The image is from GSM Arena. The phone Infinix has only 45W charge capability yet it does slightly faster than two other phones with much faster charging rates(and same battery capacity).
I know some phones throttle charging speeds but that is usually post 80% threshold. Why the discrepancy then?
I hadn't read the regs before. Interesting.
And while I very much agree with the intent (and will be glad to see it being much easier to replace a battery), I wonder what manufacturers will do to mitigate the impacts.
Like for the 7 years of parts thing, will they manufacture/sell a phone for just 3 months, to minimize that window?
I really like the OS support for 5 years. Again though, will they do things like charge for that support, tie the update package to a specific device, etc? (Guess we'll see).
I'm not saying this isn't a great improvement over the non-existent rules - it truly is! I'm just cynical, so I'm concerned to see how manufacturers will attempt to minimize the impact to them.
