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.

That's ridiculous. People have been buying light bulbs based on Watts for around a century and understand that higher W means brighter and more power.

Bad example. People are still confused with light bulbs. That's why they still say the equivalent wattage to incandescent bulbs.

You make it sound like a joke but that's literally all it takes here.
