Charging speed

[‬1‬]

my old oneplus 3 had longer battery life and faster charging speed than galaxy s8+. I have currently stock rom and don't know if there is any other custom rom with better battery life though.

Yesterday I charged my s8+ with the original fast charger and the original cable and it took 1 hour and 34 mins to charge from 1% to 100% and today I tried charging with the original charger of my s5 and it took 1 hour and 48 mins from 1% to 100%.
This is it? Only about 15 mins difference? 1 hour and 34 mins is quick but the difference between fast charging and regular charging with a normal charger isn't big at all.

Just a quick question. Did you happen to have the screen on or turning it on frequently while charging?

The S8 only "actually" quick charges when the screen is off. It says it's Fast charging" while plugged in to a compatible fast charger, but only charges at the 4.8 Volts and around 1.5 amps when the screen is turned on. When the screen turns off, it jumps to the 8 Volts and 1.8-2.0 amps.

seems silly I know, but there must be a reason behind it. Maybe potential overheating if being used too heavily (gaming, movies, etc) while trying to fast charge at the same time. But I would have never thought that until I plugged in a voltage and amp meter inline with the charger to see what was actually flowing through.

Working good.

0-100 takes about 1h 40 mins. Ehh pretty disappointing considering the competition has much better faster charging. OnePlus' Dash Charge for example.

Best battery life I've ever had!!!

No doubt.Battery life is very important subject if you use your phone along time during that time you need battery.Samsung s8 is best .

To power up, you consume Red Bull. But your phone just needs its adaptive fast charger. Rate this thread to express how quickly the Samsung Galaxy S8+ can charge. A higher rating indicates that it charges extremely fast.

Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

Very fast. Love it.

What's your charging current with QI fast charge? Mine is pretty low about 700ma.

52 minutes to charge from 3%.

52 minutes to charge from 3%.

it takes me 78 minutes from 3%, how though!

I use a black theme from substratum and disabled alot of Samsung and Bixby bloatware. I also wasn't using the phone.

I got some fast charging USB C cables from Ali Express and use these with the mains plug from my Amazon Kindle

Went from 30% to 100% in 45 mins, however I was streaming video podcasts whilst I was doing this but overall I'm very happy with the charging speed

What's the normal discharge rate when idle? I'm worried about my phone

Hello guys, i have a brand new s8+ and i was wondering whats the difference between normal charging and fast charging, as in Accu Battery Pro, the amp and the voltage seems the same for the both charges, just the heat and the time is different? did any of you test this and find it almoast the same?

Oh, yea i forgot the screen off thing. Maybe you are right.
Anyway did you ever estimate your battery life, i did it with accu and after 5 charges, it says 3600, 104%. Is it possible, or its an error.
