Looking for a cheap fast charging phone? The Infinix Note 30 VIP has you covered. It offers a 68W wired charging solution, which is among the fastest in its class, but also 50W wireless charging, which is unprecedented in its price range.
Infinix 68W Wall Charger and 50W Wireless Charging Pad
The Note 30 VIP’s predecessor, the Note 12 VIP, had significantly faster 120W wired charging, but the 30 VIP takes a more balanced approach, where you don’t need a cable for fast charging. This is one of the few phones with wireless charging that ranks first in the sub-$300 category, let alone one that’s as fast.
Infinix 50W Wireless Charger
That’s why we thought we’d run our usual charging tests and see if Infinix can achieve its ambitious goals. It’s important to remember that to achieve the full wireless speed you need the proprietary 67W charging brick, which you must purchase separately (a 15W wireless charger is included in the sales package). On the other hand the wall charger is included and it supports Power Delivery on PPS. The charger offers 5V/2A, 11V/6.2A or 4-21V/3.25A for up to 68W nominal.
Without further ado, here’s how the Note 30 VIP stacks up against similarly priced competition in terms of top-ups. We haven’t included wireless times for the rest as they just don’t support it.
As you can see, the Infinix Note 30 VIP is not the fastest charging smartphone in its class, but it is certainly among the best. It is minutes away from the Poco X5 Pro and is as fast as the Redmi Note 12 Pro, both with 67W charging solutions.
However, when it comes to wireless charging, we were really surprised how close it is to wired charging. The 50W wireless charging pad is just one percentage point behind the 67W wired charger on the 15-minute and 30-minute marks. The gap widens over time, but only slightly. So, if you are looking for a budget phone and you like wireless charging, this is definitely one to consider.
