having used some chinese brands in the past couple of years, i would admit i have been used to (spoilt?) of having my phone reach 80% charge in matter of 15-20 mins. I could no longer wait for my samsungs and iphones to charge in hours! This is one of the reason my true daily driver remains a chinese brand, all due to the fast charging speeds (among other things, really, like vanilla OS offering). I still have a galaxy S20 sitting there all pretty as a spare phone and I just wish Samsung would hurry up and catch up with the market already. Yea you could have better cameras and all, but I have a dSLR for my holiday photos, and my daily driver (chinese) phone does an excellent job for everything else that isn't a vacation (photo quality for instagram is overkill with basically ANY new phones today anyway).

Idk why Samsung is finding fast charging so difficult despite it becoming very common nowadays. Oh well, still not enough to stop me from getting the S22😂

Have you made sure to enable fast charging in phone settings before running these tests?

Anonymous, 20 Feb 2022What do you expect when this phone is made out of recycled ... moreThat's literally one of my favorite fun facts about the new S22 series. Makes sense to recycle plastic from the ocean I'm sure other companies are going to start doing it now as well.

cozxta, 21 Feb 2022Except Chinese smartphones do actually charge at high watta... moreVivo : 120W advertised, 109W peak
Xiaomi : 120W advertised, 80W peak
There is no 120 , not for single milisecond.
Pixel 6 got slammed for same reason. Chinese get free pass, who knows why.
Despite both lying.

All the brands that advertise super high speed charging are usually ones that produce rubbish that will be recycled after 6 months anyway (Xiaomi , OPPO ect ). Serious companies that make devices that last for years do not need gimmicks to sell devices.

Anonymous, 21 Feb 2022No, most people know that Apple phones aren't the most... moreYes they are. They don't seem to understand that long term support and outstanding timely software releases also cost money and even if they don't, it's much easier to justify a purchase of 800€ phone if I know it'll be supported amazingly for around 7 years or some Chinese brand that aren't even that cheap anymore with horrendous software support. You know, it's why iPhone 6s from 2015 still got major OS update and will continue to receive security updates for several more years. Apple also doesn't just throw around biggest numbers just to impress you gullible people who trip on big numbers and not actual results...
It's same reason why I also justify purchase of Galaxy S models easier than any other phone, because of outstanding software support. Except S21 with plastic back. That one was a monumental design flop and an obvious cheapening to increase margins and I couldn't shut up about it.
