as above, do off the shelf GaN chargers provide the same fast charging on realme phones? asking 'coz i'm considering realme's upcoming flagship/s for my next phone. i have a plethora of fast chargers already that i keep at home, in the office & in the car. i'd rather not buy extra chargers if i do get realme's phones
Wouldn't be as fast as a realme charger as OnePlus/oppo/realme use a different system to fast charge the phone.

Just received my Moto Z today and the included charger was TurboPower 15.
Where I can find TurboPower 30 ships internationally
Getting an original charger will be difficult outside of US. (if previous experience is anything to go by)
There's a brand called Blitzwolf that makes good QC3 certified chargers, here's one store that has a EU plug 30W QC3 model:

http://www.banggood.com/BlitzWolf-2...to-USB-3_1-Type-C-p-1015831.html?rmmds=search
By Chinese standards they're quite expensive, but I've never had issues with their stuff.
I shop from this store a lot, they always deliver, but it takes some time to arrive.
Edit:
Btw, Turbo Charge is a Moto renaming of Qualcomm QC 3.0 technology, BUT;
A moto turbo charger won't charge an LG with Fast Charge, and vice versa.
Samsung quick charge won't accept LG or Moto etc.
Extremely stupid, but Google has put their foot down on this, demanding all manufacturers abandon their proprietary systems.
This charger will however charge ANY brand "turbo" technology.

I bought a Blitzwolf 4x2.4A+1xQC3 charger and it is really a *great* object. On "standard" 2.4A ports, it charges my LG G2 (a lot) faster & cooler (on battery) than every other charger I've tried!
I can only imagine how it can be good on QC3 port too...
So we have the official 30W charger for £25 at Google store, which I believe most people will be going for.
The pixel 6 requires PD 3.0 with PPS for full 30W fast charging. Since chargers will no longer be available in future phones and to avoid buying chargers again in the future when charging speeds increase I thought it might be best to go for a higher charging capacity USB-C PD PSS charger.
Fortunately Spigen have a 45 Watts PD 3.0 PPS charger on amazon with charging cable included.

This should save folks from buying a charger in the future when charging speeds get increased once again.
The good thing is that this one is currently having a 25% off promotion until the end of this month, so turns out cheaper than the official Google fast charger!

Stupid question sorry, but if a charger shows fast charging, I guess that means it's fully compatible?

No its not. It will charge at normal speeds only. For example if you use a oneplus dash charger it won't charge your pixel at 30W.
A handshake for fast charging is made between your phone software and the charger and therefore they both need to adhere to a contract between the two. This is where we need standards so that chargers become compatible across all manufacturers.
Samsung has already moved to PD PPS standards.
Google is trying to push all manufacturers to use PD 3.0 PPS standard so that all become compatible.
Also note that the higher capacity charger you purchase the more future proof you are. For example even with a 45w charger you can't charge your pixel 6 more than 30w as that is what your phone software will allow. But at the same time it means you can use the same charger to fast charge one of your latest Samsung devices at full 45w potential via USB C PD PPS (and potentially future Pixels that allow even faster charging).
I have been looking at this one that looks to be compatible. It doesn't have the future proof of the 45w above as it is 30w - but it is relatively cheap.

So my phone showing rapid charging, is it compatible?
Also is anyone else finding there phone really hot when charging?

Even if you plug your 18W charger into your phone it will say charging rapidly. It doesn't mean its charging at the full 30W capacity!
Any USB c charger will eventually charge your phone.

That should do as it has the PD 3.0 standard with PPS. A word of note that you will see 30W chargers just with PD 3.0 but no PPS. These will charge slower than those with PPS but should still be more rapid than the previous gen 18W fast charger.
Ordered the Spigen charger thanks for the recommendation.

Got mine before they removed the 25% discount
Just ordered the Spigen 25% discount £22 bargain thanks for heads up
I have had my eye on that spigen charger for a while now. I am actually a big fan of spigen. I have had every pixel and I have used a spigen case for each one.
I actually don't like using those high amp chargers. I only use them when i am in a pinch like i forgot to charge my phone and i gotta go. I use a chargie with a 1amp usb port on my power strip. And i only charge to 80 percent. Again if i am in a pinch or if i know i will be gone from a charger for more than 10 hours i will charge to 100 but that rarely happens. My pixel 4xl used to last all day plus and I had it for 2 years and when i traded it in the battery was still at 98 percent health.
I have a question though since we are talking about chargers. I have a lenovo chromebook that uses a 45w usb c charger. can i use that on my pixel 6? I have the base model 6 not the pro. Or will that damage it? I would assume that it would be ok but just want a second opinion.

On to Amazon now!
If i ordered today i would be paying around £6 less for two!
This charger oozes quality. It is slightly smaller than the pixel 5 18w charger, comes with a higher quality braided cable, in all much better value than the Google 30w charger.
Indicates it's charging rapidly so hopefully getting full 30w
If you're not testing your charger with a usb C meter of some sort, you're almost certainly not getting 30W.
These pixels appear to have an apple style restriction on chargers. Something many people are missing is that not all PPS chargers are created equally. Google specifies 21v whereas most of the pps chargers on the market top out at 11v.
I've tried 3 different 65W 11v PPS chargers and they all top out at 18-20W.
I then specifically bought a 21v capable charger and still it tops out at 18-20W.
I'm extremely disappointed Google decided to take this anti consumer approach. The chargers I have tried are by all means technologically superior to Google's charger in every way and yet this arbitrary restriction means I'm forced to buy Google's if I want 30W charging.
I can include links/photos/videos if anyone is curious.

I can almost guarantee it's not. It says charging rapidly for anything above 7.5W.

"Up to 45W(5.0V=3.0A, 9.0V=3.0A, 15.0V=3.0A, 20.0V=2.25A, 3.3V-11.0V=3.5A, 3.3V-16.0V=3.0A)"
^ Taken from the amazon page for the Spigen charger.
No support for 21V so no 30W fast charging. Even if it did support 21V, I doubt it would go over 18-20W, based on my findings.
Of course it's ridiculous because even with "only" 20V, the charger can push 2.25A which is more than enough for 30W charging. I don't understand the point of PPS if the voltage/current combinations are not dynamic. The implementation of PPS so far seems to make a mockery of the intended purpose of the standard.
I am looking for wireless charging options, 5W/10W/15W, there are so many names which I am hearing for first hence wanted some reviews before buying.... please suggest.
I bought this one, and it works amazing.

Thanks, is it fast charging at full 15w?
the pixel stand gen 2 is the only one which will lets you charge in 21W or 23W for the pro version.
Otherwise check out any of the 15W qi certified wireless chargers.
I recommend the anker 15W, it's probably the best and most reliable brand.
Or the xiaomi 50W wireless charger, it has active cooling so you can always get the full 15W even if it's hot outside.
Thanks Xiaomi 50w charger is yet to launch here, will have too easily I guess, there are no other chargers with fan
Hi Guys
I have just purchased this phone it gonna come in around 2 days or so.
My current phone is the oppo reno x10 phone and i have ad this for about 3 years. My wife has the realme x2 phone.
Both these phones itilise vooc/dash/warp chargin techonoloy and i have a bunch of these plugs around the house.
Would it be safe to use these with this phone. Granted i may not get the fastest chargin possible, but is it gonna be really slow?
Also for this phone, the fast charge is USB to USB C 30 watts, so would i get fast charge with a regulat USB to USB c on a 30watt plug?
Any advice would be appreicated
I use baseues 65W GaN charger mostly but works fine with some 65W from xiaomi and 120W from oneplus.
Though, I'm nut fussed about how fast it actually charges, mine is set to battery care
Yes you can use those chargers, I have been using an Oppo Find X2 Pro charger with my handset; it charges in a couple of hours from zero; also it learns charging habits ie overnight charging
So it's perfectly safe right?
But I don't want it taking hours to charge. I suppose it will be half an hour slower than the dedicated fast charger
it depends what option will you choose. But unlike with other brands, it is your choice.
I'm kind of retentive when it comes to complying with warranty requirements because down the line I don't want to hear any excuses from Sony about something not being able to be covered under a warranty based upon my own negligence. Even though I'm quite sure a non-sony charger can do the job I decided to go ahead and get the official Sony charger. Ironically the only place I could find it was on the official Sony website. I could not find this charger anywhere else.
I bought the official Sony charger from eBay, but I was using my Oppo Find X2 Pro charger beforehand and that was okay
The official Sony charger is available at Amazon UK for £29.59 or thereabouts...
I jut purchased some 30w plug. it was much cheaper then the sony one. Charges fast perfectly.
Just decided to buy a S23 Ultra as a upgrade for my Galaxy Note 8 and I need a new charger since my current charger is probably slow.
The price doesn't matter, since I just paid 855Euro for it after extending my phone contract and traded in the Note 8. However the charger should be from a reputable brand.
If it's possible, post the name and model of that charger or Amazon EU link.
Thread here.
45 Watt Charging
Does the Samsung S23 Ultra ONLY accept Samsung Genuine 45 watt charger for Super Fast Charging 2.0 aka 45 watt charging ?! BTW does anyone know any good 5A cables ?
forum.xda-developers.com
Personally I have always liked Anker brand wall warts and USB cables because of the quality. But that's just my preference (even with their bad security practices)
I've been please with the UGreen Dual USB C port charger. Does do the Super Fast 2.0 charging. Does some kind of very low trickle charge when the device 100% so the phone is actually cool in the morning when left charging overnight. https://www.amazon.com/UGREEN-Charg...28344&sprefix=ugreen+dual+port+,aps,59&sr=8-5
I like small, easily portable, and dual port chargers. I can charge two devices as once. And the one seems do it very well. You can definitely find faster chargers, but it fits my criteria very well.
I recommend official Samsung 45W charger, it comes with 5A cable. I use it and it workings as it should. From 30% to 85% of battery charging takes 20 minutes.
I got 4-5 Baseus chargers at home....GAN chargers with multi ports (100watts) are excellent if you've got many devices from different brands. It charges my Macbook at max capacity and same goes for all Samsung devices.
I've been using the nothing one charger I bought separately when I had nothing phone. It supports fast charging upto 30w and it is fast enough for me. It also looks a lot better than samsung's charger
