The best smartphones with very fast wired charging

Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro Plus is a “people’s” smartphone that brought to the masses those attributes that were previously found in flagship mobile devices.

The first thing that attracts attention is the OLED screen of the model with curved edges. Its diagonal dimensions are 6.67 inches, the image on the gadget’s display is displayed in high resolution 2712x1220 pixels, and the panel refresh rate reaches 120 Hz. The list of positive qualities of the display includes 12-bit color representation and a high peak brightness threshold when playing HDR content - up to 1800 nits.

The device runs on a 4-nanometer MediaTek Dimensity 7200 Ultra chipset. The smartphone has 8/256 GB of memory (without expansion slot). The model’s processor has been modified so that it can unlock the potential of the stabilized main camera sensor of the Samsung ISOCELL HP3 Discovery Edition 200 MP. This sensor is accompanied by an 8 MP ultra-wide sensor and a 2 MP macro module.

The model “spied” on the under-screen implementation of a fingerprint scanner and the moisture protection of the case at IP68 level from top colleagues in the workshop. The smartphone also has the fastest wired battery charging with a power of 120 W - you can fully charge a 5000 mAh battery in 19 minutes. The picture of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro Plus is complemented by pleasant little things like support for 5G, an NFC chip and a proprietary infrared port.

At the time of its announcement, Realme GT Neo 5 set a very high bar in terms of wired charging power - the model was released in two versions with a 4600 mAh battery and 240-watt charging, as well as with a 5000 mAh battery and a 150-watt power adapter. However, for the global market, the record-breaking smartphone with a charging power of 240 W was then renamed Realme GT 3 to avoid confusion.

So, the GT Neo 5 model formally belongs to the pre-top segment of mobile devices. It has a large AMOLED screen measuring 6.74 inches diagonally, broadcasting the image in a maximum resolution of 2772x1240 pixels. The display claims 7 steps of adaptive refresh rate (up to 144 Hz), full coverage of the DCI-P3 color space and a sampling rate of 1500 Hz, thanks to which the screen instantly responds to touches.

The silicon heart of the device is a powerful mobile processor Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, which is supported by 12 GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 256 GB of internal storage. An eight-component cooling system, consisting of an evaporation chamber and many layers of graphene for effective heat dissipation, helps keep the smartphone cool. With the cameras, the model also goes well - Realme GT Neo 5 is equipped with a triple rear photo module 50 + 8 + 2 MP with an optical stub of the leading sensor and a 16 MP front camera (its lens is built into the island hole of the screen).

As already mentioned, the smartphone can boast the fastest battery charging with a power of 150 W. In addition, the model received an NFC chip, stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos, and an under-screen fingerprint scanner. On the plate with the rear camera of the device there is an LED notification notification, customizable for various applications. So, when the battery charge level is below 20%, the indicator lights up red. The Realme GT Neo 5 is potentially one of the best upper-mid-range offerings in the modern smartphone arena.

An indestructible smartphone with top-end characteristics is embodied in the UleFone Armor 23 Ultra model. The device is suitable for builders, the military, extreme tourists, and simply those whose mobile phones do not last long due to falls and drowning.

The model has a waterproof case with a Kevlar “back”, which, in addition, can withstand impacts and falls to the ground from a height of average human height. The smartphone is certified IP68, IP69K and MIL-STD-810H. The screen of the device is based on an IPS matrix with a diagonal size of 6.78 inches and a Full HD+ image resolution (2460x1080 pixels) and is protected by tempered Gorilla Glass Victus glass. The refresh rate of the image on the display reaches 120 Hz.

The UleFone Armor 23 Ultra hardware platform is topped by a powerful eight-core MediaTek Dimensity 8020 chipset. At the same time, the model can boast of substantial amounts of on-board memory: 12 GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 512 GB of space in the built-in data storage. And this is with a separate expansion slot for a microSD card. The most interesting thing is that the smartphone supports satellite communication from the Bullitt service for two-way text messaging. Even in the most remote and remote places on the planet, you can now stay in touch.

“Armored” mobile phones often skimp on cameras, but the model in question has become a pleasant exception to this rule. On the rear , the smartphone was equipped with a photo module with a “quad” prefix: it consists of a 50 MP main image sensor, 50 MP ultra-wide, 8 MP telephoto with 3.2x zoom, 64 MP night vision sensor with two IR emitters. The front camera of the smartphone takes selfies in high resolution 50 MP. The device is powered by a 5280 mAh battery, which charges “from zero to hundreds” in about 23 minutes. (120W wired) and supports 50W wireless charging.

OnePlus Ace 2 Pro is hot on the heels of the flagships of the mobile industry. The smartphone has top-end hardware coupled with a gorgeous screen, and the wired charging power of its battery reaches an impressive figure of 150 W - the battery can be fully charged in just 19 minutes.

The device is greeted with an AMOLED screen, which stretches diagonally at 6.7 inches. The mobile phone's display broadcasts images in an increased resolution of 2772x1240 pixels, has 100% coverage of the DCI-P3 color model and is capable of boasting a refresh rate of up to 120 Hz(but not dynamic). The surface of the screen is covered with tempered Asahi Glass. A fingerprint scanner was built right into the display to unlock the device using a fingerprint.

To quickly solve any problems and comfortable mobile gaming, the model provides a powerful combination of the eight-core Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset and 12 GB of RAM of the LPDDR5X standard. The non-expandable storage capacity of the smartphone has a capacity of 256 GB. And in the “maximum” configuration, the device can have as much as 24 GB of RAM and 1 TB of internal storage. To prevent the device from overheating under load, its “inside” has an evaporation chamber with an area of almost 10 thousand mm².

Additional assets of OnePlus Ace 2 Pro include a triple main camera with stabilization of the leading 50 MP sensor and a Wi-Fi 7 wireless communication adapter. And in order to be considered a true flagship, the smartphone lacks a telephoto camera, waterproof housing and wireless battery charging. However, even without this, the model turned out to be a very serious device that will satisfy the needs of a discerning audience.

The best Motorola smartphones rightfully occupy a strong position in the media segment of mobile devices. A clear confirmation of this in the hardware is the pre-top level model Edge 50 Pro.

The smartphone has a pOLED screen with rounded side edges, extending 6.7 inches diagonally. The pixel density on the display reaches 444 ppi, which is due to the high resolution of 2712x1220 pixels. In addition, the model’s screen boasts a high refresh rate of up to 144 Hz, which ensures smooth browsing of the interface and rendering of graphics in compatible applications.

The middle-class "breed" of the device is given by the processor used - the eight-core Snapdragon 7 Gen 3. This is not the most advanced solution from the Qualcomm portfolio, but in terms of performance there are actually no complaints about the chipset. Moreover, the processor is supported by 12 GB of RAM and 512 GB of internal storage. Out of the box, the Motorola Edge 50 Pro comes with Android 14 OS and the proprietary Hello UI add-on.

The smartphone cameras, implemented charging technologies and reliable IP68 water protection of the case deserve respect. Thus, the main quad camera of the device is responsible for photo and video shooting; it consists of a 50-megapixel main sensor with optical stabilization, a 13 MP ultra-wide camera and a 10 MP stabilized telephoto camera. The 50MP selfie camera houses the lens in the punch hole of the screen. The model is powered by a 4500 mAh battery - the device’s battery supports 125-watt wired charging and two-way wired technology for replenishing energy reserves (50 W for reception, 10 W for output). The Motorola Edge 50 Pro offers near-flagship specs for a relatively reasonable price.
