How long do you charge a new phone

The time it takes to charge a new phone depends on several factors, including:

1. Phone model: Different phones have varying battery capacities and charging speeds. For example, a phone with a 4000mAh battery may take longer to charge than one with a 3000mAh battery.
2. Charging method: Using a wall adapter or a USB-C cable can affect charging speed. USB-C cables, for instance, can charge faster than traditional micro-USB cables.
3. Power output: The power output of the charger or power bank can impact charging speed. A charger with a higher power output (e.g., 18W) can charge a phone faster than one with a lower power output (e.g., 5W).
4. Initial battery health: A brand new phone's battery may not be fully charged, which can affect charging speed.

Here are some general guidelines for charging a new phone:

• Fast charging: Most modern phones support fast charging, which can charge the battery to 80% in about 30-45 minutes. For example:
  • Samsung Galaxy S21: 25W fast charging, 50% in 30 minutes, 100% in 1 hour 15 minutes
  • Apple iPhone 13: 20W fast charging, 50% in 30 minutes, 100% in 1 hour 15 minutes
• Standard charging: Without fast charging, a phone may take around 2-3 hours to fully charge:
  • Samsung Galaxy S21: 2 hours 30 minutes to fully charge
  • Apple iPhone 13: 2 hours 30 minutes to fully charge
• Power bank charging: If you're using a power bank to charge your phone, the charging time will depend on the power bank's capacity and the phone's charging speed. For example:
  • A 10,000mAh power bank can charge a phone to 100% in about 2-3 hours

Keep in mind that these are general estimates, and actual charging times may vary depending on your specific phone and charging setup.
