Yeah! I’m digging my S6!

Who buys a smartphone based on charging time?
Does it give bragging rights? I guess.
But, so what?
As long as the phone gives you a full day of usage before requiring recharging....and can recharge while you recharge (sleep)....there is no problem.
I have a mid-range LG-G Stylo and It will easily go more than a day with constant use. It will go more than a week just sitting on the counter turned on.
Phone had a good price and runs Android lollipop.
I saw an ad in a Verizon store window for a phone advertising a battery life of 48 hours. Don't remember the brand name of the phone and this might be a gimmick, but if I could get a phone battery to last just one day, I'd be a happy camper.
My Asus ZenFone 2 with 4 GB RAM and 64 GB storage charges DAMNED Fast ... maybe 30 minutes for a full recharge ... ... I love it ...
It connects to the Internet is a fraction of a second — Facebook loads before I can blink my eyes...
Fast charge and fast machine.
Might be important if you have to frequently recharge through the day. I plug my iPhone 5 in at night, and using an iPad charger it is 100% very quickly. If I have bluetooth off I charge it every other day. With bluetooth on all day I still have between 25% and 50% power at the end of each day.
Faster charging lowers battery life. Since iPhones cannot easily change batteries, they are designed to charge slower.
"Milliamps per minute" is an almost meaningless unit of measurement, which suggests that the people doing the measurement were not very savvy in their knowledge of electronics.
Milliamps itself is a measurement of charge flow per unit of time, so milliamps per unit of time would be what, a measurement of the acceleration of the flow of charge?
It reminds me of all of the solar power "experts" who talk about "kilowatts per hour" when they should be discussing "kilowatt hours". It makes a difference.
But that's all mathy and sciency and stuff, which is much too hard to understand (said Barbie)...
Idiots. The SONY Xperia Z3 with the QuickCharge 2.0 adapter charges to 35% in 5 minutes, half the time of their “champion” Asus.
Whats a smartphone? My cell phone can’t even take a picture :<((( But I know what TCP/IP is.
Get the right charger. I bought this and the phone and tablet charge quickly. Faster then the provided charger.

A couple of thoughts...
Modern battery technology still has some “issues” - one of which is you must make a choice - battery life (long-term) or convenience when it comes to charging. Regardless of the software behind charing (Apple makes a big deal out of their regulation of charging), the higher the amperage you charge at (aka - faster charge), the shorter life that battery will have. The long-standing rule of battery charging (regardless of battery type), is that a slow charge is better for it. Deep cycling of the battery on a regular basis is also hard on it.
So - while the convenience of a fast charge might be appealing, realize that it comes at a price - and that is the physical battery will need to be replaced sooner (and the overall life per-charge will also diminish quicker).
Now - with a lot of consumers, they don’t keep a device long enough for this to be a major problem.
I am looking to buy out my contract and charging duration is my number 1 beef with all cell phones. I am thinking the S5 must be just behind the S6? Will likely get the S6 - just that the S5 is quite a bit cheaper. I’m Canadian so we have the least competitive phone market in the Western world, meaning plans here are an outrage.
There is a direct correlation between charging rate, and battery temperature. The faster the phone charges, the hotter the battery gets.
There is a direct correlation between battery temperature and battery life. The hotter a battery gets, the shorter it’s expected life expectancy will be.
So, what would you rather have, a phone that charges slower - but with a battery that dependably lasts more than a year or two; or a phone that charges very fast but with a battery life that is just not that great?
I’ll wait for the slower charging, but more dependable battery.
