Isn't the charger 5V/10A, not 10V/5A? Later in the same article it even says it's a 5V charger.

honestly quick charge is a requirements... nowaday i dont even need powerbank as my car have quick charge simple plug the phone during my driving and unplug will have additional 20 - 30% for a short 30min drive.
Even in the office a simple charge will carry me for another half day even if i am a heavy user. All my phone charge frequently and the wear and tear issue isnt a big one. Iphone dont have quickcharge yet their battery degrade over time, so what is the big deal?

The big question is does it charge at all with standard quick charge 3 fast wall chargers and quick charge 3 powerbanks, and if it does, does it charge at the expected quick charge 3 rate or much slower? It's important to know because you can sometimes forget to bring the proprietary superVOOC charger and may have to borrow someone else's quick charger 3 wall charger or quick charge 3 equipped powerbank which are the most common chargers around.

Two smaller batteries charge faster than one bigger.
That's the case.

Super VOOC charging is the fastest and safest because it took millions of dollars to make it possible.
Why you put "stupid"?
It's legit fast!
But yeah. It also reduces the battery life too. So...
Normal charging method is a go.

20% at ~10.55am
80% at ~11.10am
So that's 20%->80% for 3,400mAh (essentially 2,000mAh charged) in 15 minutes.
I would TRADE wireless charging for this stat. And wouldn't need mobile powerbanks.
It would also mean ditching Glass Backs, probably Kevlar is the best material (durable, strong, flexible, light, non-scratch), and just put in a large cell like 5,000mAh and call it a day. Wouldn't even need removable battery, I could keep IP68 waterproofing too.
This is the future solution for longer endurance, not Apple's method.

Anonymous, 08 Oct 2018So it's fast it's not good for the battery won't last long ... moreWell maybe you should use your brain for once so you'll know how to use the tech instead of making lame excuses not to endorse it.

While OPPO/OnePlus method is technically superior, it requires a non-standard cable. And that's kind of an issue. You can only use their own cables to charge, while with QuickCharge you can use any cable.

Galaxy Note 9, 07 Oct 2018Look at the last one in the chart, the usual suspect as far... moreKind of disappointing given that you're paying a huge sum of money for a smartphone. Yeah the smartphone itself is premium, but not the stuff that comes out of the box though...

simply next gen. from hours to minutes, funny thing is, it should last while you use it ~1-2years and you charge to full capacity. Its way different than certain brand/s charging in forever pace be it from zero or 90%, phone endurance depends on how much battery is charged and sometimes happens you got just few minutes...
Can imagine how apple users feel, tried slow charging using powerbank, its more like bot charging if you try to even use the phone. Tossed that thing away, no worth my time is precious. But it was not for 999$€.

This have been discussed for quite a long time already, Qualcomm's approach to charging is to increase voltage, whereas for OnePlus/OPPO they go for higher ampere rating instead of voltage. I guess Qualcomm haven't figured it out? Lol

It has twin 1750 mah battery, so you can raise wattage higher cause it's 2 battery instead of 1

In any case, when you don't need such fast charging, it's actually the voltage that gets lowered, so you get less heat while charging speed is still reasonably fast.
Even 5V/5A would be enough for me, but 10V/5A without dealing that much damage to the battery is indeed a massive achievement by Oppo right there.

Great job done by Oppo. The only question is whether this will kill the battery faster than usual. If not, then this achievement is highly significant.
No need to bash iPhone chargers. If you have decided to eat Apple, you have decided to pay high without much benefits anyway!

As far as I am aware, the "let it die, then charge to 100%" rule came about with the old NiCAD batteries of yester year. Indeed some old recharging technologies used to actually deplete your battery to zero and then charge to full (possibly not phone ones, can't remember). Modern Li batteries fare better when charged between 20% to 80%.
On another note, the figure for the iPhone is worse than the % suggests. It has a smaller battery, so 18% of that is not half of a 36% charge on a bigger battery. Depending on size of battery, it could be a third of the charge. Just my observation.

I honestly don't know the benefits/implications of fast charging. I have read everything from it makes no difference to it deteriorates battery longevity. I also read it's better to give phones short bursts of frequent charging. Others say it's best to give it one overnight charge. And more that say not to change it to 100 percent ever. My charging patterns vary and I have never used/owned fast charging phones, and battery life does deteriorate over 2 to 3 years anyway. I keep my phones for long. Could anybody in the know or with first hand experience share their take here? Thank you.
