there is a hidden race in the smartphone
market about which phone can charge the
fastest
and while apple and samsung are removing
chargers from the boxes with iphones and
galaxy phones
other phone makers from china not only
still include the charger
but these chargers are fast enough to
charge even a laptop
hello guys my name is vic with phone
arena and we have
eight of the most exciting new phones
around
with the brand new oneplus 9 series at
the very front with their super fast
65 watt charger included in the box for
free
and we were curious how fast they charge
so here are the phones in this charging
competition
the oneplus 9 pro the oneplus 9 both
coming with the same size
4 500 milliamp hour batteries and 65
watt charger
then we have the oppo find x3 pro made
by the same parent company as oneplus
same size battery and charger then the
iphone 12 pro max with the smallest size
battery at just around 3 700 milliamp
hours
and the 20 watt apple charger that you
have to buy separately
then you have the s21 ultra with a large
5000mah battery cell
and support for 25 watt charger that you
also have to buy separately
then you have the compact pixel 5 with a
4 000 milliamp hour battery
and the least capable 18 watt charger
that comes in the box and then the
xiaomi mi 11 with a 55 watt charger
and the asus rogue phone 5 which comes
with a gigantic
6000 milliamp hour battery inside and
a massive 65 watt charger that was a
mouthful
these are all the specs on your screens
all phones are fully depleted
no charge left and we have plugged them
all in
and they are ready to go just as we
press the start button on the timer
we will flip the switch and the phones
will start charging in
three two one
let's go and you can see that all phones
have started charging
and we wait for a few minutes so we'll
turn off the screen but all phones will
be turned on we'll be running as the
test continues
and we'll come back to check up on the
charging in 15 minutes
fast forward 15 minutes by the way we
have a timer in the corner so you can
see that 15 minutes into the test the
oneplus 9 pro and oneplus 9 are at 62
the find x3 pro is at 63 the iphone has
just 26 percent of charge the same for
the galaxy
26 on the charge meter the pixel does
worse so far with just
23 of charge the xiaomi mi 11 has 36
a decent score and the rog phone 5 has
39
of charge so right from the get go you
see a massive difference in favor of
oneplus
it's just incredible how you can get
two-thirds of battery charge
in just 15 minutes truly incredible
by the way subscribing to our channel is
like super charging for your phone
you get new videos faster so it's
definitely highly recommended
anyway let's leave these phones charging
fast forward time and 30 minutes
after the beginning of the test let's do
another checkup
and my oh my the oneplus 9 pro
the oneplus 9 the apple find x3 pro
all of these phones are fully charged in
just half an hour
the iphone meanwhile has 50 percent of
charge the s21 ultra a bit more is 53
the pixel 5 remains last with just 45
percent of charge
and then the xiaomi mi 11 has 71 percent
and the rog phone 5 has 68
this is just mind-boggling what we just
witnessed you got to love
what oneplus and oppo are doing with
that charging
and keep in mind that we haven't seen
evidence that this will affect the
health of the battery over the long term
either
in any significant way so let's flip the
phones that are done and
let's fast forward time again this time
45 minutes since the beginning
and we have the following the iphone is
now at 72 percent
the galaxy s21 ultra is a bit ahead at
77
the pixel is still last at just 65.
the xiaomi however is nearly done with
95
on the charge meter and the rog phone is
doing pretty good at
87 so far so good
let's keep on going and keep a watchful
eye for the xiaomi mi 11
and just like that the mi 11 also
reaches a full hundred percent charge
53 minutes since the beginning of the
test not a bad score at all
so good job xiaomi not quite as fast as
oneplus but still
pretty amazing and our next check
happens exactly one hour after the start
of the test and we have the following
the iphone 12 at 84 the galaxy is
approaching a full charge at
93 the pixel is now almost on par with
the iphone at 82 percent
and wow look at that the asus with its 6
000 milliamp hour battery is fully
charged in exactly one hour
that is great for such a massive battery
and gamers will be really happy with
this phone
okay next up one hour and ten minutes
since the test
started the galaxy s21 ultra is finally
done
keep in mind though that if you're using
your phone while charging
the actual speed actually here drops
significantly
and it may charge in twice that time
that's an important disclaimer
so this right now after the galaxy
leases with
just two phones that will linger on for
quite a while
longer this is getting too exhausting
but
one hour and a half into the test the
pixel 5 has now outpaced the iphone with
99
almost done the iphone has 97.
unfortunately it's these last percentage
points that
take quite a long while finally the
pixel 5 is done it charges fully in 1
hour 34 minutes
which is far slower than the new
competition on the block
and we really wish google stepped it up
with at least a 25 watt or why not a 30
watt charger
that would give users a full charge much
faster the iphone takes even longer and
it finishes this test dead last with a
full charge
that takes an exhausting one hour and 50
minutes
and that is with the fastest 20 watt
charger that you
have to buy separately this is not
really a great score and
apple should really step up its fast
charging game
it's 20 21 after all so let's recap the
results and
take a look at what happened once again
in this chart the oneplus and opa phones
charger fully in just about half an hour
then the xiaomi mi 11 is next in line
the asus rogue phone
rog phone despite having a gigantic
battery finishes in an hour and you know
the rest of the story
so what are the conclusions well
obviously
samsung apple and google are the sore
losers here but mostly apple
so let me just explain why this fast
charging
is a big deal having super fast charge
simply means that you don't have to
worry about
charging your phone overnight and if you
own one of these latest oneplus or apple
phones you can just stop it up for 20
minutes in your lunch break
and have enough juice for the whole day
that's a huge convenience
and it's also great for travels whenever
that happens
a quick top up and you will be on your
way by the way oneplus has also given us
this year bad boy a 50 watt wireless
fast charger that juices up the phones
in just
43 minutes that is faster than the wire
charge
on most phones it's actually twice as
fast as the charging on the iphone
this is just super cool it's also
conveniently a stand so it's perfect as
a desk companion and it has two coils so
you can place the phone vertically or
horizontally
this is definitely next-gen wireless
charging and
unlike some other fruit company it won't
cost hundreds of dollars
seriously we can live without the
magnets apple no need to ask a fortune
for a wireless charger
so we see that other phone makers like
xiaomi also offer fast charging speeds
and we're happy to see fast charging on
the rog phone 5 which happens to have a
gigantic battery and still charge to
nearly 70 in just half an hour
as always we're least impressed with
apple and google which are way behind
with comparatively super slow charging
speeds
and there you have it there's really one
company that really needs to step up its
charging game
and one other company that shows the way
forward
and i guess you know which i'm referring
to anyway that's been fun
let me know if fast charging is
important to you and have you ever
noticed any
negatives with having such super fast
charging
