      I've copy/paste it for you.
      There is one important reason that Tecno included a charger (besides being giving you extra value for money). The company wants to make sure that buyers have a powerful, high-quality charger to enable Bypass Charge – this mode routes power around the battery and connects to the motherboard directly.

      This avoids generating the unwanted heat that comes from charging the battery and that in turn helps stretch the battery’s longevity. It’s a feature commonly found on gaming phones. This mode works with power banks too, of course, but you’ll need a pretty beefy one.

        DOA

          Anonymous, 05 Aug 2023Read it again. You're clearly wrong. It was not compar... moreIt didn't. He asked "Why do you need a beefy powerbank?", when nobody was talking about needing one for anything anyways. No mention of bypass charging, I understand what he meant, now anyways, but there were important words missing from his sentences.

          Thanks for your help tho, really, just don't push it with the "learn to read" stuff.

                Kindly also make sure to test the game truckers of Europe 3 to find out how well it can handle the graphics

                  DarlingYext, 04 Aug 2023Thanks, now I at least sort of understand his comment. Stil... moreYou should learn to read, he didn't compare the phone to a powerbank, but he said you need a beefy one if you want to connect the phone to a powerbank and using the bypass charge feature. There's nothing unclear in the sentence.

                    Hope GSM Arena does a review. I can't find any source of or reviewer with accurate (and non-payed) opinion.

                    Btw, the back of the phone is amazing! Metallic blue looks nice, but the contrast that the camera area does with the metallic silver is much more interesting.

                        PhoneFreak45, 04 Aug 2023The total power draw of the device can't be above 15 w... moreAverage power draw is lower than 15W, but instantaneous power draw could be higher than some external batteries support. We will double check the requirements for using bypass.

                          PhoneFreak45, 04 Aug 2023The total power draw of the device can't be above 15 w... moreWhat does this sentence even supposed to mean?

                          Did you mean the battery size and that it's "too big", or that the battery can only be charged with 15W?

                          Battery size is pretty standard at 5000mAh at this point and the phone can be charged with up to 68W, so I don't get your issue.

                            This company means business

                              The phone's back looks cool!

                                The total power draw of the device can't be above 15 watts. Why do you need a beefy powerbank?

                                  very interesting phone, Transsion is really improving greatly in 2023, and also Xiaomi etc You can see the data few months ago with 100 million users has increased.

                                  people who say the Chinese phone is decreased I don't know what it is.

                                    That dark blue is hot!
