iPhone caps its own charging around 20-30W regardless of charger wattage, while Samsung's Super Fast Charging reaches 45W and many Xiaomi models support 67-120W — meaning Android flagships often charge measurably faster in real-world use despite similar-looking charger specs.
Quick answer for cross-brand comparisons
At the charger level, wattage numbers look comparable, but the phone's own charging chip is the real limiter — iPhone tops out around 20-30W no matter the charger, while many Xiaomi and Samsung flagships accept far more. Browse the Chargers collection for options across brands.
FAQs
Does a higher-wattage charger make an iPhone charge as fast as a Samsung? No — the iPhone's internal charging limit, not the charger, is what caps its speed.
Real Charging Speed Comparison
| Phone | Max Charging Speed | Genuine Charger at AvaNext | Price (PKR) |

| Samsung Galaxy (Super Fast Charging) | Up to 45W | Samsung 45W USB-C PD | 4,200 |
| Xiaomi flagship models | Up to 67-120W (model dependent) | Third-party high-wattage PD chargers | Varies |
Why iPhone Charges Slower Despite Similar Chargers
Apple prioritizes long-term battery health over peak charging speed, deliberately capping how much power the iPhone accepts even from a high-wattage charger — this is a design choice, not a charger limitation.
What This Means for Mixed-Device Households
If your household has both iPhone and Samsung/Xiaomi users, a single high-wattage charger (45W+) serves everyone — the iPhone simply uses less of it, while the Android device takes advantage of the full output.
