OnePlus 3Ts Dash Charge goes up against Google Pixel XLs USB PD in video battle of fast charging tech

OnePlus unveiled the 3T yesterday, as you may know. Its a OnePlus 3 lookalike that comes with improved specs, one of which is a bigger battery capacity. The 3,400 mAh cell should hopefully ensure a good days use for anyone, but what about how fast you can charge it? Like the OnePlus 3 before it, the OnePlus 3T uses Dash Charge, a proprietary technology that the company claims is among the fastest out there.

To prove its point, OnePlus created the video you can see below, in which it compares the charging time for its latest handset to that of the Google Pixel XL.

The Pixel XL has a similar battery capacity to the OnePlus 3T, but its fair to note that it is slightly bigger at 3,450 mAh. Googles phone uses the standard, non-p roprietary USB-PD (Power Delivery) charging tech over USB Type-C, so the test is a decent way of comparing these two different implementations of basically the same idea - that your phone should charge as fast as possible.

In case it wasnt obvious from the fact that the video was posted by OnePlus, the 3T wins. In 30 minutes of charging from 1%, it reaches 56%, while the Pixel XL only goes to 49%. After one hour of charging, theyre at 92% and 71%, respectively. Finally, after an hour and a half the OnePlus 3T is fully charged, whereas the Pixel XL is just at 92%. Googles handset is fully charged in two hours.
