Loony Fast Charging for Motorola

Inside the Edge 50 Pro box (at least, here in the UK) there's a 125W TurboCharging brick and a decent-looking USB-C to USB-C cable. Sometimes, just sometimes, not routinely, this can be worth its weight in gold! It produces staggeringly fast charge-speeds, from 0-100% in less than 20 minutes. (Yes, I know there are less mainstream devices that claim faster, but Moto is much more widely sold, globally.)

You seem to need to use their supplied charger to get that max Turbo speed, but my UGreen 100W GaN ain't far behind - unlike Oppo et al where just about anything else apart from their supplied VOOC will drop you down to very slow speeds.

Perhaps there's been a power cut (very common here) in the night and you wake up with no charge. Or you're out sightseeing caning the camera shooting holiday video. Watching a video/film using HDMI-Out/Smart Connect to your hotel's TV. Plug in, have a cuppa or a shower, or perhaps a cuppa in the shower - and Fanny's your aunt! A fully charged phone to get going with. It really is a feature that the Big Boys in mobile need to get (back) onto, even if they are frightened of battery longevity (people routinely charging this way). Or Samsung fires! Time to move on!

This particular phone also has 50W wireless charging available and even 10W reverse-wireless thrown in. (Note: In some regions, it comes with a 68W charger in the box instead of 125W.) At time of writing, the 512GB/12GB Black Beauty version is available via AmazonEU for £385, down from £599,
