Do fast-charging phones still harm battery health? I tested them to find out
I tested this year's best flagship smartphones to see if fast charging is still bad for battery health. Here are the winners and losers.

TLDR = no answer is given in the article.
Android 'journalism' has been dead for years now. Nothing but engagement-bait, inconsequential articles like this, and "sneak peaks" into unannounced features that may never see the light of day (remember when Mishaal Rahman revealed that Google was working on making Pixel phones work as a dash cam video recorder? never saw the light of day).
Yeah and they didn’t perform the same tests on any iPhone model.
Lol, nice.
Not that it matters, really, as it's all about battery chemistry, and there's no such thing as a free lunch.
Apple may do something differently than Android manufacturers, but they all have the same choices - tweak the voltage/current profile, manage temp, limit recharge bounce when a phone sits on the charger.
Actual answer: fast charging will always do more damage than slower charging. It's all tradeoffs, and I will trade my battery longevity for fast charging when I need it. When I have time, slower charging is fine.
Oh, thanks. Downvoted then.
