I don't know if you have found it,This year, the Android camp is obviously not as hard as before in fast charging,If you follow the momentum of previous years,No matter how this year, we will start to popularize 150W fast charging,Or 300W fast charging to mass production,But the result is that among the many models currently launched,The highest is 120W fast charging,What is the reason behind this change?
Battery life is the core, and fast charging is also for the battery life experience
The reason is actually very simple, that is, consumers still prefer large batteries, in fact, mobile phones in recent years have provided two options: large battery + ordinary fast charging, as well as conventional batteries + super fast charging, such as 5000mAh battery + 150W fast charging, 4600mAh battery + 240W fast charging, among these two options, 5000mAh batteries are more popular.
The core goal of the introduction of fast charging is also to improve the battery life experience, because with the blessing of the fast charging function, the replenishment of power can be quickly completed, "charging for 5 minutes, talking for two hours" is a vivid portrayal.
The fast-charging arms race eventually became a waste of money
However, with the intensification of involution, mobile phone manufacturers seem to be a little too strong in fast charging, which has exceeded the actual needs of users, and fast charging is not perfect, first of all, higher power fast charging is often matched with smaller batteries, this operation can be said to be fast charging for the sake of fast charging, a bit of a feeling of abandoning the basics.
Second, high-power fast charging tends to generate higher heat, which can negatively impact battery life. Finally, the super fast charging protocols of various companies are often incompatible, and when you change to other brands of charging heads, the actual charging power will often plummet, and it is possible to drop to 20W or even lower.
100-watt fast charging is enough
Obviously, fast charging is obviously helpful for the user experience, but it is too much, the combination of battery and fast charging should be more pragmatic, and consumers have also voted with their own actions, and mobile phone manufacturers are also aware of this problem, so the arms race of fast charging has stopped, so what kind of combination is more reasonable?
As far as the current situation is concerned, the combination of 5500mAh battery + 100W fast charging and 6000mAh battery + 80W fast charging has a higher voice, from the perspective of related combinations, large batteries are undoubtedly king, as for fast charging in terms of actual experience, 100 watts or so are fast enough to meet the needs of most users.
brief summary
The perception improvement brought by fast charging cannot be denied, but when it exceeds a certain threshold, it is completely a show off to continue to pull up the fast charging power, which is more necessary for the user's perception improvement, and more importantly, the battery capacity will be sacrificed, which is the cart before the horse, when the parameter advantage cannot bring the experience advantage, there is really no need to roll down the fast charge.
In fact, in the mobile phone industry, in addition to the ineffective involution of fast charging, is there a similar situation in other places?For example, the local peak brightness, high-frequency PWM dimming frequency, is there also too much pursuit of parameter advantages? And these parameters do not represent the actual experience, so the crazy volume of these parameters is mainly for marketing.
