Also, have you not seen all those Youtube/TikTok videos of cars than do 200+mph catching fire? It helps more often than you think. A German car caught fire the other day because it was simply doing doughnuts. Thats like not even 30mph lol.

            "And here's another fact of life - no matter how slowly you charge your battery, it will have deteriorated after 800 cycles. Heat is the number one culprit of battery deterioration so whether you keep your phone tethered to a 5W charger for 5 hours or 200W charger for 10 minutes, it's the amount of heat that your battery deals with that will diminish its charge the fastest. And all batteries lose capacity after years of use, so given the insane speeds the numbers cited by Xiaomi actually sound very reasonable"

              Denzel12, 04 Jul 2021I wonder if Xiaomi charger also comes with ads? 🤔😏Man swapped my Moto X4 which i had since 15.10.2017 until 1.7.2021 for Xiaomi Mi 11 lite 5G and disabled every single advertising in cell phone in setting and when i first time run my phone and set my email and other things. Since then no adds. So your problems lies in lack of knowledge how to disable them.

                More useless tech to ruin your battery 4 times as fast. They are doing this on purpose knowing full well most don't have the means or knowledge to go to a repair center to change batteries when it dies. That means new phone purchases and mo e-waste.

                Governments need to step it up and make it a criminal offense if a company doesn't make it user replaceable for batteries.

                Reapir center which doesnt or unable to fix your phone is bad repair center. Its equivalent of a food shop which sells only food day before it get rotten or bad for use.
                Just a not good. And thats really means more E-Waste and more less educated people and another shop which is useless because it cant help your phone.

                Replacable batteries on own are long time gone because they went afloat like a baloon. For this case is good we cant swaw batteries on our own. It also makes more safe phones and households also phones can keep IP ratings which werent much possible for non rugged phones.

                                  NomiHK786, 04 Jul 2021Exactly! Maybe not 5w but something around 20w is sufficien... moreIt will feel sufficient coz you haven't experienced anything faster.
                                  Once you get used to charging 70-80% of your phone in 15 minutes, you'll never go back to slow charging again.

                                  There are so many times I've had to conserve my phone usage, while being outdoors, because I forgot to plug the charger into my phone earlier.
                                  After experiencing 67W super fast charging. Even 10 minutes of charge is giving me enough juice to last the whole evening.

                                  It's sad that you are willing to accept 18W charging on a phone that must have cost you more than 1000 Euros. There are budget phones which come with 65W fast charging. Technology has to be better on a flagship phone.
                                  I am not letting go of premium 65W and above fast charging because some people are okay with mediocre 18W charging. People like you can use your old 18W charger and continue to be afraid of something that won't happen.

                                      they should make a charging box with built-in twin cooler or fan, for safety purpose i mean
