It achieves this by increasing the watts (W) delivered from the charger to the phone through the cable.<\/p>\n<p><!-- BREAK 3 -->  <\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad-out\">\n<div class=\"ad-box\" id=\"div-gpt-out\">\n  <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Nowadays we can find phones that charge at 45W, 67W and even 120W or more (although we\u2019ll focus on the typical market ranges rather than the absolute extremes), and the higher the figure&#8230; does that mean better? Not entirely: the phone will indeed charge faster, but <strong>there are certain issues that arise when ramping up fast charging<\/strong>, such as heat.<\/p>\n<p><!-- BREAK 4 --><\/p>\n<p>Moreover, just because a battery supports 120W fast charging does not mean it will recharge in half the time of a 60W one. It doesn\u2019t work that way; as the numbers rise, the time saved becomes smaller because batteries have physical limits.<\/p>\n<p><!-- BREAK 5 --><\/p>\n<h2>The limits of fast charging<\/h2>\n<div class=\"article-asset-video article-asset-normal\">\n<\/div>\n<p>Batteries have limits that cause fast-charging values to &#8220;stall&#8221;:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A battery that supports 120W fast charging will not always charge at 120W. The power is maximum at the start of charging, and it gradually reduces from about 50\u201380% to protect the cells. This is easy to observe on a charger with a display that shows the real-time power being supplied (I use Anker Prime for this).<\/li>\n<li>Fast charging generates heat, and the higher the power, the higher the temperature. If the phone reaches too high a temperature, it will automatically reduce charging power to prevent damage.<\/li>\n<li>Although batteries have durability protection systems, subjecting them to constant stress with very powerful fast charging can reduce their total capacity to retain a charge over time. In other words, over time they won\u2019t fully recharge.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Where the numbers stop mattering<\/h2>\n<div class=\"article-asset-image article-asset-normal article-asset-center\">\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-asset-table article-asset-normal m-hr-scroll\">\n<\/div>\n<p>Although there are nuances with silicon-carbon batteries that push beyond 8,000 mAh, and obviously these take longer to recharge, the ideal balance right now sits in a range of 65 to 80W. With this charging power you can have your phone recharged in roughly 30 to 40 minutes without generating too much heat.<\/p>\n<p><!-- BREAK 6 --> <\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad-lat2\">\n<div class=\"ad-box\" id=\"div-gpt-lat2\">\n  <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>If you glance at the table above, moving from 25W to 45W (a 20W difference) saves roughly a quarter of an hour charging the phone. A similar effect occurs when moving from 45W to 67W (a 22W difference) because the gain is a quarter of an hour. However, moving from 67W to 120W (a 53W difference) results in the same 15 minutes.<\/p>\n<p><!-- BREAK 7 --><\/p>\n<p>With this we mean that going from 67W to 120W (almost doubling the power) only saves the same 15 minutes as in the earlier steps, but with significantly more heat generated. Efficiency, therefore, is reduced.<\/p>\n<p><!-- BREAK 8 --><\/p>\n<h2>Which phones have good fast charging?<\/h2>\n<p>Fast charging hasn\u2019t arrived equally across brands. Some have been delivering strong numbers for years in their devices, while others have gradually embraced them. In any case, today there are solid options if you value fast charging:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra<\/strong>. It took a while, but with the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra we\u2019ve seen the highest fast charging within the brand: 60W.
