Is anyone using a third party charger/cable that can charge Poco F3 above 18W (Fast Charging)? Or is the original charger/cable the only one that can charge higher (at 33W)?

It's proprietary

do watch out for many many many many fakes on laz/shopee, they have tricks to trick your phone into showing Mi Turbo Charge but it's charging slowly

I think you may be able to get 20W PD with a USBC PD Charger, but that's not a major increase

Yeah I'm aware the 33W Mi Turbo Charging is proprietary and can only be achieved with the original charger and cable, but is the Poco F3 not able to achieve up to 27W (9V/3A) under PD/QC protocols? Or is every other third party charger only capable to achieve max 18W (Fast Charging)?

There is this charger from Mcdodo that is apparently able to fully charge Redmi K40 in 52 minutes, which implies that it atleast charges up to 27W since it is close to the charging time of the original charger at 33W. No idea if it is truly capable of that.

My experience with McDodo CH-859 47w charger is that I can charge my F3 at 27w (using type A port)
usually I use it during outstation work with the type C port charging my iphone 13 PM at 20W and F3 at 27W
this speed doest work with other GAN chargers like UGreen 100W or kuulaa 65w, the other 2 GAN chargers that I have available

Your other two Higher Watt GAN chargers will charge your F3 at a lower W? Damn Xiaomi/Poco very picky with chargers.

I got the McDodo CH-091 33W Charger, charges my F3 at 23W (C port) or 18W (A port). Luckily McDodo chargers are able to charge F3 above 18W.

battery on my Poco F3 is bloated. but phone is otherwise fine. however, mi service center says i need to replace the FPC as well.

any idea if this is true?

For me usually if I change battery, I just change the ribbon connectors and the port together at the same time since they don't cost much iirc. Does it cost a lot based on their quote?
