While batteries on smartphones are crucial, their ability to charge faster is also important. Fast-charging phones are common today. You can find a phone with fast-charging technology for as low as Rs 10,000. However, the speed at which the battery charges varies. For a Rs 10,000 phone, 18W fast charging technology should be enough. Similarly, a phone for around Rs 30,000 will most likely have at least 33W fast charging, which is claimed to top up the battery in a little over one hour. If you are looking for a phone with a fast-charging battery under Rs 30,000 and are unable to decide, help is at hand.

We have handpicked a few smartphones that offer high charging speeds for their batteries. The biggest advantage of using a smartphone with a fast-charging battery is that you do not have to wait for long for your phone to get enough juice. Plug in your phone and after 10-15 minutes, you will have enough power to last a day. There is something for everyone, but it can be too overwhelming to find your perfect fast-charging phone.

OnePlus Nord CE 2

OnePlus Nord CE 2 comes with 65W fast charging technology that fills its 4500mAh battery in a little over 30 minutes. It is particularly useful when you are running short of time and have to get enough battery on your phone to last at least the next few hours. OnePlus bundles the fast charger in the box, so you will not have to face any issues getting to use the feature. The rest of the OnePlus Nord CE 2 specifications include a 6.43-inch FullHD display with Corning Gorilla Glass 5, a MediaTek Dimensity 900 5G, 8GB of RAM, 128GB of internal storage, 64-megapixel triple cameras, a 16-megapixel selfie camera, and 5G support.

The price of the OnePlus Nord CE 2 is Rs 23,999.

Oppo Reno 7

Another 65W fast-charging phone is the Oppo Reno 7. This phone takes the same time, a little over 30 minutes, to top up the battery of 4500mAh. If you want half the battery charged, the Oppo Reno 7 can do that in around 15 minutes. Apart from the fast-charging battery, the Oppo Reno 7 brings a beautiful design that you would love to flaunt. The specifications of the Oppo Reno 7 include a 6.43-inch FullHD AMOLED 90Hz display, a MediaTek Dimensity 900 processor, 8GB of RAM, 256GB of internal storage, 64-megapixel triple cameras, a 32-megapixel selfie camera, and Android 11-based ColorOS 12.

The Oppo Reno 7 costs Rs 28,999.

Xiaomi Mi 11i HyperCharge

If 65W is too slow for you, meet the Xiaomi Mi 11i HyperCharge. It is the fastest charging phone in its price segment with support for 120W output. Xiaomi claims that its Mi 11i HyperCharge can get full battery juice in just 15 minutes. That is half the time the 65W technology takes to charge a 4500mAh battery. This may be overkill for some, but if you prioritise fast-charging over everything else, the Mi 11i HyperCharge is the one to consider. The specifications of the Mi 11i HyperCharge include a 6.67-inch FullHD AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection, a MediaTek Dimensity 920 processor, 108-megapixel triple cameras, a 16-megapixel selfie camera, and a 4500mAh battery.

The price of the Xiaomi Mi 11i HyperCharge starts at Rs 26,999.

Realme 9 Pro Plus

If both 120W and 65W are overkill for you, why not go for a little slower 60W fast charging tech that you can find on the Realme 9 Pro Plus. The Realme 9 Pro Plus can fill its 4500mAh battery in around 40 minutes, which is slightly higher than the time taken by the 65W fast charging. Realme 9 Pro Plus is also the best camera phone in its price segment. The specifications of the Realme 9 Pro Plus include a 6.4-inch Super AMOLED display with a FullHD resolution and a 90Hz refresh rate, MediaTek Dimensity 920 processor, up to 8GB of RAM, 256GB of internal storage, a 50-megapixel flagship Sony camera, two other rear cameras, a 16-megapixel selfie camera, and a 4500mAh battery.

You can consider the Realme 9 Pro Plus for a starting price of Rs 24,999.

Vivo V23

The Vivo V23 brings the slowest battery charging speed in the sub-Rs 30,000 on our list. It supports only 44W fast charging, which, according to the company, can give around 68 per cent charge in 30 minutes. That is not bad at all and if it is not a concern for you, the Vivo V23 could be a good phone. The specifications of the Vivo V23 include a 6.44-inch FullHD HDR10+ 90Hz AMOLED display, a MediaTek Dimensity 920 processor, Android 12-based Funtouch 12, up to 12GB of RAM, 256GB of internal storage, a 64-megapixel triple camera setup on the back, 50-megapixel dual cameras on the front, and a 4200mAh battery.
