OnePlus 10T
Launched in 2022, OnePlus 10T was touted as the ‘flagship killer’ by some but failed to make a greater impact largely because of the missing alert slider and an uninspiring camera unit, which was seen by many as OnePlus giving up its identity for a more mainstream appeal. What it did have was a massive 160W charging brick that provided up to 150W of wired charging, making it one of the fastest-charging smartphones on the market. The OnePlus 10T takes just about 20 minutes to fully power up. Need to leave in a hurry? In just 3 minutes the 160W charger can boost the smartphone from 1% to 15%. Here’s our review of the OnePlus 10T.
iQOO 11
The recently released iQOO 11 continues the tradition of offering lightning-quick charging support. The smartphone comes with a 120W charger in the box that can boost the battery to 100% in just 25 minutes. Powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC, the iQOO 11 delivers a powerful performance that is unmatched by its peers.

Motorola Edge 30 Ultra
The Motorola Edge 30 Ultra comes with a massive 125W charging bring that is capable of fully charging the smartphone in 30 minutes. Several tests indicate that the smartphone draws 105W of power, despite having a 125W charger – probably to reduce overheating. With that being said, if you’re looking for a smartphone that comes with a powerful charger in the box, Motorola Edge 30 Ultra is one of the best around. The smartphone can charge from 1% to 40% in just under 10 minutes. The Edge 30 Ultra also has 50W wireless charging support and can reverse charge at 10W.
iQOO 9T
iQOO’s flagship alternative 9T boasts a 4,700mAh battery and a 120W charger that can charge fully boost the phone in just under 25 minutes. Currently priced at Rs 49,999, the iQOO 9T can easily match the performance of other premium phones on the market. The smartphone runs Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 and is also equipped with Vivo’s V1+ chip which increases the frame rate, optimises colours, and reduces the noise while capturing pictures and videos in Night Mode. The iQOO 9T is also one of the best gaming smartphones around, with its Vapor Chamber Cooling System efficiently dissipating the excess heat and keeping the phone’s temperature in check during extended gaming sessions.

Xiaomi 11T Pro
Xiaomi has always been ahead of the curve when it comes to ultra-fast charging and the Xiaomi 11T is a testament to that. This mid-ranger by the Chinese brand is currently priced at Rs 31,990 and comes with a 120W charger that can fully charge the smartphone in just 17 minutes. For a smartphone in this category, this is truly remarkable. The 11T Pro also packs a 108MP primary shooter in its rear camera unit along with an 8MP ultrawide and a 5MP telephoto macro lens. Processor duties are handled by the versatile Snapdragon 888 5G. Read our full review here.
Vivo V27 Pro
The newly launched Vivo V27 Pro continues the V series’ tradition of being one of the best camera phones out there, but its fast charging capability is something that doesn’t get enough praise. The smartphone comes with a 66W charger in the box that can boost the battery up to 50% in just 19 minutes and 100% in a little over 30 minutes. The 4,600mAh battery can provide an entire day’s worth of backup with absolute ease. Powering the smartphone is MediaTek’s latest SoC, Dimensity 8200.
Redmi Note 12 Pro+
Redmi Note 12 Pro+ is one of the few phones in its price category that offer 120W super fast charging. The smartphone can be fully charged in just 19 minutes, something that even most flagships cannot boast about. The 4,980mAh battery delivers a versatile performance, offering a day’s worth of power backup with ease. While 120W charging may already be ridiculous, Redmi plans on pushing the boundary even further with plans of a 300W charger in the works. The brand recently showed off this hyper charging ability on a modified Redmi Note 12 Pro. It took the charger a mere 5 minutes to completely replenish the 4,100mAh battery.
Oppo Reno8
The Oppo Reno8 comes equipped with a 4,500mAh battery that can be fully charged in just 20 minutes with its 80W charger. With SuperVOOC charging, you can boost the smartphone to 50% charge in just 15 minutes.

Asus ROG Phone 5s
Designed for heavy gaming, the Asus ROG Phone 5s does not compromise on its charging capabilities. The smartphone comes with not one but two charging ports, one for regular use and another side-mounted port for when you’re gaming. There are two 3,000 mAh inside the ROG Phone 5s, ensuring that power backup is not an issue while gaming.
