your new phone didn't come with a charger so you run out and buy one from
some other brand that says it supports fast charging but did you know there's a
good chance that it won't work properly because the folks that make our phones
tablets and laptops haven't agreed on one fast charging standard your device
might charge more slowly than it ought to so today we're going to tell you how
to make sure you've got the right charger and cord iphone and google pixel
owners will want to pay attention to this first one usb power delivery or usb
pd for short as the name implies usb pd
is actually part of the official usb specification and some manufacturers
have kept things simple by just using usb pd instead of some kind of
proprietary fast charging scheme but that doesn't mean that all phones
use usb pd the same way for example the
iphone 12 pro max can pull about 22 watts while charging but the 13 pro max
pulls about 27 more watts means faster
charging so check your phone's peak wattage then buy a charger that provides
at least that much power just make sure that it's usb pd certified or you might
not get the extra speed the good news here though is that any
certified charger providing enough wattage should work so you don't have to
buy an official one from apple or google and instead can score yourself a sweet
deal on a third-party charger oh and don't forget about the cable
itself a modern made to spec usbc to
usbc cable should carry at least 60 watts but again double check to ensure
it actually meets that usb pd standard usb pd also supports up to 100 watts for
larger devices like laptops and a 240
watt variant is on the way soon so it's a great one charger to rule them all
solution if you have compatible devices across different brands qualcomm's quick
charge is the next fast charging standard we're going to talk about and
despite the fact that the san diego chargers no longer play at qualcomm
stadium in a brutal twist of irony quick charge is still a very widespread
protocol used in phones from samsung razer ASUS sony nokia and lg if you're
still rocking one of those collectibles but just how good is quick charge we're
going to tell you right after we thank govi for sponsoring today's video govi's
immersion kit combines their led tv backlights with two smart light bars for
full reactive ambient lightings its color sense camera intelligently
recognizes and captures the colors on your tv and automatically applies them
to your backlights and it offers multiple control options including
google assistant and amazon alexa support click the link in the video
description and grab your govi immersion kit today so quick charge is a bit
faster than usb pd but it is proprietary
still versions 4 and newer are compatible with usb pd though you won't
get as much speed if you use a quick charge 4 4 plus or 5 phone with a usb pd
only charger due to the extra secret sauce from qualcomm
however you shouldn't need a super special cable as even the newest
versions of quick charge are supposed to work with a regular 3 amp usbc cable
qualcomm has promised that you can get a 50 charge on your phone in only 5
minutes with quick charge 5. and although that will obviously depend on
battery size it's really impressive especially since quick charge has a
reputation for running a little cooler than some of its competitors but what if
you want to go even faster one of the quickest standards out there right now
is warp charge from oneplus formerly known as dash charge now there's no
chance that you'll find it on a non-oneplus device as it's a strictly
proprietary standard and you will need a compatible charger as well as a special
cord but the upside to all this special equipment is that warp charge is fast it
gives the flagship oneplus 9 pro and its 4500 milliamp hour battery a full charge
from zero in just about half an hour and if that's not fast enough oneplus's
parent company oppo has another charging standard called supervooc though there's
no word on when that might be available outside of china
of course we'd be remiss though if we didn't also mention samsung and
motorola's in-house solutions samsungs are called adaptive fast
charging and the newer super fast charging and are only for galaxy devices
the former max is out at 18 watts and the latter is at 45 watts so it's quick
but with the way it's currently implemented it's not going to give the full 60 plus watts that usb pd would
even though super fast charging is compatible with the usb pd standard if
you want the highest speed super fast charging has to offer you'll need a
certified charger and a cable as it uses a relatively high 5 amps of current on
the motorola side they use a solution called turbo power while it's not as
fast as some of the other standards we've mentioned the good news is that it's actually a variant of quick charge
3.0 for low wattage turbo power devices
any adapter that supports quick charge 3.0 should give you full performance
though if you're using the higher wattage versions make sure you've got a charger that supports quick charge four
plus or higher hopefully now you'll have a better idea
of what you'll need to keep your phone powered up in a pinch or you can just
disregard everything i said and stop forgetting to plug it in before you go
to sleep because then you wouldn't need to quick charge
