    Hilarious to see a bunch of people hating on fast charging coz they are stuck on phones with ultra slow charging

      I am talking about the thing you say I assume you refer to MrWTB said.
      Phones can never be unlocked to their full strength because they can't handle the extreme heat generated, nor the battery can supply enough kuice to power up that performance.
      That is why a fully dedicated gaming phone like Black Shark and ROG can perform quitre better even with similar or even less specs than normal phones. They have the fans and cooling system to boost it up.

Also, just because you life is slow, it doesn't mean that other people are like you. Different people have different life styles. Many people are very busy.

            Don't understand this obsession with chsrging speeds, people acting like they're so busy or something.

                apertotes, 03 Apr 2022So, what do people do with their phones during the night? J... morelol, there's no need to keep your phone hooked up to a charger for that much time (overnight is literally one third of the lifespan of the phone). Why would you keep it plugged in for so long? Do you really need 8 hours of charging time every day? Most of the day your phone is in your pocket with you, or on a table. It's not plugged in, because it doesn't need to be. Why should 8 hours at night be any different?

What's the point of an expensive watch that can go up to 100m sea depth when you'll never dive there? What's the point of a holiday house if you gonna use it 10% of the year? The point is, it's only one life, you'll never get another chance. And the biggest point is, you just get the point! 🤣

                        BlivAK, 04 Apr 2022Not ideal if there's an emergency. Right. Better to just keep the phone on. Idle overnight should not be draining much battery. Maybe 5%..

                          Since time is money.
                          Faster is beter.
                          800 charging cycles and 20% degradation from 5000 mAh is still nce 4200 mAh which is fine.
                          And if 800 cycles means 800 charges from zero to full its like 3 years of use at which time battery degrades to 4200 mAh from 5000 thius 20% and in 3 years most people buy new device anyway so its really doesnt matter.
                          Only thing which really matters is the fact the faster the charging more time spent for other activities.

Someone said gaming phones are so powerful that no game can fully utilize it. Yet the iPad Pro M1 can't lock onto 120fps especially after it throttles and it has to run at lowered settings to hit 120fps for longer periods. The lock on 60fps is more stable but its still dropping frames.

                                I completely never charging overnight again... Id rather turn off and turn on my phone with scheduler on my sleep schedule so my remaining battery intact then I just need to charge about 30-50 minutes in the morning

                                the downside is the charger quite pricey and you absolutely doesnt want to use bad charger for this case
