Poco X8 Pro very slow battery charge

Hi,

I recently got the Poco X8 Pro (UK version, Android 16, Os version 3.0.5.0), and noticed that the battery charging is really slow.

I am using the Warp Charge 30 power adapter Warp Type-C cable that came with my old phone, OnePlus Nord CE 5G, and I am getting nowhere near the same charging speeds that I got before.

Using AccuBattery to check, the poco x8 pro gets between 4-6.5w when charging and takes around 2.5 hours (20% to 80%). I've tried it on both balanced and top speed and with smart charge on and off and there isn't much difference.

When I charge my old phone, I get between 12-23w and it takes around 50 minutes (20% to 100%). I understand that it's a smaller battery but I don't understand why the wattage it receives is lower.

Are there any other settings I need to try? Thanks

Hi.

I'm looking into getting either the Poco X8 Pro with 8gb RAM (the 12gb RAM is out of my price range) or the Moto Edge 60 Neo.

The question I have is, is 4gb more RAM, which I would get with the Edge 60 Neo better than having a better processor (Poco has Dimensity 8500 Ultra vs Moto Dimensity 7400)?

If I throw the Honor 400 into the fix, how does that stack up?

FYI: I'm based in the UK

Thanks.
