How to charge your smartphone in 20 minutes: the easy way

Often, your smartphone runs out of power at the most inopportune moment, and you need to quickly recharge it. Conventional methods, such as closing apps or turning off Bluetooth, can help, but there are more effective methods to speed up the process.

OBOZ.UA publishes tips on how to charge your smartphone quickly and without damaging the gadget. Using these tips will help you get your device ready for use in the shortest possible time.

Airplane mode

By activating Airplane Mode, the phone stops searching for mobile networks, which reduces the load on the battery. Although this slightly reduces the charging time (by a few minutes according to CNET tests), this method can be useful when you need even a minimal speed boost.

Turn off the phone

The easiest but most effective way is to turn off your smartphone while charging. This way, the battery will not waste energy on background processes and network connections, which will speed up the process.

Charging from an outlet

Connecting to a laptop or other USB port charges the phone much slower than charging from a wall outlet. In some cases, the difference can be up to an hour.

Shorter cable

The length of the charging cable also affects the charging speed. The shorter the cable, the less energy is lost, which will help speed up the process. Choose high-quality, short cords for more efficient charging.

Remove the case

Overheating can slow down charging because the battery is less efficient at high temperatures. If your phone is getting hot, remove the case, especially in summer or during heavy use.

Check battery level

Frequent battery checks also consume power because the screen is turned on, which is one of the biggest power consumers. In order not to interfere with charging, try not to check the phone frequently or reduce the screen brightness.
