OnePlus 5T Battery: 0 to 100 in 4,620 Seconds

The Pixel 2 XL features a pretty nicely sized 3,520mAh battery. It's not the biggest battery we've seen in an Android device, but it's definitely beats something like the Galaxy Note 8's 3,300mAh battery by a smidge. With the Pixel 2 XL featuring Google's "Rapid Charging," I was curious to see how the phone compared against alternative methods like Samsung's Adaptive Fast Charging, or the OnePlus 5's Dash Charging.

I ran the battery down to 0% and closely monitored how long it would take to full charge the Pixel 2 XL. For this test, I used the stock Type-C to Type-C cable that came in the box, along with the stock charger that outputs at 5V/3A (regular) or 9V/2A (Rapid Charging). The results? The phone took a surprising 163 minutes to fully charge or 9,780 seconds depending on how you want to look at it. You can find a more detailed breakdown below.

OnePlus 5T Charging Time

• 0 min – 0%
• 10 min – 18%
• 20 min – 35%
• 30 min – 55%
• 40 min – 75%
• 50 min – 87%
• 60 min – 93%
• 70 min – 98%
• 77 min – 100%

Total: 1 hour, 17 min

It's certainly worth mentioning that full charge times typically aren't too different between devices. That's just the way fast charging works. What you want to pay attention to is how quickly the phone hits 50% – 75%. After that is where charging speeds are throttled and you usually see a dip in charging speeds to preserve battery health.

By comparison, the exact same sized 3,300mAh battery on the OnePlus 5 charged to 60% in only 30 minutes (only a hair faster than the 5T) while the Galaxy Note 8's 3,300mAh battery took 1 hour and 47 min to fully charge (40 min to hit 50%), and the Pixel 2 XL took an entire 2 hours and 43 min (almost an hour to hit 50%). So the OnePlus 5T not only hits 50%-75% faster than the competition, but can fully charge in the shortest time possible as well.

Fast charging speeds are more of an added benefit when it comes to Android devices and while a slow charging device can be an inconvenience, it's rarely a deal breaker.
