I worked in the tech field for longer than I care to say. This gentlemen is giving you some pretty good advice.
In simpler terms... if you buy a new phone/tablet every 1-3 yrs. you should charge it at any speed you see fit but if you keep your device for 4-5+ yrs. you should never fast or wireless charge your device at all.
Can you use phone coolers while charging? Would it help at all?
My One Plus 10 pro wireless charger has a built in fan at the base of the charger which blows air behind the phone to help remove heat that builds up from the wireless fast charger. Once the phone is charged the charger stops charging. I also never charge my phone with a case on, be it wired or wireless charging. My one plus 10 pro is one year and three months old, and the 5000 dual cell mha battery is as good as new.

I think Samsung's fast charging tech is well "fast" as well as stays the coolest while charging. And sony's new charging mode is quite amazing I wanna see it on every android next year.
Never tried any of Samsung's recent flagships (switched to OnePlus a little while back) but all my Samsung phones had issues with battery degradation. The battery would lose capacity substantially within a year of usage. Never had such issue with any of my OnePlus devices even with the dash and warp charging.

How to waste precious materials
Very useful video thanks. As you mention there is a lot of concern and theories on fast charging vs battery life. I'd trust your informed view over the hundreds of various forum posts claiming all manner of 'facts'...
The problem is the higher temperature
youre right dast charging increases heat production through higher currents BUT theres one more effect which occurs even if this heating is neglected. the so called lithium plating alway occurs with high charging rates. that problem is much harder to solve and part of current research :D
OPPO stated that its 45-watt charging degrades the battery 3x quicker than 15-watt charging. However, if you use fast-charging as you are supposed to, that is, when you need a top-up fast, then there should be less impact. This means you are at say 20% and you fast-charge to 70%. Most of the damage to the battery cycle count is charging from 80-100% and that is why Apple and Sony have software to moderate the charge (trickle), though better to stop at 80% if you can. Slow-charge, when you are not in a hurry, is a good rule. I think Samsung only charges to 90% (reservoir) when it says it is full as all the devices I tested I could never get 100% capacity whereas other OEMs I did (Sony and Pixel), so that is a great way to force consumers to have better battery management.
Many teens keep their phone under 2-years so are not bothered about degradation and they pass on that problem to the next user. It is similar to your car, if you look after it, you will get the best from it.
I have a Realme X2 pro since 6 months charging at 50w. Full charge in 30 mns. Basically I plug it 10 mns twice a day and I'm good to go. The battery do not heat this way and it is a much better charging habit than charging all night up to 100%.
Best battery charging range is indeed 20%-80% for longevity and fast charging allow you to do so.
Whatever charging speed, you are responsible to use it accordingly for your battery best longevity.
How is the battery life ? Screen on time ?
@@sanskargatla3263 7h screen on time average on a 24h period for my usage. No gaming.
Wow You Can Read The Brochure
I see many manufacturers/ apps recommend this range. Maybe u need to bring along charger.
Is it still good up to 90%?. I want to compare identical devices with 20% to 80% vs. 20% to 100% after 1year.
I also have been using the realme x2 pro from 3 months and i also prefer it keeping it like this
Great video. You should more video's like this. Review more digital products and do in-depth video's like this

@@shreyasshetty1650 charge with the 33 watt one, the 18w charger seems inadequate for a massive 5000 mah battery. Meanwhile, there is no conclusive evidence to state that using high power chargers damages a battery but by going by the basic laws of thermodynamics, a greater battery damage seems inevitable.
The other thing I see on tech channels is people advising against the constant use of wireless charger , but I really like the wireless charger is just so easy to just place my iPhone over it , so I wonder if that theory that is actually bad for the battery health true. As for the heating if that’s the issue, my phone doesn’t really heat up when charging wirelessly . Some say charging wirelessly with a case is also bad but I hope is not true , cuz my case is very protective but not easy to remove and put on again constantly .
Hey, please tell can i use a mi 30w charger to charge the bulltes wireless z which support 30t charging? Or does the charging bricks have something in diff that would change that?
I never use super fast charger i only use just the "fast charger". After 2 yrs of using my phone the battery life is still at 98%. I only charge until 85% and i also charge as can. That's the reason my battery is still strong.

Is a standard charger(5v) good for a quick charging phone for a better battery life?
I have seen comments where references were made to battery health, and assigning a percentage as compared to when the battery was new. How is it possible to test a phone's battery in this way?
I think dual batteries reduce the internatal resistance rather than not charging at the same rate?
Now in summer I charge my phone and always put it on top of the radiator(it's off and not on the sun). Why?? because metal tend to be cooler indoor hence best heating charging problem.
OPPO VOOC and OnePlus Dash/Warp do not release heat at all and charges fast at the same time. Even the latest AirVooc and Warp wireless charging at 30&40W do not have much heat at all. In this case, they should not have many detrimental effects.
Yes, it's why I prefer them. The charge speed doesn't lower while using the phone either, since there is no heat buildup
Is that okay if im using LDNIO brand for Wireless Charger ?? Is this brand is approved by MFI certificates and is this brand is safely for using to iPhone ?
does anyone know which video did he talk about the differences between flagships and budget phones? and he listed that one of them is that flagships' screens are flushed with the body of the phone whereas budget phones' screen bump out of the body
Actually super fast charge like 120watt, 90watt, 65watt, etc
Is safe for battery depends on smartphone implementation if smartphone has a good implementation the super fast charge is safe for your battery but if the smartphone has a bad implementation it will really bad for your battery and something bad will happen
Besides the heat factor when charging can also cause the battery to be damaged

Genius comment
Schrodinger's battery
Big battery and overnight slow charge is a win-win. If battery is good enough to last a day of full usage then rhere is no need for fast charging.
My trick to keeping the phone cool while charging
Fill a balloon or rubber glove with water and place your phone screen down on the balloon while charging
My old phone used to heat up to 44°c and automatically reduce charging speed while charging but with this trick it never reach above 35°c and it charge faster
Im using apple fast charging and my xs get warm. Sometimes get hot. And battery health going down from 90% to 82%. Then im using 5w charger for couple months and my battery health still 82%
I'm tryna know if fast charging overnight is bad for the battery or if I should just use normal charging...

Hey mate, what is the monitoring app you're using in the video?
I think some companies made the fast charging perfectly well while some don't.....My honor 30 of 40W don't get warm at all when charging which mean my battery will last long without any issue....But My Redmi note 8 pro always warm for just 18W charging...That's why most big companies don't go overboard on latest Tech
That's not becuse of redmi bro it's because of meditaek
I think we need to find a balance on fast charging if it destroys the battery too fast. The feature is convenient. About 1 hour of charging to full is good enough for me.
soon you will change battery 😂
@@AlexMkd1984 you are right.
Yes it does. Fast charging kills battery gradually. Max 12w should be used for optimized charging.

@@shreyasshetty1650 i think both the 18watt & 33 watt charging speed is fine
In my personal experience, I say not the quick/fast charging but the heat that comes with the quick/fast charging is what really degrades the battery. I have an iphone 7plus that i used for almost 4 years with the adapter(5Watt) and cable that comes with it. And after 4 years, the battery percentage on my 7plus has down to 86%. Now, i have an iphone 11pro, which is obviously a replacement for my 7plus that I’ve been using for a year now with the adapter(18Watt) and cable the comes with it. And i just noticed that in just a year, the battery of my 11pro has degraded to 84% compared to my 7plus that took 4 years to degrade to 86%. And to be honest, i was actually harsher to my 7plus cause i remember watching movies and gaming with it while it was charging. I never did that to my 11pro.
What kind of testing are you doing to see the battery health?
Agree, the heat causes the battery to degrade, and also you are not the only one saying that, other iPhone owners using 18-20 watt chargers also noticed that it produces more heat and the battery degrades faster than charging with a simple 5W charger, it's also a business plan behind, if your battery degrades what would you do ? replace your battery or the phone, so here comes the money for replacement again, smart enough.

No it won’t. Lithium ion batteries get destroyed in heat or fully charging and discharging it.

Thats one of the reasons why apple uses slow chargers, and even their "fast charger" is only 18W, so that the battery does not deteriorste as bad AND it saves em cash, win win I guess
@@CarlosLopez-ph9bj should i use 20w for 12 pro max?
So there is no problem when I’m charging my 11 with a 20w overnight?
Unless there's some technical flaw with your battery or charger electronics, however, using a fast charger won't do your phone's battery any long-term damage. ... That's because during the first phase of charging, batteries can absorb a charge quickly without major negative effects on their long-term health.
I think what one plus does is incredible .... using one plus 5 since 3 years and battery is still pretty good

Faster charging kills battery slowly. So you will need to buy another phone later. They know exactly what are they doing.
Excellent information thanks. I've read that to extend your batteries life to not let it fall beneath 40 percent and only charge it to 80 percent. However, that is just so inconvenient it's not true. I always fill my battery up and if I can put it on the charger if it falls to 40 percent or lower. I do hope that with really fast charging that the battery isn't degraded by more than 10 percent over 2 years.
Just dont charge it completely and dont let it die .Following the 80-40 rule is ridiculous,for example if u charge it until 90% and dont let it drop below 20% ur fine.
I’m going with 80-20
The best solution is to charge it between 55% and 60% :)))) Thats for sure! Just charge it every 1 hour and your battery will last for 20 years :)
I don’t use my apple 20w charger either. I have an old 5W Xiaomi Mi charger which i use till today on my iphone 11. Battery health at 99% currently.
Odds are your phone will be outdated lost broken etc before battery degrate to noticeable amount. My mom keeps her phone on charger half the day for 0 reason lol. Phone is over 3 years old battery health solid
Why does this guy looks like a Tom Holland wearing a cap and explaining fast charging to us😂. Good video though 👍
Just make a 5000mAh a standard, give me wireless charging, put a USB Type-C port on the charging wart, and drop the resolution down to 1080p. (Just give me a really good 1080p screen. Like OLED, HDR, thin bezels, and no notch/punch hole) 2k is too much, because most content isn't even in 2k.

Does realme 7 pro support 10w charger?
Well, it forces to pull energy.
So, that can be true
TECHZG, I thought your cell phone has to have "fast charging software" to prevent damaging the cell phone battery, is this true or not? because I don't think my cell phone supports fast charging or has fast charging software to be able to handle 65watt or 120 watt chargers because this might damage my cell phone battery, what do you think?
It has to have fast charging hardware. Your phone's charging voltage defines how fast it goes. If your phone's charging voltage is up to 15w it can't go above that no matter if you use a 65watt charger or any software that is present on it. You can search your phone's charging voltage online by writing model name.
@@suneet6834 Are you sure its called "charging Voltage" or charging wattage? because 15watts its watts not voltage
So basically i can charge my phone at 5000 Watts in liquid Nitrogen
Yesn't
If I like using fast charging, how can I use it without comprising battery capacity? Should I charge when it's 40%?
25-75% is best for the battery
Yes alittle my mii9t hold all day with seving mode. After 2,5h is at 79%
but there is side effect , idk how but my battery charge counter aka battery full capacity degraded frm 3000 into 2300 then bc i cant do normal calibrate since my device is not rooted i do the manual ways by unplug the battery conector to reset it , and i got back my full battery capacitu wht it use to be and test it and got alot more SOT, i presume it bc my 27w charger tht do alot abt this matter , my 18w also do less harm but it still does.
Everything always has the opposite effect. So yes fast charging does destroy battery
It's like saying if you use your phone heavily and it warms up you get worse battery life too... I'm a heavy phone user so my phone will be warm, everyday most of the time. No matter what and I'm gonna be buying a new one anyway in 2 or 3 years. So no big deal

@@stefan-D I have no problem with slow charging for urban areas where electricity is 24*7, and the battery lasts easily for a day, one can easily plug in the charger during night. But in india, most Asia and Africa, many of the days especially in winter, some places revive only 2 hour electricity a day, in the scenarios like this fast charging is warranted. And also for hard core gamers, fast charging is a must feature, I have experience with that, my phone usually lasts a day easily but when I m gaming , it gives a mere 4-6 hours of screen on time. Then u have to wait another 3 hours for full charge, that sucks. Having a fast charger like 50 watt will charge ur mobile to 75% in 25 minutes, u can again enjoy ur gaming.
