You're subjecting your battery to more wear by charging it to 100%. It's basic science. Go read up on this before you come here to comment.

Azo, 13 Jul 2021And you know the reason why Samsung cut their 45w charging ... moreYou're extremely misinformed about battery technology. No one can help you with that.
Also, I have the S21 Ultra since April & the max SOT I've ever got on it is around 7 hours on a full charge. And this is on WQHD+ and adaptive refresh rate. Several people I know have the S21 Ultra & all of them get anything between 5-6 hours of SOT on a full charge. Your claim of 12 hours is hilarious.

It's fine if your in a hurry to go out and want to charge up quickly, but most people charge their phones overnight so fast charging not needed. It's getting stupid now this race to have fastest charging

Tech.Hunter, 29 Jun 2021Got this last March. I normally plug it in to charge when t... moreIs there any specific reason you switch off your phone to charge it? Also, why are you switching off fast & super fast charging?
It's been proven that charging the phone to less than 75% consumes less battery cycles, thereby contributing to lesser wear. Charging your phone to 100% consumes 1 cycle, while charging to 70% consumes 0.1 cycles.
If you aren't comfortable to letting the battery drain to 5%, charge it when it's around 10-20%, but never let the charge exceed 80%. Also, ensure you don't use the phone a lot while it's charging or else the charging time will get prolonged.

Azo, 28 Jun 2021No that's the wrong theory my friend, go do some resea... moreYour battery has a certain number of cycles. If you charge a phone from 5-100%, it takes around 1 cycle. If you charge from 5-80%, you would only be using around 0.25 cycles.
So you could charge your phone any number of times a day as long as you don't charge it beyond 80%. This ensures your battery doesn't degrade as fast.
Also, your claim of 12 hours SOT on a single charge is crap.

Are you guys seriously creating this smartphones?! Worth more than a thousand dollars and the charging speed is measly 25w? Are you serious?
I can just buy Redmi Note 10 or the pro variation and I can have 33w for only just less than 200$.
Well, I really need to go to China's manufacturers to get the bang for the buck as of today. I don't really get why its humongously pricey. 😁😂

I have this one from Amazon Germany, but I'm sure there's something similar in your country. Works perfect, good sound quality, microphone working, volume and pause/play button working, even Google Assistant works with it: https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B08Q6X9SQ9/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

After a month of using, quite satisfied with my exynos version. Not the great but at lease didn't give me major issue. Play ML no issue just warm when long hours playing. Charging not the fastest, network/WiFi no issue. Able to get 6h plus SOT.. my country purchase 256GB free upgrade to 512 free gift with casing + s pen and ear buds Pro.. to me not a bad deal...
