Hello,

Can I use my usb-c laptop charger to charge my Poco F1 ?
This is the charger:


It will act as a fast charger or it will brick my phone?

Thank you.

it'll probably work

but I've seen arduinos fry because they were plugged into the USB C port on the newest macbook while it was plugged into the charger

I often charge my Poco with my 65W charger. No Problem so far.
Even my OnePlus Wireless Bullets I charge with the 64W charger

Not responsible if your burn your house down or something lol

The phone and adapter should communicate with each other. It will pull only as much as the phone requests. I've used a Motorola 25 watt charger on my phone...and the measured pull is only 18W.

But it's better to be safe than sorry.

Even you use 500W charger if it will launch in Future. Poco F1 will gonna take only upto 18W power to charge itself.

The phone is the one that decides how much power it wants to get. The charger just provides whatever it has to offer that's why these brick chargers have lots of modes set as it's output. There's should be no problem hooking your phone to these power bricks as every power needs proper handshake before delivery.

if this was 10 years ago you will probably fry your phone, but nowadays smartphones are really smart. they will determine the best and maximum voltage/ampere to charge themselves.
