Not my phone coming without a charger, just a USB-A to USB-C cable and the specification "Supports 18W Fast-charging".
I was trying different chargers with different cables. They all defaulted to the standard 7.5W charging. The phone took 4 - 5 hours starting from 30 - 40% every time, with that massive battery.
Everytime I searched up compatible chargers, as the brand's original charger is not available, it came back with the same type of chargers as I'm using. Standard 18W QC3 USB-A + 20W USB-PD port combo.
Today I finally tried to plug it into the USB-C port of the charger, with the help of my one single fast-charging compatible USB-C to USB-C cable.
"Oh yeah, jumps to 7 watts immediately. Same old as alwa- 7.9 watts?? 8 watts???? 8.9 watts????? 12.9 WATTS?????!!!"
Turns out the phone supports 18W via USB-PD and the manufacturer's proprietary USB-A quick charging.
Tomorrow first, I'm off to buy a USB-C cable for fast-charging, so the phone has its own cable.
I wasted a month on this.

The no charger thing wasn't an inconvenience for me. Sure, you don't exactly have a dedicated charger out of the box, but I already have a few multi-port chargers, so... the original would've just been collecting dust.
I bought especially a 100W USB-C of two meters when I bought my battery pack able to charge a laptop. I can't charge my vape stick with it, and it already broke a headphone. Maximum pulled on screen so far is like 45W or something with laptop. 😑
Accupack - best investment ever. 💯
Actually, I also had, besides that, also buy a charger because I have many of those things in house, but they do not pull so hard. Only crap. 😒
