It was once the case that the fast cost of a Android Badge Phone It might have a notable lengthy -term impact battery well being. Personally I might attest to this with my outdated Huawei Mate 20 Professional, since a number of years of 40W load resulted in a big fall within the battery life.
One approach to measure the impact of quick charging on a smartphone is to confirm the utmost and common temperatures of the system whereas plugging. Collega Rob Triggs did precisely this and found that OnePlus 13, Oppo Discover X8 Professional and Samsung Galaxy S25 Extremely Extremely Everybody boasted with chilly temperatures whereas they have been loaded. We additionally publish a survey asking if you’re nonetheless apprehensive concerning the lengthy -term impact of rapidly loading the battery of a telephone.
Are you continue to involved concerning the results of quick charging with lengthy -term battery well being?
Our survey amassed greater than 4,300 votes, and 42.5% of respondents stated they have been involved concerning the lengthy -term results of quick charging, however nonetheless used the attribute. In the meantime, ~ 23.5% of the readers surveyed stated they’ve by no means apprehensive concerning the degradation of the battery when utilizing a quick cost. Curiously, ~ 9.6% of the readers surveyed stated they aren’t apprehensive concerning the results of quick charging on battery well being, however was once.
Reader Christopher Marts, who was nonetheless completely happy along with his OnePlus 12 even if he ceaselessly charged him, raised an attention-grabbing level:
I think about that battery degradation can be exponential, so it additionally helps to have bigger batteries similar to 5400 mAh in OP12 or 6000 in OP13. That’s extra to work normally, so much less to degrade as quick as telephones with 4700 mAh (sic).
That could be a nice statement since a small battery that suffers from lengthy -term degradation turns into even smaller, which makes degradation really feel extra intense. In truth, I bear in mind the Galaxy S6 of a former colleague who had an necessary degradation that turned out that the telephone required two positions per day.
So, we will see why some customers nonetheless use a fast cost on telephones with big batteries regardless of attainable reserves. In any case, even when there’s a important degradation within the lengthy -term battery, it shouldn’t be an necessary impediment to each day use.

On the different finish of the spectrum, ~ 24.4% of respondents stated they don’t use quick cost resulting from battery well being issues. That is comprehensible, particularly if you wish to use the telephone so long as attainable, or when you’ve got a model of a model that’s not a category chief when it comes to battery well being.
Rob found that the Pixel 9 Professional Sequence (and Honor Magic 7 Professional) provided very excessive most temperatures whereas loading, and the proprietor of Pixel Jrharbort intervened:
I cost my pixel 9 professional utilizing a extra primary 15W (5V/3A) charger versus a 25W or extra PPS charger. The utmost temperature distinction could be very outstanding, with my 15W charger that ends in a lot colder temperatures. And curiously, the load occasions between the 2 are virtually the identical. The utmost cost velocity of 25W claimed appears to be a trick and doesn’t speed up the load in any respect.
In different phrases, plainly his opinion on the matter is also coloured by the model he’s utilizing. Google states that its latest pixels telephones ought to final 1,000 load cycles earlier than falling to an efficient capability of 80%. In the meantime, OnePlus and Oppo say that their telephones take 1,600 cycles (roughly 4 years) to succeed in this identical threshold. So we will see why you do not fear an excessive amount of when you’ve got a OnePlus 13 both OPPO SOURCE X8 PRO.
