          Provide us source of your claims. And please don't bother with what companies are advertising. Give us source from third-party testerd and then you got something. Until then, just your opinion. Nothing more Captain. I would also want to charge my phone battery in 15 minutes, but I just can't trust companies when they say "we tested and we got double the cycles with ultra-fast charging". Yeah right. Then tell me why has Oppo certified 20W, 33W, 50W and 65W SuperVOOC with RUV Rheinland for batery safety and that it doesn't have a meaningful impact (suggesting it has an impact, but very subtle) on the battery longevity, but every single ultra fast charging standard they've introduced it wasn't certified for impact on the battery longevity? Why would they keep paying but only for one certification instead of two?

          My source is Google. You can google and check everything I said. Go to Oppo's web site, check what they saying about certificates. Go to RUV Rheinland amd check for their certification list and for which brand and what are they certified for. It's all there black on white. Ufortunatelly I can't do the same with your claims.

          So, please.. source?
          Thanks in advance Captain.
          Have a nice and fulfilled day!

The only other device similar in size is the zenphone 9, which has a 400mah larger battery, but it also thicker than the s23
                            side note: i know that iphones in the size range also exist, but they also have much smaller batteries.

                              How are they going to standardize things like battery life?
                              I mean I welcome the intention, but often politicians don't have a clue in how to implement what they're proposing.

Btw, fir reference, even Samsung 45W charging never reach 45W in actual use and worse yet, the 45W is not even that much faster than 25W.

                                  In case you have no idea how adaptive fast charging works, the charging speed peaked at low battery % before gradually get lowered to trickle charging as it reach 100%. I hope you dont really think a 300W charging would be 300W from 0 to 100%.

                                      So, why calling 300? To fool people?
