I don’t get it

Why would you want your battery to change so fast? It gets hot and isn’t great for the battery. I just want all day battery life and then a trickle change overnight. My current phone does that

sunzu2 ,

BC you forgot and you got 5 min before you got to leave.

Fast charging is best feature we got in last three cycles IMHO

I’m just waiting for capacitors to replace batteries. I read a really promising article recently and it said they figured out how to make a capacitor hold more energy much longer which means when that comes to market leaving your phone charging overnight will be a thing of the past.

That’s not going to happen

SGG ,

Capacitors replacing batteries like this, similar to nuclear fusion power, is always only X years away.

This is dumb, just display the charging rate. Why bother with these generic contextless adjectives?

SGG ,

Because many people are not smart. If they buy a 65w charger and see only 60w being pulled they’ll complain that either the charger or phone is defective and want a refund.

I would like to see it as an option to enable, at the moment though I just have a few cables that measure/display this for me. It’s a useful basic troubleshooting tool with laptops and phones. If you plug them in and dont see any current or only 0.1w, you know there’s a problem with the device getting power.

45W is still not really fast though, Moto is at 50. Wirelessly. Wired at 125.

But to be fair, Apple is at ~30W. And that’s just sad.

Lojcs ,

Isn’t apple at 18W?

20W claimed maximum. Actual measured 26W.

Don’t use these super fast charging rates. They aren’t good for your battery.

I got an ASUS ROG phone because you can set it to charge slower, and stop at 80%. The battery longevity will be better.

RamblingPanda ,

My OnePlus 8T lasted over five years and to be honest would probably still be ok, and it charged at 65 W. That’s way faster than the pixel 8 pro I use now. Batteries have gotten way better than they used to be.

Steve ,

It probably lost 20+% of it’s max charge in that time. That’s what I’m talking about.

RamblingPanda ,

I know, but I’ve had that with every device, no matter the charging speed.

And lowers the bar for overheating and longevity.

leisesprecher ,

I just got a new phone (reluctantly) and it feels like 90% of the “features” are useless marketing gimmicks.

Most people still use their phones for very similar purposes to 2016 or even 2012. Instead of providing properly optimized software and batteries that last weeks, we get these huge heavy expensive unoptimized pieces of techno garbage. And of course they need fast charging, otherwise you’d be wired to a charter half the time.

I’m practically forced to spend 10€ per month, even if I’m hesitant to buy new stuff, just to have a reasonable phone. That’s crazy.

bdonvr ,

That bar is still way slow. My phone can charge at 100watts, 0 to 100% in less than 30 minutes. Most American brands are way behind.

Name ,

How long will the battery last? In lifetime I mean

bdonvr ,

I mean it really doesn’t get as hot as I’d had thought it would which is apparently the big longevity killer. And the way they help manage these huge wattages is splitting the battery into multiple cells.

Chinese brands have had super fast charging for more than 5 years now and I don’t think I’ve heard too much in the way of massively increased battery degradation.
