not to mention Chinese OEMs which can recharge more than twice as fast
Which absolutely fries your battery. That’s one of the reasons Chinese phones would typically have horrible battery life, were it not for their stupid and aggressive “battery savers” and process killers that prevent basically anything from running in the background, which makes some tasks completely unfeasible/impossible on these devices. You want to receive push notifications outside of Google Play/FCM? Too bad, your app is gonna get killed after like 2 minutes of background usage. You want to sync your files/photos/contacts/calender/anything with your self-hosted server? Too bad, you can’t do that, because some Chinese manufacturer wants to market their phone with some crazy 120W charging and doesn’t give a fuck about the consequences. There’s a reason why Apple has stuck to 5W charging for so many years. And it’s not because they couldn’t figure out how to make it faster…
