That is one of the key point of making a phone that can charge fast. As well as using external BMS in the charger that also creates heat, rather than using the phones built in BMS, which was more common before when slow charging.

If you want to worry about the battery you should be looking at the battery temperature and for how long it is warm. Also using casings and/or screen protectors that trap the heat is not good. Worst offenders are the wallet type cases, that insulates the phone all round. The bare minimum one should do if using such a case is to fold it open during charging, so that the heat doesn't get insulated.

    It means the design of the phone is good as it transfers the heat from the battery and out.

    A bad design is if the outside of the phone does not get hot, because the heat is trapped inside causing the battery to get warm.

      [deleted post]I'm not a troll. You are. I see you make comments and upvote those that have any reason to hate Samsung. Your Vivo X90 Pro+ isn't going to cut it with its smaller battery, not with its camera, not without desktop mode, not without eSIM, not without WiFi 6E, not without more software support, and definitely not without S Pen.

          Anonymous, 14 Feb 2023That's not how you use "nor".The usage is correct. Additionally, you didn't point out that there is no capital C in the name for that temperature scale. Were you away from school that day when they were teaching English?

            Anonymous, 13 Feb 2023To all people who are STILL complaining about headphone jac... moreI'd say it depends on the feature that gets left out. A swapable batterie is something that has influence on several things e.g. it usually made a phone much easier to repair beside the possibility to swap batteries in seconds or make 100 % sure that the phone is off.

            An expendable memory is the much cheaper way to get memory space. For me, who does not use any cloud backup of one of the data business companies like Google, MS, Apple,... its a must. I have my complete phone backup on the card. If you shoot a lot of 4K stuff like me its also great to have a 1 TB card.

            The gr8 thing of wireless headphones is that they dont need a battery which needs to be replaced. Had my in ears in 2 times within the last 1,5 years for battery change. My next ones will have cabels. Since i have an experia 1 iv i have that choice.

            Having such features give you more freedom of choice. I dont like companies take that away from me.

              notafanboy, 14 Feb 2023Are you trolling bru? Fast charging doesn't necessaril... moreI want samsung to improve its charging speed but their fast charging is quite inefficient I'd say. The phone gets pretty hot to the touch and the phone slows down a bit as well. Other phones with faster charging have similar temps. I think samsung isn't improving their charging speeds because they suck at it lol

                    notafanboy, 14 Feb 2023Are you trolling bru? Fast charging doesn't necessaril... moreEven 120W charging gets your phone constantly too hot. "Avoid me" 12 Pro gets 51.6°C in the end, whereas S22 Ultra gets 41.3. When companies get their cooling act together, then it will be ancient. You got served, troll. Get it?

                      I hate how popular tech reviewers over-sell this thing when even in their video it doesn't take a genius to see how S23 is far from "different" than S22 except maybe for storage speeds, which in real world we are not exactly in need for, maybe those few individuals would benefit from it.

                              Redmi Note 12 Discovery Edition Charging test : https://youtu.be/YMNzS5KC6fo

                              At some point, it reaches 54.9 celsius (130.82 fahrenheit) .. And ppl deny this is awful for battery. He was not even touching the phone.

                              You will never see device charging at 20W at this temperature, nor fast charging at only 30 celsius.

                              Not even using phones powered by 888/8g1 for gaming, you can reach 55 celsius. Not even playing Genshi.

The main camera is very tempting, and I do care mainly about it. Another one is Oppo Find 6x PRO, but hard to tell when it will be available and I don't know if I want to wait that long.
