The video starts with both phones at 1 percent battery. However, OnePlus 11 takes an incredible 31 minutes to charge fully to 100 percent. The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra takes a good 1 hour and 18 minutes to get to the final line. There’s almost 47 minutes time gap between the phones. This is despite using a 120W charging adapter for the Samsung flagship. The video is a testament to show how incredibly fast the charging speeds are on OnePlus phones, for that matter even brands like Realme, Xiaomi, Vivo, and OPPO too offer similar speeds.

Samsung and Apple are yet to catch up with the charging game as the competition is driving past them by a good margin.
