Which fast chargers work best with the OnePlus 12R?

Question

so i just finally pulled the trigger on the oneplus 12r cause my old iphone 11 was literally dying every 4 hours and it took like two hours to charge back up which is just insane in 2024 tbh... like i couldnt even go to the grocery store without a power bank attached to it like an iv drip. i really needed something with crazy battery and fast charging so i went with the 12r but now im realizing the whole charging situation is kinda confusing with the proprietary stuff. i know it supports like 80w or 100w depending on where you live but i didnt realize it needs a specific brick to actually hit those speeds and i really dont wanna spend a fortune if i dont have to since i already stretched my budget for the phone itself.

im basically torn between two options right now and i need to order something like today because i have a trip coming up this weekend and i cant be stuck with a slow charger. option one is the official oneplus 100w dual port supervooc power adapter which is expensive but i know itll work for sure. but then i see these gan chargers like the anker 737 or the ugreen nexode 100w ones and they look so much better because i could use them for my laptop too and they are a bit cheaper on amazon right now. i heard oneplus uses some weird pps or vooc protocol and if i get the anker one it might only charge at like 18w or something slow which would totally defeat the purpose of getting this phone...

has anyone actually tested these? if i buy a 3rd party gan charger am i gonna get that lightning fast charging or am i forced to buy the official one to see those 30 minute charge times? i really need the speed because i travel a lot for work and i usually only have like 15 mins at an airport to top off... which one is actually gonna work best for the 12r?

To add to the point above: oh man this is EXACTLY my thing lol. I spent way too much money testing this stuff when I got my 12R because I hate carrying multiple bricks. Ngl I tried to cheat the system with high-end GaN stuff but OnePlus is stingy with their proprietary protocols. Heres what I found after literally timing them with a power meter:OnePlus 100W Dual Port SUPERVOOC Power Adapter: This is the only one that actually hits the warp speeds. I got from 1% to 100% in like 27 minutes. It feels like MAGIC compared to an old iPhone.Anker 737 Charger GaNPrime 120W: I love Anker but for the 12R it is a massive letdown. It defaults to standard PD charging so you only get like 18W or maybe 27W if the stars align. It took over an hour to charge... huge YIKES when youre used to the fast stuff.Ugreen Nexode 100W USB C Wall Charger: Basically the same story as the Anker. Great for my laptop but the OnePlus just wont talk to it properly for the high speeds. I even tried some random "super fast" cables but if the brick isnt SUPERVOOC certified you are stuck in the slow lane. Its lowkey annoying that we cant just use one universal brick for everything at max speed but anyway... bottom line is if you want that 15-minute airport top-off to actually work you HAVE to get the official one.

I've owned every OnePlus since the 3T and the situation hasn't changed. They lock top speeds to proprietary tech. I tried using a Ugreen Nexode 100W USB C Charger last year and it was garbage for this phone. Buy the OnePlus 100W Dual Port SUPERVOOC Power Adapter. It is the only brick that handles the SuperVOOC protocol and laptop PD charging at the same time.
