How quick charging affects battery capacity? Overnight charging is going out of fashion 

Desired charge rate and how quick charging affects battery capacity. Slow overnight charging has clearly fallen out of favour, while fast charging has clearly established as the favoured way.

Even though it had been phased out a few years before, it was remained the preferred method for a quarter of voters. That percentage has now dropped from 25% to 15%. Slow charging has the advantage of always being an option; simply use one of the low-power chargers you have in your drawer. We wish Android provided better charge speed controls, but even without them, it's simple to have a 5W/10W charger on your nightstand.

The majority of voters will choose a phone with a power output of 25 to 33 watts. These charge quickly and have no drawbacks. They also don't require an upcharge, unlike phones with cutting-edge charging technologies.

Phones that offer 100+ Watt charge were the second most popular category, narrowly beating out phones that support 50-67W charging, which came in third. Charging is a pain, and we understand why people want to get it over with as soon as possible.

Isn't it, however, damaging to the battery? Manufacturers claim that after several hundred cycles, it will keep 80% of its original capacity - some promise to match the industry norm of 800 cycles, while others promise to exceed it twice and go as high as 1,600 cycles. Keep in mind that 800 cycles equates to more than two years of daily charging from 0 to 100%.

It's also worth mentioning that many of the phones with super-quick charging are marketed as gaming phones. A mobile GPU that is two years old will have much fewer capabilities than newer variants. So, even if the battery is as new as the day it was delivered, the phone will no longer be a good gaming phone.

One concern that should not be disregarded is the creation of e-waste. A phone with a dead battery may not be worth the cost of repair these days, assuming you can find someone to fix it. When batteries were user-accessible, a dead battery could be fixed in 60 seconds with no equipment.

The EU has been working on a solution to reintroduce it. All consumer electronics will be required by law to include user changeable batteries that can be done using "simple and readily available tools." The EU is also considering establishing standards for how long phones should be supported, such as requiring 7 years of updates and replacement parts availability. When those two factors are coupled, battery longevity can become a thing of the past. Of course, we'll keep a watch on how manufacturers respond.
