After posting last week’s survey of smartphone charging speeds, we’ve been keeping a close eye on it. After a few hours, the 15-30 minutes and 30-45 minutes options were evenly matched, outperforming both other responses in the survey. But then things started to turn around.

In a surprising result, the poll ended up with the 15 minutes or less option at the top and by a decent margin too. People have really gotten into fast charging. The 15-30 and 30-45 minute answers are still on par, but fell well short of the super-fast option.

As usual, there were concerns about the negative effects on battery longevity that fast charging might have. But another opinion has emerged: As the requirements for apps and games increase over time, a 2-year-old phone may start to feel sluggish. Then you’ll start looking for a new phone, even if the battery life is still great.

To put it another way, battery degradation is only a problem if it happens faster than the rest of the phone. Depending on your use cases, the chipset may still appear to be quite fast.
