Types of Fast Chargers that you Should be using for Android Smartphones

Basically, everyone owns a smartphone these days, as it’s become something that you likely need to really be connected with the world, and can also be a great tool for work. However, one facet of smartphones that is somewhat undermined is the usage of what charger you should be using with your smartphone.

Nearly all smartphones these days come with their own wall charger, not only that but the charger that comes with the new smartphone that you buy also features it’s compatible fast charging tech.

Oh, except for the iPhone. Ever since the release of the iPhone X, and the iPhone 8, iPhones are now Power Delivery compatible and can also be fast charged through a USB-C to Lightning cable. Yet, the thousand dollar phone still comes with a single port 5W slow charger.

Moving on, fast charging is most known around Android smartphones though, and that’s what we’ll be going over in this guide. We’ll be touching base on both, Quick Charge and USB-C Power Delivery compatible types of chargers that you should be used to fast charge your Android smartphone.

However, please note that these types of chargers are really only meant for smartphones that have been released in the past 2-3 years. As those types of phones are the ones that are not only Quick Charge compatible, but also make use of a USB-C port so they can be used with USB-C chargers, too.

Anker PowerPort C 1 Wall Charger

Most Android smartphones that have been released in the past three years now make use of USB-C ports. If you have an Android phone that still has a Micro-USB port, well, let’s just say that you’re a bit behind the times.

This Anker PowerPort C 1 wall charger is proof that USB-C is becoming the true standard, as it uses to be that has a USB-C port would be with a wall charger with multiple ports. In this case, there’s just a single USB-C port on this wall charger.

Now, most might think that the USB-C port on this wall charger features Power Delivery, but that’s not the case, however, it does have a 15W charging speed. So how does it not features Power Delivery changing?

Well, that’s because PD charging starts at 18W of power, but even if this PowerPort C 1 wall charger doesn’t have 18W to provide, the 15W that it has is better than a regular USB-A port.

While most standard USB-A ports have a 12W charging, with the 3 Amp charging rate of this C 1 wall charger, it can actually fast charge USB-C Android smartphones because it follows the USB-C standard of connectivity and so it’s able to provide more power. As a result, even standard charging with USB-C is able to provide “Fast Charging” speeds, another reason why it’s the future.

Changing gears, this is Aukey’s six port desktop charger. Yes, we know, that’s a lot of ports to charge many devices.

While most wall chargers that feature the tech have just a single Quick Charge port, this desktop charger features two Quick Charge ports.

As a result, you’re able to charge two Quick Charge Android smartphones together. Something that can be highly useful if you and a family or friend have fast charging phones.

The other three ports on this charger are USB-A ports, but one of them is colored Orange, and you guessed it, it features Quick Charge 3.0, so you can fast charge your smartphone at the same time that you’re charging a Power Delivery compatible smartphone.

The other two ports on this charger are standard ports, that have a 12W charging speed, not too bad if you want to charge another two devices.
