Some manufacturers like Samsung, Oneplus, etc do not like you to use third party chargers so they deliberately detect them and block superfast charging. Although depending upon their limitation you may still get 18W charging (Samsung does as I saw in reviews) meanwhile OnePlus wants you to use only their dash charger so you'll only get 10W there. It's the phone manufacturer limitation not the charger.

S20FE 5G doesn't fast charge with Oneplus/Realme fast chargers but OP 5T fast charged with Realme's fast charger (maybe because its an older model that doesn't have limitation)
 
How come the battery health remains at 96% after a year of using 65W charger? I thought faster charging kills battery health. For this specific reason I wanted to get a slow charger! Like in the 10 or 12W range.

Batteries don't cost much nowadays. Oneplus charges 1200-1500 to replace the batteries on their newest models.

Oneplus (and probably OPPO) are the worst of the lot as they deliberately prevent you from using any third-party charger. In short, you don't have any slow charging option at all and have to only use their brick. Can't wait for USB-PD to become a standard as the proprietary charging standards from the Chinese manufacturers is simply causing compatibity issues.

Anyone telling you otherwise is fooling you. OPPO has admitted to misleading marketing in secret but maintain a different stance publicly. This was a tweet from Andrei from Anandtech last year.

Yeah I knew that and now I know for sure. Thanks for the link to the tweet. On that note, which brand of chargers would be good, Anker? Looking for a 10W or 12W adapter with USB C support.

Samsung and Apple provide USB-PD chargers. You also need a USB 3.1 PD cable. OnePlus never correctly clarified USB-PD support and also kept changing it with firmware back when I had an OP phone.

Non PD chargers operate at less than 500 mA even though they might be 10-15W chargers. They unnecessarily keep breaking standards to promote their own charging solution and of course their charger works with nothing else.

Yeah, Anker ones have generally held up well with time. I have far too many Samsung 15W chargers and they usually work well with every device.

Since it's a dual cell battery it splits the wattage across two of them.

3 easy steps to not murder your battery with fast charging:

1. Don't charge overnight unless you have to

2. Plug it in when you wake up. Go brush, make coffee. Viola you're phone is at 85%

3. Try not to charge to 100% unless you need to.

Also I've got a free battery replacements coz of some care plan. To add to that batteries are cheap as hell and even if I'd have to replace it in a yr the convenience and time saved are worth it to me.

I don't know which oneplus charger you had but I've used everything from a Oneplus 3 charger to a Nord 2 charger and all of them have charged phones at normal speeds - not warp speed. Heck, I even charged an ipad (Air 2) using my Oneplus charger and it charged faster than the original Apple charger.

Does Oneplus follow standards, No. Do their chargers work with other devices, Yes. May not give you full speed but they do charge at normal speeds.
 
I wouldn't worry much about battery. I will prefer to go for large battery with fastest possible charging. Battery replacements are cheap. Mostly under 2K with labour charges at official service center for android devices. Not sure about iOS devices though.
