Apple\u2019s flagship handset \u2014 iPhone 17 Pro \u2014 claimed the crown as the fastest-charging phone in a rigorous new lab test, beating out rivals from Samsung, Google, Motorola, and more, according to a new report.<\/p>\n

iPhone 17 Pro wins charging speed test<\/h2>\n

CNET\u2019s lab team put 33 current smartphones through their paces over the past year, evaluating both wired and wireless charging performance. Rather than testing under ideal or artificial conditions, the publication focused on the scenario most of us actually find ourselves in: a phone nearly drained to empty. And iPhone 17 Pro, a key part of an immensely popular lineup, came out on top.<\/p>\n

In the test, each device was taken down to a maximum of 10% battery, then given a 30-minute charge \u2014 either wired or wireless \u2014 to see how much juice it could recover. The final rankings were determined by averaging each phone\u2019s wired and wireless scores into a single composite result.<\/p>\n

When wired and wireless results were combined, the iPhone 17 Pro landed at the top of the rankings, earning a CNET Labs Award for fastest overall charging phone tested in the past year.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s a significant achievement given the breadth of the competition. It included flagship and mid-range devices from across the Android ecosystem.<\/p>\n

A close race on wires \u2014 but Apple leads wirelessly<\/h3>\n

The wired charging results told a slightly different story. Samsung\u2019s Galaxy S26 Ultra edged ahead to claim the top spot there. It recovered 76% of battery in 30 minutes. iPhone 17 Pro came in joint second alongside the Motorola Moto G Stylus (2025). They both reached 74% in the same window. OnePlus 15 followed at 72%, with iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro Max and Samsung Galaxy S25 FE each hitting 69%.<\/p>\n

Where Apple truly dominated, however, was wireless charging:<\/p>\n
