After the announcement of the new iPhone 7, I complained about the lack of QuickCharge technology in them, but received some interesting feedback from our readers, and we'll talk about them.
In response to my complaints, several of our regular readers noted that they are not particularly happy with the availability of QuickCharge, as many of them had a 10% decrease in battery capacity over the year! In fact, the smartphone started to run out faster, as a result, you got half an hour (or more) less work with the screen on. Unfortunately, here it is difficult for me to rely on my own experience, since at work I regularly change smartphones, and in a couple of weeks no problems with the charge usually happen. In principle, even from the point of view of physics, this behavior of batteries looks logical, but there are several options for interacting with it.
On the one hand, you can charge your devices from regular charging, since some manufacturers like to save money on a power supply unit with QuickCharge support included. On the other hand, you don't have to worry and use your smartphone as it is, and after a year and a half or two, just replace the battery, but this option works only in the case of removable batteries, and, as we know, there are less and less of them. As a compromise at home, you can charge your smartphone with regular charging, and instead of an external battery, take a power supply with QuickCharge, because recharging quickly on the road can be very important.
By the way, about external batteries. A large number of models with QuickCharge support are already starting to appear. I've already seen such batteries from Samsung, Asus and Meizu. Interestingly, there are three charging modes in Asus ZenPower Pro, and each of them has its own battery capacity. As a result, one quick charge can cost you the entire 10,000 mAh battery.
As a result, it turns out that QuickCharge has many drawbacks and is not so good in fact. However, it all comes down to one simple question: are you willing to sacrifice the rate of battery wear for the sake of charging it? And everyone answers this question differently.
