Which fast chargers are actually recommended for the OnePlus 12R cuz I need to buy one like right now? Im ditching my S10 because the battery is trash and I need fast charging on a budget, but I read SuperVOOC is picky and some say third party works while others say it wont...
TL;DR: Buy a used <a href=" https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw= OnePlus+Warp+Charge+65W+Power+Adapter&_sacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p4624852.m570.l1311&mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&siteid=0&campid=5337998953&customid=22&toolid=10001&mkevt=1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow sponsored">OnePlus Warp Charge 65W Power Adapter. The 80W hype is a marketing tax. Real-world tests show 65W units charge the 12R in about 40 minutes. Paying double for an 80W brick to save five minutes is illogical. Pair the 65W block with a <a href=" https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw= OnePlus+Warp+Charge+Type-C+Cable&_sacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p4624852.m570.l1311&mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&siteid=0&campid=5337998953&customid=22&toolid=10001&mkevt=1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow sponsored">OnePlus Warp Charge Type-C Cable.

Ensure any cable you purchase is specifically rated for 8A or 10A. Using a standard USB-C cable will throttle your charging speed regardless of how powerful the wall plug is.
Look, dont buy generic junk. Listen, SuperVOOC needs a specific handshake or it wont fast charge. Ngl most third party blocks are TRASH for this phone.
