Android 15 is preparing to tweak the threshold that determines whether a charger is seen as fast, from 7.5W to a more reasonable 20W.

TL;DR

  • Android 15 is preparing to tweak the threshold that determines whether a charger is seen as fast, from a measly 7.5W to a more reasonable 20W.
  • The operating system has long considered any charging speeds of at least 7.5W to be fast, which is far, far below what actual fast chargers can deliver nowadays.
  • The change isn’t live yet in the latest Android 15 beta, though, so chargers that deliver 7.5W of power will still be seen as fast on Pixels.

    I got my S10 in my pocket, works perfectly, removable expandable 500 GB storage, headphone jack (that’s a fact), and has saved me thousands in buying a new phone, and that number just keeps going up every year

    I see all these paltry nonsense “improvements” hahahahaha. Lipstick on a pig that’s pretty enough already.
