No more waiting to charge your phone because bypass charging is now within reach at prices below 10K!
Bypass charging has been around for some time but it remains an exclusive feature to a limited number of devices. That’s why some brands are bringing it to the masses to let more people have a taste of it.
In this article, we picked five smartphones priced under 10K with bypass charging enabled out of the box. You can now play your favorite games and watch your beloved series nonstop.
Disclaimer: Bypass charging is a hardware-based feature. While true bypass is exclusive to higher models, certain brands have a replicated version for lower-end offerings.
Infinix NOTE 40
The all-around Infinix NOTE 40 is powered by MediaTek Helio G99 Ultimate, 8 GB of RAM, and 256 GB of ROM. It’s a decent midranger capable of shooting high-resolution images, doing light and moderate gaming, and accomplishing day-to-day tasks.
For about 9K, this smartphone is a perfect entertainment companion with bypass charging during your rest days, thanks to:
- 6.78-inch AMOLED screen with 120Hz refresh rate
- 1080p resolution
- Stereo speakers
- JBL and DTS sound engines
The device supports 45 W wired charging and 20 W wireless charging and can even help out other devices via reverse charging. Sadly, you can’t charge and use wired earphones because this one lacks a 3.5 mm headphone jack.
itel RS4
Also powered by Helio G99 Ultimate, the itel RS4 is a compact gaming companion with a racing design and polished back visual or faux leather. Compared to many other budget gaming phones, this one sports:
- 120Hz refresh rate
- 8GB RAM
- Hard gyroscope
- Z-axis motor
- 360-degree antenna
- Stereo speakers
With bypass charging, you can play action games for hours on end. But if charging while gaming for long periods is becoming uncomfortable, you can wait for the phone to juice up with its 45 W charging speed.
At around 6K, you can’t really complain about the 720p resolution and 128 GB storage. But at least you can use the phone with wired earphones while charging.
itel P65
A cyber-themed smartphone, the itel P65 is equipped with the Unisoc T615 CPU and 5,000 mAh battery. This decent mobile gaming companion lets you enjoy MOBA and FPS titles with bypass charging.
For under 5K, the smartphone features a complementary set of specs like 720p display with 120 Hz refresh rate and 4 GB of RAM paired with 128 GB of storage. That said, is bypass charging really worth it on this unit? Here are three possible use cases:
- Non-stop streaming: Binge watch without worrying about low battery.
- Non-stop gaming: Time to get the perfect spot and AFK your character for 24 hours or more.
- Non-stop connectivity: Use the device as a hotspot and share your internet with your friends.
nubia Neo 2 5G
This is the most expensive model here but it also has the highest raw performance. Powered by Unisoc T820, it can handle 5G, everyday tasks, and even up to hardcore gaming, depending on the in-game graphics.
The nubia Neo 2 5G also comes with a 120 Hz 1080p 6.72-inch IPS LCD display, 8 GB of RAM, and 256 GB of ROM. Even if you don’t need bypass charging, the device features a 6,000 mAh battery capacity and 33 W charging speed.
What may motivate you to game for hours is the pressure trigger zones for console-like experience. You can customize these buttons to your liking.
Another reason for its price tag is the 3.5 mm headphone jack – charge and game at the same time.
TECNO POVA 6 Neo
If you want unlimited power, the TECNO POVA 6 Neo could be the best fit. For around 8K, you have the decent Helio G99 Ultimate, 8 GB of RAM, and 128 GB of ROM.
The 6.78-inch screen is quite good with 1080p resolution and 120 Hz refresh rate. It also has stereo speakers and a 3.5 mm headphone jack. Yet the selling point is the 7,000 mAh battery capacity and 33 W charging on top of bypass charging.
This is a literal powerhouse for your entertainment needs. It doesn’t matter if you’re AFKing, binge watching, or hotspotting, the device will almost never fail you. It has a better chance of pulling an all-nighter than you.
