Why only Samsung doesn't have super fast charging in Android phones? You'll understand after reading it

I believe many friends may be curious, why only Samsung doesn't have super fast charging in Android phones? Let's have a good chat together today!

The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, priced at over 10000 yuan, only has a charging power of 45W, making it a "younger brother" in front of the iQOO11Pro's 200W fast charging. So, why isn't Samsung equipped with super fast charging?

This has to mention the Samsung Note7 battery explosion in 2016. In order to improve the battery safety and restore the brand image, Samsung mobile phones have since used gel batteries.

Here is a brief introduction to the difference between gel battery and lithium-ion battery.

The raw material of lithium-ion batteries is electrolyte (liquid or colloid); The raw materials of gel battery are polymer electrolyte (solid or colloidal) and organic electrolyte.

Lithium ion batteries are prone to explosion in high-temperature and high-pressure environments; The polymer lithium battery (gel battery) uses aluminum plastic film as the shell. When organic electrolyte is used inside, the liquid will not explode even if it is very hot. Under the influence of external force, it will smoke at most and will not explode.

Due to the advantages of natural materials, gel batteries can be very thin, arbitrary area and arbitrary shape, because their electrolyte can be solid or colloidal rather than liquid.

The safety of gel battery is higher than that of ordinary lithium-ion battery in both acupuncture test and high temperature test.

But this comes at a cost, because the essence of charging is that lithium ions pass from the positive electrode to the negative electrode through the electrolyte. However, the jelly like electrolyte of gel battery will lead to greater resistance of ion passing through and poor performance at high magnification.

Simply put, the fast charging rate cannot be improved, which is why the charging speed of Samsung phones is like that of Apple's iPhone.

Smart users, especially those who use Apple and Samsung phones, may say that charging quickly damages the battery, and the faster the charging speed, the greater the damage to the battery!

Once again, this is a rumor! The damage of fast charging to the battery is not significant, but mainly due to your psychological effects. Generally, the capacity of super fast charging batteries is relatively small, and the most intuitive feeling is that the battery life is short, which is why you have the idea of fast charging damaging the battery.

Some people also feel that Samsung's approach is a bit overcorrected. Other manufacturers are still using ordinary lithium-ion batteries and have not seen their phones explode!

Finally, I want to ask you, do you think Samsung should give up gel batteries for super fast charging? You can chat in the comments section~
