9 Ultra-fast charging systems that will save you time

Ultra-fast charging systems allow you to top up your devices in minutes. But are they worth your money? And which charger should you buy? Here’s our look at the options.

• What is the fastest charging system? Huawei Super Charge offers the fastest uptake of power at 46.57mAh/min.
• Which is faster to charge: Samsung or Apple? Samsung is the winner here. In fact, iPhones are surprisingly slow.
• Does fast charging reduce battery life? Perhaps, although temperature is more of a problem. Try to avoid leaving your charging phone in sunlight.
