Really? 2% per minute, that's like 30w speed!? What witchcraft have you got in your car??

Yeah, I guess I must have that wrong, maybe I had just arrived at work... and I guess popped it on charge for 10 mins. I don't remember that! (I have a 10 min drive to work, so saw it and thought it was my car charger...) Let's stick to my original plan of trying it on my Huawei charger later 
Soldato
It'd be great if you could. I found Accubattery to be meh. I always install it on a new phone just so I can record my own stats for battery performance but after a while you get to know your phone and it's one more unnecessary app. I also found a foible with the app (on my 7tpro anyway) that it would sometimes split one charging session into two for no reason that I can see. For example if I charged from say 30 to 90 it might show two different sessions from 30 to say 70 and then 70-90, the figures aren't usually that round, it could be any number really.Yeah, I guess I must have that wrong, maybe I had just arrived at work... and I guess popped it on charge for 10 mins.

I think/guess that's RAM management shutting the app down in the background, so it marks what it knows, but they come as separate session then. I love it initially for gauging a battery in a phone, with it giving estimated SOT and life with screen off etc.
Soldato
Ah you could be onto it there with the RAM management.
Soldato
That's interesting. PD is supposed to be in the 7T Pro but I have never seen it and I have two or three PD chargers from my Pixel 2XL days as well as a MacBook Pro charger and I have never been able to get more than a 10w charge except for the bundled charger obviously.
Soldato
In an hour it did 25%....
For me that's actually fine, as I charge overnight and I guess lower speeds it better for it. I have the cable laying there if I need a speedy top up!

I tested it and it indeed says its fast charging.
Went from 20 to 55% in 30 mins which sounds about right for 18W.
And I agree with Andy, fast charging when you're in a pinch. Slow 5w charging over night to keep temps low and maintain battery health.
Soldato
Is that with your Huawei 15w pad Andy? That would suggest 5w then as well? Agree it works for that type of charging habit however when I wireless charge I use the pad at my work desk and the phone is off and on quite often throughout the day so 5w isn't much use as it would never get any significant charge.
It really is a pity. Maybe someone can prove the 10w at some stage but I'm yet to see it.
Mine says Fast Charging as well but I never felt it actually was.
Probably because it still feels quite slow compared to Warp charge which is insanely fast. Warp gets from 20 to 82% in the same time. 30 mins.
Soldato
I timed this morning using my MacBook Pro charger (which is PD) and my 7T Pro "Charging Rapidly" increased 32% in 39mins. I can't find anywhere to work out an exact calculation but I put that in the 10w ballpark, probaby around 9w allowing for inefficiency etc. How that is Rapid charging I don't know.
Looks like it's borked on yours. Certainly working fine on the OP8.
Soldato
Possibly, however the phone is otherwise flawless. I very rarely use a charger other than the warp charger anyway (I have two as it happens) so it's not going to keep me awake at night.
Soldato
Surely it could depend on what % you started on? If it was from 68% up, that's great, no?
Soldato
36-68%, so that should be right in the ideal window.
Soldato
Yeah, that should have been quicker then.
My thoughts so far from having it a few days.
Link below for size comparison from my old mate 20x to this, hopefully the link wirkd.

This is a small phone for sure, easy 1 hand for me and I have small hands.
The screen is the gem on this phone, looks so nice and really bright. The 120hz has to be seen to be believed. So smooth and fluid, really makes 60hz look bad. You deffo won't go back for it. I was messing on my mates iPhone 11 pro and it just doesn't have the smoothness and fluidity of this.
I don't mind the curved screen at all. Mine didn't have a protector fitted but had 2 in the box, cheap nasty ones mind.
Sound is really good as well , wasn't expecting it to get close to the proper dual speakers ok the 20x but it's pretty good.
No complaints with the camera so far , not really had chance to test it properly with work.
So far pretty happy with it , battery I doubt will match the 20x but we will see in time.
It may be a bit faster than the 20x but it's not massive , considering I had that phone 7 months and it's still fast as hell.
Looking forward to faster updates on oxygen.

Good summary but...
Honestly, that's a pretty silly and misleading comment. If someone said to me (like my mother for example) they wanted a small phone and I bought them this, they would not be happy. It might be smaller than the 20X... you know, one of the biggest phones ever, but that doesn't make it a small phone.
