Finally, though who believes in 1.000.000.000 lux pocket flash, but some numbers are not always right.
Like 30.000mAh is actually 20.000mAh etc.
There are also some word plays like "for device" instead of "device", pictures of famous brand or device but naming and price of different one or accessory.
It's a jungle.

CE marked software, the same rules that already exist for your toaster, it should not be able to cause your cat to burn up due to an electrical fault (short circuit), if you connect something to the internet, you should be sure that you are getting updates and your information does not fall into the wrong hands no misleading information it should do exactly as the manufacturer has promised, this is the new eu rules

Slow charging kills battery faster because its remains longer on charger and thus under higher temperature.
What do you think or how do you think a charger going to mkill battery if it can top up whole battery within 5 or 10 minutes???
The battery wont even heat up.
But keeping whole phone on a charger for overnight for 8-10 hours will make your battery die within a year.
And then there are tons of people which traveling a lot and a 200+W charger makes their life easier than carrying a powerbank in every pocket.

oofio2461, 15 May 2023The EU should require 10 YEARS of software updates on phone... moreMan you funny.
You cant want from something low end as Samsung Galaxy A14 to last more than a 2 maybe 3 years in a top rated condition if the phone barelly can survive as long as its warranty.
If you really want 10 years of updates companies should also give a 10 years of warranty for whole device too.
Othervise is a scam.
You can have even a 1000 updates for next 1000 years but they will go in wain if your device will die week after your warranty wears off.

We need user replaceable batteries. Replacing the battery in any phone should be as easy as putting a suction cup on the back glass, pulling up (like iMac unibody https://guide-images.cdn.ifixit.com/igi/dHtxlrU6BrCWUSsm.medium) and then removing the battery without any screws or glue (like Galaxy S5 https://guide-images.cdn.ifixit.com/igi/dk6dXbpPRGWWgFDv.medium). Said phone does feature IP67 water resistance while having a user-replaceable battery.
