How to charge the phone faster? In this guide, you will find a few simple tips that will help your smartphone recover energy quickly and safely.
The next generations of phones offer ever faster charging standards. You don't have to (and you shouldn't even connect your smartphone for the whole night) - just a few dozen minutes is enough to gain energy for the whole day of use. We advise you on how to charge your phone faster.
Buy the fastest charger possible
It's trivial, but it doesn't have to be obvious. You - as a tech savvy - realize that sometimes manufacturers cut costs. There are many examples, but you should always check the specification for the maximum supported charging power. You may be surprised to find a slower one in the sales kit (for example - Samsung Galaxy S20 FE supports 25W charging, and there is a 15W adapter in the box).

There are also many models (Samsung Galaxy S21 series, many Nokia models) that do not have any charger included. Then do not go to the market and buy the cheapest one with a suitable plug - you waste a lot of time, and you do not save the battery at all.
Do not charge your phone in the sun
The greatest enemy of any battery is heat. For this reason, many manufacturers put the entire fast charging system not in the phone (close to the battery) but in the charger itself. By keeping the temperature lower, you will charge your phone faster, safer and more efficiently. Avoid leaving it in the sunny part of the room (or by the radiator). For the same reason, it is worth taking the phone out of the protective case for charging.

The same goes for wireless chargers - it's better to keep them in the cooler parts of the room.
Turn on airplane mode or turn off your phone and don't use your phone while it's charging
This is obvious, but who wants to do it? However, if you care about time, at least turn on the airplane mode (icon on the notification bar or Settings-> WiFi and Network-> Airplane mode) and do not take the phone in your hand. We've already talked about it - use, even if it's simple, involves the use of a processor. This in turn translates into an increase in temperature and less efficient charging.
The fastest way to charge your smartphone is when you turn it off completely. Just set it aside for several minutes and enjoy a fast charged battery after a while.

Do not fully charge it
I left something a little less obvious at the end. You may have noticed that the charge curve is not linear and the process slows down more noticeably after it reaches about 70%. This is because software algorithms limit the supplied current due to resistance. Again, this is to extend the battery life over several months of use.
Now you know everything about fast phone charging. Perhaps you will also be interested in the guide on how to extend the battery life of your smartphone. This is not problematic and will be useful for users who rarely replace their equipment.
