How fast are your phone chargers? Mine is like 15W and it's always been enough, the whole trend of crazy high wattage charging all the time is weird to me, seems like an emergency feature.

edit: forgot to actually answer lol, it's not noticable, and the phone recognizes fast charging (eg all 15 watts) with a 3m cable

Yeah im still rocking 8-10W ones. Makes your batteries live much longer, i have a swappable one so its not even as important but still.

For emergency people should just use a powerbank. There are really compact ones half the size of a phone that still charge your phone mostly full.
