Samsung is under pressure, though, both from governments (EU Cyber Resilience Act will have consequences for unmaintained devices) and from the markets, bringing economic pressure from consumers who no longer accept their two years of updates when competitors offer a better deal.
I don’t buy the “faster charging” scam, that’s just burning through your battery so you’ll need to buy a new phone sooner. I can wait 30 minutes per day to get my phone charged up, I don’t need 200W to hit my phone battery. If anything, the fast charging is a tacit admission of phones needing to be charged often, covering up their terrible power consumption or small batteries.
Atleast in charging standards that Oneplus and that some manufacturers use called SuperVooc, two battery cells are charged simultaneously. Whilst fast charging is inherently bad for the battery, it’s not that bad as it’s made out to be.
