After listing the smartphones with the best battery that have recently passed through the TechSmart countertops, here we will list those that spend less time tied to outlets so you can choose the best one to buy in 2020.
Unfortunately, not all smartphones have accelerated charging. This type of technology is still rare to be found in simpler models, so don’t expect cheap models to recharge in less than 2h. Exceptions will be rare. Our guide includes the top five among the entry-level, mid-range, and top-of-the-line models.
Here we limit only recently launched devices that can still be easily found in the market. If any imported model is included in the list, we will also include a link to a store we trust so that you can safely import yours.
The one that charges the fastest is not always the one that delivers the best autonomy, and vice versa. But for those who don’t have the patience to stay without a cell phone for a long time, it’s worth keeping an eye on the best ones we’ve tested. We’ll also include our review video and a link to the full review so you can check out other aspects of the device and not just buy based on battery recharge time.

LG got its hands on its basic K40s and K50s, but it just lacked a decent charger to make them not stay stuck in sockets for so long. This was corrected in the 2020 releases and the K51s takes almost the same time to recharge as the A11, but the autonomy yields less. Who knows it doesn’t get better with Android 10?

Samsung has increased the battery in the A21s, but the range hasn’t seen a gain that we expected. In return, the recharge time ended up increasing, but it’s still better than most of the basic phones we tested in 2020. You have to wait a little more than 2 hours to have the battery recharged, the same as LG’s rivals.
