Here's two videos for you.. All hit around same peak temperature. 3rd class brands like Sony and Apple stay at hotter temperatures a lot more thereby getting degraded faster. Also regular li batteries inusse inside them start degrading after 300-400 cycles
Chinese brands give 600-800 before degradation

            I know that every soc in the world throttle, snapdragon does, A bionic does but not as super bad as exyons socs (except exynos 2100)

                  25W is slow by 2021 standards. They need to catch up to the faster charging crowd.

                  I still find it amazing that they actually lowered the charging speed of their flagship (S21 Ultra) from 45W to 25W (S20 Ultra). It's like they are moving in reverse?

                          Anonymous, 16 Jun 2021how would that work??? wouldn't it make more sense to... moreSome phones already do this or have such control. It just sends command to the charger at which rate it should charge. Same thing as auto negotiation between phone and charger, but here phone tells charger what rate to use. Some like Zenfone also have hard charge limit, so you can have phone on charger 24/7 and it'll only charge it up to 80% if you set it so and hang there forever and never go to 100%.

                                In the end, the 45W used by previous galaxy is not even 10 min faster than 25W.

                                Also, should be glad that it keeps phone below 35 celsius degrees, unlike chinese phones that charge about 42 degrees.

                                Check Tech Nick videos, those phones with faster charging are always reaching 45-50 celsius. While phones with slower charging barely pass 31.

                                    It also includes settings for max charge of 80/90/100 % so the combination could get what you want.
                                    Sony also include a battery care mode that slow charges at night and then does the last few percentage points just before a set time.

                                      or they will remove the charger in the next phone
