    Overnight. I find that “fast charging” as a feature is just a crutch for not having enough battery life to last a day. Why would I ever want to carry a bulky charger around all day instead of just having a phone that’s 1mm thicker?

    oh right it’s to make us buy more accessories

      Thanks to overnight slow charging, swappable batteries, and a magnetic charge coupler, my S5 from 2014 still works great. I use it in the shower for tunes, and drag it to appointments to use the IR blaster to turn off fox news in waiting rooms.

      So, in a way, it’s also to make us buy more phones.
