20 Best Fast Charging Smartphones of 2023

In modern realities, it is impossible to imagine a person’s life without a telephone. Gadgets contain the most important things – communication, work, entertainment. That is why many people increasingly prefer smartphones with fast charging. They will help you always stay in touch with colleagues, loved ones, friends and other people, thereby avoiding various inconveniences.

Smartphones with fast charging function are mobile devices equipped with the following technologies:

• Quick Charge (for smartphones with Snapdragon processors, power from 18 to 24 W);
• AFC (for most Samsung models, power from 18 to 25 W);
• Power Delivery (for gadgets from Apple, power up to 60 W). 

They allow you to charge your phone in a short time (from 12 to 40 minutes) due to the increased current power (18-100 W) going to the battery through the cable and power supply.

Let’s look at the main differences between fast charging and regular charging:

Normal charging	Fast charging
The charger power ranges from 5 to 10 W;	Power supplies from 18 to 100 W;
Battery charging time is 1.5 hours and above.	Phones with fast charging can charge to 100% in 12 to 40 minutes.

How to choose a smartphone with fast charging

In order to purchase a smartphone with fast charging, you need to pay attention to the following characteristics.

CPU

The main part of the smartphone is the processor. The speed and quality of the device’s operation depends on it. If you are planning to buy a mobile phone running Android OS, then a gadget powered by a high-performance Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, such as the Qualcomm Snapdragon 680, may be a good choice. 

Battery 

Battery capacity is an important indicator when choosing a smartphone with fast charging. The larger it is, the longer the phone operates without recharging. A device with a 5000 mAh battery will be a worthy solution. In continuous calls mode, a smartphone with such a battery will work for about 40 hours, but it is worth taking into account the brightness of the screen. The autonomy of the mobile device also depends on it.
