Moto G3 charging time

[Phagocyte93]

I am using an Indian Moto G3. 16 GB variant.

The charger packed along with the phone takes 3 hours for 0->100%. Can I use some other charger that will do it faster? Please let me know. And will using a different charger damage the phone?

This is a big deal for me. Thanks in advance.

you should have no problem using a different charger. i use a quickcharger (not that this has QC capabilities, but i have one from my other phone here at work) as well as a 1.5A and 2.0A charger at home, there's only been a couple charge cycles so far but no issues.

i haven't had any issue using various chargers with any of my phones, the bigger difference will be using a cheap charger vs a quality one.

the weak charger included is most likely a way to cut costs down, which is also why it's not a usb cable with an adapter, but an integrated charger.

i also use a 1.5A charger with my moto 360 vs the crappy one they included in that, no issues so far.

You can use up to a 2A charger, which should cut charge time in half.

Have u used a 2A charger on the G3? Charge times?

I use a premium brand charger 2.4A output takes about 2+hr to fully charge. Won't use the pathetic 550mA charger came with my phone. For $235 with tax cheaporola could include a better charger with a separate good quality usb cable.
