I got my first Oneplus phone earlier this year and the fast charging is such a nice convenience. I thought it’d just be a gimmick I wouldn’t care about, but its something I take advantage of basically everyday.

In the past I’ve used Pixels and Galaxys and they tend to claim they have fast charging, but in reality its pretty slow. My old Fold 3 took ~1.5 hours to fully charge.

For comparison, the Oneplus 11 I replaced it with fully charges in under half an hour, usually closer to 25 minutes (though I very rarely actually charge up to 100%).

I bought a second charger to keep in my backpack and it basically completely removes any battery anxiety that I used to have. The other day I was out after work and my phone was down to 5%. I saw that I was near a used bookstore, so I went in and charged my phone for 5 minutes while I looked around and I was back up to 35%, enough for several hours of screen on time.

    Were you using the stock charger on the Fold 3? Stock chargers don’t even have the “Ultra Fast Charging” mode for Galaxy devices. I had to buy a uGreen charger to get that on my S20FE. And it went FAST. but… My USB Port on my S20FE is dying, even when it’s clean it’s flaky.

    September can’t come faster so I can move to iPhone.
