-charging technology (e.g., USB-C Power Delivery).
- Mind the Battery Life-Heat Trade-Off. While fast charging is convenient, it can generate more heat, which can slightly reduce battery lifespan over time. Use it strategically when needed.
