Fast charging quietly changed my life — and it might change yours too

I’m old enough to remember when most smartphones topped out at 5W or even 10W charging speeds. In fact, my first proper Android phone was 2012’s Sony Xperia V, and it offered a mere 5W power level.

The world has moved on rapidly, with 45W, 65W, 80W, and even 120W charge speeds now available. But even so, some users still prefer slow charging. However, to be honest, I think most people don’t realize they want fast charging until they’ve actually used it.
