    That bar is still way slow. My phone can charge at 100watts, 0 to 100% in less than 30 minutes. Most American brands are way behind.

        I mean it really doesn’t get as hot as I’d had thought it would which is apparently the big longevity killer. And the way they help manage these huge wattages is splitting the battery into multiple cells.

        Chinese brands have had super fast charging for more than 5 years now and I don’t think I’ve heard too much in the way of massively increased battery degradation.
