Even if a mobile phone has a USB-C connector and is compatible with fast charging, it will not charge at maximum speed with all chargers. This is a hot topic in the last few weeks because the iPhone 15 will have USB-C and yet it will not be compatible with all fast charging systems. But it’s a problem we’ve had on Android for years.
And here are three factors at play: cables, chargers, and most importantly, protocols that are a real headache. While in Xataka Android we mainly cover information about the Google ecosystem, what will happen to the iPhone 15 and why? Android fast charging issue is an issue that manufacturers need to fixalthough it doesn’t seem like it will.
it is already known that It’ll be news when Apple makes a move. We will focus on the load, forgetting about other cases. You already know that the European Union requires the new iPhone 15 to have a USB-C port. It seems unbelievable that when they bet heavily on MacBooks (removing the others until the launch of the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro) and even the new iPads have USB instead of Lightning, they still don’t have that port.
The change will be good for the iPhone because Lightning’s transfer speed and power pales in comparison to USB-C, but in recent days we’ve been reading that yes. While iPhone will have USB-C, it won’t charge at full speed with all cables. And, as analyst Ming-Chi Kuo (one of the most respected sources in the Apple universe) comments, the iPhone 15 will require MFI certification for the cable and/or charger to charge at maximum speed. .
MFi stands for “Made for iPhone”A certification from non-Apple manufacturers as long as their products meet the apple company’s specifications. It is not yet known what charging power the iPhone will support (in its range, OPPO has the X6 Pro with 100 W charging and Samsung the Galaxy S23 Ultra with 45 W charging), but we know that only the box cable will work, and in case of loss, a certified cable must be paid will be required. Yes definitely, Kuo predicts The increasing demand for 20W MFi chargers is something that could give us a clue about the power the new iPhone will have.
Well, after providing some context as to why there is so much talk about “special cables” for charging the iPhone 15, let’s move on to Android because the same problem has existed on Google system mobiles for a very long time.
As we said a few lines ago, There are three elements that come into play.. All cables may look the same, but they are not. In fact, it’s a common mistake made with any type of cabling, and not all Ethernet cables allow the same speed, and not all USB-C cables are equally fast.
The best will always be the one that came with your phone., because it has the necessary features to take better advantage of the technology that the manufacturer introduces in the charger. For example, over the years manufacturers have tried chargers with higher voltages and more amperes, but variants have appeared.
A “10A” appears, indicating the current that can transmit the wire.
Some manufacturers have based their fast charging technologies on increasing the voltage, while others, for example, have chosen to increase the amps to increase the current. In Huawei chargers using the second method, you will find that the cable first determines the amps. The same thing happens with Realme.
That is, the charger has some features, the cable has the capacity to transmit the power of the charger, and finally the mobile phone has the necessary equipment to optimize the energy it receives. Here An attempt has been made to standardize things a bit with Qualcomm’s Quick Charge systembut then each company changes that standard or creates its own standard to increase charging power.
This is realme GT 3 with official charger. If you connect to another device, you won’t see ‘SuperVOOC’ on the screen even if it’s very fast, which means there is no maximum charge.
Xiaomi/Redmi/POCO has Super Charge Turbo, Samsung Super Fast Charge, Motorola TurboPower and Honor/Huawei has SuperCharge. Each has its own characteristics and features but is ‘incompatible’ between brands. Yes, a Motorola 45 charger (if available) will “fast” charge the Samsung, but not at the 45 W power of the Galaxy S23+, for example.
There are brands with compatible chargers.Like those belonging to the BBK group. Vivo, OPPO, OnePlus or Realme have FlashCharge, VOOC, Dash and Dart technologies respectively, but they are all based on the same technology and have different names for marketing reasons.
There is also a PowerDelivery system this adapts to the power your phone can handle. For example, if you have a 130W PD charger and your phone charges at a maximum of 45W and is compatible with the PD system, the charger will bring that maximum power from your mobile phone while charging. If you connect it to a laptop charging at 60 W PD, it will output up to 60 W, which is up to 130 W, which is the maximum it can deliver.
You see, there is a lot of talk about iPhone 15 MFi cables, but We’ve been struggling with charging systems on Android for years. And although there are many improvements in power (Realme GT 3, which charges 100% in 10 minutes), we see that each company continues to fight for compatibility on its own.
