Mobile Phone Charging Article

[Teo Ming Ern]

In this article, the battery capacities were all different and the chart showing the time taken for a 100% charge isn't really very useful. I suggest that HWZ work out per minute charge (averaged) as well as for 0-60% and 60-100% since the observation is that all phones slowed their charging speeds once the battery crossed the 60% capacity level. This will give readers a sense of which phones would charge the fastest in an emergency charge. For busy people who needs the phone juiced up in the shortest period of time, it might make a difference to the phone model they purchase, all else being equal (e.g. comparing only Android platform, flagship phones and their feature sets).

Thanks!

Hi Ming Ern,

Thanks for your feedback and suggestions. We didn't include a per minute average as the speed at which the phones charge changes a lot depending on their current charge level, so we felt it was slightly misleading to show an average. Perhaps a line graph plotting the overall charge rate would have been better?

We tried to show in our article which phone charges the fastest after a reasonable amount of time (15 minutes, 30 minutes), as well as overall battery life, which should give you an idea of the best phone for busy people who need juice in the shortest period of time (it's the Oppo N3!).
