Charging Difference

[Shirley1969]

Why is my samsung A52 4g telling the accurate amount of time showing 59 mins before the battery gets full using 18 watts fast charging vs my a73 5g showing incorrect amount of time of 1hr 7 mins before it gets full? Not only that, there are a lot of times that even if I use a non fast charging cable, it still says the same amount of time for a73 5g and not with my a52 4g. Is a73 5g really like this?

Are you using the charger that came with your phone?

[Shirley1969]

Yes. I have 18 watts samsung charger and purchased 25 watts as well to test the difference. Gladly, i saw the big discrepancy that made me feel upset and fooled by samsung

[Shirley1969]

This time, I used 25 watts super fast charging and it shows that my a73 5g shows 56 mins before full at 49% which is inaccurate vs my a52 4g showing 47 mins until full with 47% battery which shows the accurate amount. Can you please help me understand if this is also the case with your a73 5g or a52s 5g? Thank you for those who will help. I really appreciate.

Are you saying that a73 5g requires a higher amount of time to charge compared to a52 4g?

Hi Shirley 1969,

It is a gauge of time, as it were, the higher the battery capacity, it requires longer time to fill, please.

Hope to satisfy your latest inquiry.

[Shirley1969]

Gotcha. What about the way it drains. 1% every 5 mins for a73 5g vs 10 to 15 mins for a52 4g while doing the same activity. During idle, it drains 3 to 4% per hour for a73 5g vs 1 to 2 % for a52 4g having the same settings where apps are all in deep sleep and data for both units are off. As in perfectly idle. A73 5g is more battery consuming

Hindi naman po cguro tama na ikumpara un charging difference nun dalawang device na magkaiba naman ng battery capacity at the first place.

Natural na mas matagal mag fully charged un A73 5g (5,000 mAh) compare to a52 4g (4,500 mAh)

Mas mabuti cguro same device na a73 5g po ang icheck at ikumpara nyo. With same settings and charger
