Charging

[johnz237]

This is an interesting thing I've discovered: I have a 45W Samsung 2.0 (third-party, so take with a grain of salt) plug and the charger that came with my phone. I have another that came with my galaxy book 4 edge and a third-party one. Interestingly, I got different, repeating results for each cable. All show the exact same charge time and Fast Charge 2.0—images provided.

Perfectly happy with the amazing charge time, so this isn't the topic. I'm more intrigued by the results showing the same charge speed regardless of the wattage.

Done some more research and I have an update. Apparently, the type of cable decides what voltage and amperage the device uses. If you have a 5a capable cable, the device uses 9v 4a to charge. If you use a normal smaller cable, the device swaps to 15v and a lower amperage. I'm unable to replicate this on my device but that's what I've seen online

You can see battery health, it's just not as precise as what the S25 shows with % now. As new the battery on older devices show as battery status good. Over time this status will drop to normal, then bad.

I use my device as normal i dont play games or do anything heavy on it. I just go on YouTube watch movies WhatsApp Internet and that's pretty much it... and basic calls and text as usual

Do you pay monthly on contract or did you buy it full cash?
