I got my Z3 at the beginning of this week, and I have to say it is an amazing phone in a lot of areas including the battery life. I know there is another thread for battery life results from various users, but I want to create a dedicated thread for my personal experiments showing results of battery life and mainly its recharging capabilities on various chargers, wires, etc. that I have on hand. Hopefully, with a user profile and various tests, I hope this will help potential owners decide and current owners something to compare to.
Profile
I am an average (maybe a little less) user that came from using an LG Nexus 5, HTC One (M7), and Samsung Galaxy Nexus. I work 8 hours a day and regularly check the phone for text messages, replying to them throughout the day. During one hour lunch, I browse Imgur for some giggles and laughs. I don't watch YouTube videos unless I am given a YouTube link from friends' texts, or I am needing to watch some tech reviews, etc. I carry it in my pocket wherever I go, and frequently take it out to text friends. I can average calls 3-5 mins a day because I socialize more on-screen. When I am in my car, I mount it to the AUX of the car and listen to Di.FM. At home, I leave it on a tabletop until I need to use it for texts, YouTube videos, and browse the web.
Daily use experiment #1: From full charge, using 50% brightness w/ adaptive, no stamina mode - Duration was from 8AM Tuesday to Thursday 9:15PM.

Daily use experiment #2: From full charge, using 100% brightness w/ adaptive, no stamina mode
Recharge experiment #1: Full charge using OEM Sony USB wire + OEM Sony charger on outlet source (5V, 1.5A)
0% @ 0 min
18% @ 30 min
36% @ 60 min
53% @ 90 min
73% @ 120 min
91% @ 150 min
100% @ 165 min
It is 18% per 30 min charge time consistently. As a result, a full charge would take roughly 2 hours and 45 minutes.
Recharge experiment #2: Charge using Magnector X magnetic cable + laptop USB 2.0 port
53% @ 0 min
73% @ 30 min
81% @ 44 min
91% @ 63 min
100% @ 95 min
I heard from a friend that the Z series phone charges really fast up to 70%, and after that, they charge slower. This looks to be somewhat true based on the data above. It is hard to ball-park the total time it will take for a full charge based on this data. It is possible that the USB port outputs variable amps, who knows. I will have to do one from 0% to 100% next time, and maybe from a more constant power source (outlet).
Recharge experiment #3: Full charge using Magnector X magnetic cable + OEM Sony charger on outlet source (5V, 1.5A)
0% @ 0 min
22% @ 30 min
44% @ 60 min
63% @ 90 min
81% @ 120 min
91% @ 140 min
96% @ 155 min
100% @ 169 min
Total time to do a full charge is roughly 2 hours 49 minutes. It seems the Magnector X magnetic adapter charges inconsistently throughout its duration--starts out really fast up to 70-80%, then slowly afterwards.
Recharge experiment #4: Full charge using Magnector X adapter + Blackberry Folding Blade OEM charger on outlet source (output rated at 5V at 1.8A)
0% @ 0 min
28% @ 30 min
53% @ 60 min
78% @ 90 min
97% @ 120 min
99% @ 131 min
100% @ 157 min
This one is very interesting! Notice the super fast charging up to around 80% charge, then it slows down after that. The 99-100% mark is extremely slow. So with the Blackberry charger with more amp output, we expect this to be 99% in 2 hours and 11 minutes. Expect to wait another 25 minutes for 100% if you have that patience. This is the record in the recharge experiment!
Recharge experiment #5: Full charge using Aukey Quick Charge 2.0 18W USB Turbo Wall Charger Fast Charger (plugged to outlet) + Magtron Magnector X magnetic adapter (5V:2A / 9V:2A / 12V:1.5A)
0% @ 0 min
23% @ 30 min
48% @ 60 min
71% @ 90 min
94% @ 120 min
99% @ 134 min
100% @ 162 min
Unfortunately, after reading some posts online, the Quick Charge 2.0 does not work with magnetic port, but the USB port (or dock), or so some claim. Hence the charging time has not significantly improve (at all).
Recharge experiment #6: Full charge using Aukey Quick Charge 2.0 18W USB Turbo Wall Charger Fast Charger (plugged to outlet, USB port on phone) (5V:2A / 9V:2A / 12V:1.5A)
0% @ 0 min

The complete cycle was from 9:35 PM to 12:15 AM. Very disappointed that the results totally ignored QC 2.0 effect. It was as if my phone (D6603) does not work with QC 2.0.
The magnetic charging dock. They say it charges faster, has a higher current rating.
I'll be ordering one soon, but I am still deciding to get Sony or aftermarket.
+1, two thumbs up, and thanks to the OP for this thread! will definitely be looking forward to your experiments.

I don't think it is faster. The charge times are variable in the Recharge experiment #2 sadly.

Yeah, I started at 52% instead of at fully discharged, so the data is not complete--I assumed the data would be constant so starting anywhere was going to be okay. I will need to do one fully discharged.
keep up the good work OP! just got my magnector X cable today. looking forward to seeing the results of the rest of your test

I am using my GF's Z3. White one.
My first stats. I was on auto brightness. 2 sim cardb sa slots active, one on 2g and other on 3g. Heavy web browsing on wifi with autosync turned on and about 1 hour on 3g internet. I also streamed music from Spotify most of the time and listen to walkman about 80% of entire usage. Also watched a couple of youtube vids.

I used an OEM Samsung 5ft cable (I don't think the cable matters). I believe using the Magnector Cable + Blackberry Folding Blade OEM Charger is the same as Experiment #4, but I can certainly try when I get the phone to 1% again.
EDIT: Oh I found out that the Blackberry charger is one piece that includes the cable too. So I cannot use the Magnector Cable with it.
Signal Strength
Curious, but what is your signal strength through the day? I usually get 3-5 bars of LTE at my workplace, and it shows when you click the battery chart as the Mobile Signal is mostly orange instead of green.

Turbo Charger is able to supply at least 6% of charge for at least 45minutes, then it slows down to 4% per 5minutes until it's fully charged. That last 2% charge did take a lot longer though.
Trent charger is pretty much constant at 4% per 5 minutes, then down to 3% increase after it got to 92% charged.
I'll try a 1A charger next, lol I also have a Nexus 10 charger to try as well. I dont have a 3A charger to test.
Awesome info. Just curious why you start from 5%?

That's what the phone was at at the time I thought about doing it.
it's probably an 8%-10% increase per 5mins for the first 15mins for the Turbo Charger.
i'll do another this weekend.

Hey can you update it again as mine is taking 90-100 mins to chagre with the tubro charger itself.
Thanks
How hot does the battery get when you are turbo charging it? IIRC, hotter batteries = shorter battery life overall.
what happen to 15 min 60% charge lol.
my battery gets pretty hot/warm when charging.
I think it was 6 hours of usage (overall, not 6 hours of gaming) in 15 min. And with my battery lasting 36+ hours, that 23% would def get me 6 hours.

yours is about the same. mine charged in 93mins w/ the Turbo Charger. I dont think 3-7 mins is that much of a difference.
Now that I've added a few more apps tho, it might be a lil more. I'll try time it again.

Also tried an Anker 60W 6port USB charger.
It has Power IQ where it's supposed to adjust charging power to what the device requires. I think it's supposed to max out between 2a - 2.4a
Well, from completely drained out battery, it took a full 3hrs to fully charge the device.
If you want your device charged fast, don't get this charger.
If you have time to wait and a lot of devices to charge all at once and like to travel, get this device.
Has anyone monitored the voltage/current output of their turbo charger? I cannot get to the "turbo 2" output (12 V, 1.2 A) listed on the charger. Even from 4% battery, I max out ~ 9 V, 1.5 A, which is listed as "turbo 1". In my test today, charging was pretty constant around 1.3% per minute up to 60%, then dropped off as expected. Some more data: starting at 4%, here are the total times (in minutes) to critical percentages.

What app r u using to see the current output?? Ill check mine too
I personally found that the stock cable that comes with the phone doesn't allow for that much voltage/amperage to pass through it. I do have another cable at home that is thicker and it charges it a whole lot faster. I will try and get the data for it.
So what's the best cable and wall plug for fastest charging?
Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk
18 watts?
I am getting similar results as the OP. It works out to about 2400maH, which is about 75% charge in one hour. This is theoretically about the same as you would get from a 5v 2.4A (12w) amp non-turbo charger, which I have achieved with my "Note 3" 2.4A standard charger. One would think the turbo charger would charge about 50% faster on the Nexus 6 either at 9v 2A, or 12v 1.5A, which is 18w, which I haven't heard of anyone achieving.

For some reason, I don't trust those turbo chargers. I think I'll stay with a regular 2.1A charger. It doesn't charge real fast, but I have time and it may be safer for the battery.
My charging rate
Is anyone else not seeing charging rapidly with their stock charger?
No, I saw rates of 1500ma with a 2.4 amp car charger, usb a to c cable (screen showed rapidly charging). I also saw rates of 2400ma with the stock charger usb c to c cable (screen showed rapidly charging). I am guessing my battery was not drained enough to see higher charge rates.
I think your phone needs to be like 50% charge or less to really see the benefits of quick charge.

It was at 15% when I tried it. I have the stock charger and the Google 2 port 22.5w charger. I was plugged into the 2 port charger, but tried the stock charger for a minute. I may have had to leave it on the stock charger longer. Otherwise non "rapid" charging still took less than 2 hours from 15% to 100%.

I tried to edit my title I know it's not quick charge, but you can see youtube reviews where their phone shows "Charing Rapidly" on the lock screen and not just "charging". The phone can take up to 15W from the Type C port.
I tried the stock charger when the phone was at 60% and it varied between 1 and 2 amps. I'm going to run another test when the battery is lower. Sucks though because I typically try not to drain it that much.
Ok, I started charging with the stock 6p charger at 26%. I'm now at 74%. This charger does not ramp up in a linear fashion like other lithium-ion chargers that I'm familiar with. It's constantly ramping up and down over and over. The highest it's achieved was 2.8 amps for a few seconds and I would guess it may be averaging maybe 1 to 1.5 amps.
I'm wondering if it's even working to spec. Seems to me it ought to slowly ramp up to 3 amps, hold it, and then slowly ramp down at about 90%.
Anyone else monitored their charge rate?
Update: It took about 90 mins to go from 26% to 93%.
That sounds faulty. I can do that with a A->C setup in an hour. The google charger should be somewhat faster (40 minutes? Based on 2A vs 3A).

Load ampere from the play store and watch the charge rate. I wonder if it's just mine that has this very strange charge curve.
Glad I'm not going crazy. Coming from a Galaxy S6, I wasn't expecting the fast charge on this to be that slow.
From 46% to full on the stock fast charger supplied with the phone, it took an 1 hour 3 mins.
From 46% to full on my Anker IQ 71AN7105 which is supposed to output at 5V, 2.3 Amps, it took 1 hour 20 mins.
Both said the phone was "charging rapidly" when I plugged it in.
Just measured on the Anker, and it's showing charging rate at 640-790ma. So you're doing a lot better than I am! No wonder it's taking an age to charge!!!!
That's like normal non-fast charge surely.
I don't trust ampere to be honest.. charging current is supposed to vary but not the amount it's showing. I wonder if it's showing charging minus load, so having the screen on will make it give incorrect results, as will the various CPU sleep states, wifi, 3G, etc.
The real world test of time from x% to 100% or how many % in 30 minutes is somewhat better in that it's measuring the end result. I'll try to do that. (/me switches rob ross on twitch to drain some battery).

A typical charging curve is shown below. The shapes of the curves might vary some by battery and circuit, but in general a battery will draw full current (up to some limit) for a period of time and then the current draw will steadily decline. This is normal. A battery will charge from 0%-30% much faster than from 70%-100%. Beyond allowing 3A to the battery, there appears to be no "fast charging" technique employed by the 6P.
The real key is what is the charger actually outputting? This should be tested by an instrument, not the phone. If, for example, the charger is outputting 2.9A and the phone is 10% charged and only drawing your 700mA there is probably an issue OR the power control is limiting current for some valid reason. Maybe the battery temperature.

I was expecting a curve like this but it was a roller coaster starting at 26%. I expect the charger is putting out because I measured a momentary blip of 2.8 amps.
As was mentioned, Ampere may be part of the problem but I don't have other tools other than a simple time to full calculation. Do we even have specs as to what's that supposed to be?
OK here are the results I got:
Both started at 10%, with identical settings (although on different days, can't help that). Normal working settings.. I avoided having the display on except for checks and it was sat still so allowed to doze.
Code:
30 Mins 60 Mins 75 Mins Total Time
USB A 47% 81% 92% 93 mins
USB C 50% 85% 95% 82 mins
And expressed as % per minute
Code:
30 Mins 60 Mins 75 Mins To full
USB A 1.23 1.13 0.73 0.40
USB C 1.35 1.16 0.66 0.71
So, C (well, google's charger and cable) is around 15% faster for me* than A.
Around 90% charging visibly slows to a crawl on both methods. The first 80% or so are fast, but interestingly C gains most at the end as it doesn't slow down as much.
Edit: If you ignore the timings at the bottom, it looks very similar to the example graph posted. Which is expected I guess.
* YMMV, standard disclaimers, etc.
one thing to note is that the phone will also charge slower if your screen is on and generating additional heat. The phone will throttle the charging rate based on the temperature of the battery.
So while it's 15% faster, the battery capacity is more than 25% larger. So how is the real gain achieved?
I'm thinking that the google charger isn't sending 3A anyway.. You'd expect more difference even if my normal charger is going as high as 2.4A (and I'm not sure it goes that high without QC). USB C might be capable of it but this phone/charger combination isn't.
Hi everyone,
I have a galaxy s7 edge and i think that i have a problem with the fast charging feature, but i am not sure so i wanted to ask here.
As i know the phone supports fast charge 2.0 which should charge from 0-60% in 30 minutes. The phone charges fast, and it says that it uses fast charge, but it is just half the speed, normaly it charges 1% per minute, so that means it takes 60 minutes for 60%. Is that normal or should it charge faster, and if it should charge faster, what could be the issue, i am ussing the original charger which came with the phone.
I wondered that also. It takes close to 1 1/2 hours for be to charge. 0-60 never gets done in 30 minutes for me.
Do you keep turning on the screen to check progress? Quick Charge doesn't work while the screen is on.

Hello,
No, it does not matter, even if i do not touch the phone while it is charging it never gets the speed as it is advertised, only half of the speed. Does the always on matter in this point, because i have it enabled?
I think the 3600 mAh battery has something to do with it. It's a big battery. Those stats are likely for a smaller capacity battery.

Those stats are for when the phone is turned off and you put it on charge...
How long does it take you to charge from 0-100 without touching the phone? It should take around 1.5 hours.

That's a good question. I don't know. Turn it off next time you charge and see if it makes a difference.
My note 5 used to charge from 2-100 in 70 minutes. The s7 edge takes 30 minutes more for me. Guessing it's the battery. Also, if you're using the phone and fast charging is on, it'll charge slower than if you were to turn off fast charging. Meaning, if you're using your phone and charging it, better off turning off fast charging since the regular charging will charge it faster while using the phone

Hi.
I one (only once) noticed that my S7E didn't charge well even though plugged in to original charger and cable. Somehow the cable wasn't connected tight on the charger side. This was causing the problem of showing fast charging on the display but slow charging actually.
Atm I'm charging and monitored the progress:
start charging at 1 %
10 min 15 %
20 min 27 %
30 min 37 %
41 Min 50 %
1h 8 min 80 %
1h 40 min 100 %
Fast charger works fine with charger you get phone. Fast wireless charger doesn't work as fast for me. If you leave the phone alone, honestly it does charge fast

Even if you disable fast charging?
This shouldn't be the case. When I disable fast charging it shows a couple of hours remaining till fully charged, don't know exactly how much.

That was about the same as mine last night when I started charging around 22%. Strange how there isn't much difference in the timings.

Also same in my case.
Tried mine yesterday and took about 1 hour, 35 mins from 0 to 100%
My s7 edge (though using s6 active fast charger), showed 42% at start of fast charge.. after 30 minutes it had only gone to 51% or about 9% gain.. not normal.. i tried the same test with an s6 active and it gained about 15% or more in 15 minutes (not 30).
Still trying to rule out the charger, but i noticed this same slowness last nite on the native s7 edge charger.. so i dont think its the charger..
edit: after wiping system partition cache.. 16 minute test i jumped 8% .. i guess this is more normalish though still a tad low.
I would like to verify the same as some users explained.
Fast charge does charge quick in my phone, maybe not as quick as expected.
But i normally leave fast charge disabled, heavy user and dislike picking the device in when its warm.
I was about to pop out, device had like 5-10% battery.
Plugged it in and it said 2 hours to charge.
Unplugged, Enabled fast charge, time went to 1 hour 25 minutes.
So it chopped around 30 minutes off the charging time.
hi, I don't know if this's the place, but I am on stock firmware for s7 (g930f) and it charges really slow (like 4 hours to full charge), does anybody know why? (original charger)
Hi I just wanted to know that The quick charge 3.0 claimed by LG G6 is really quick or not ? I will attach below what all I got at various timings.
Starting from Phone switched off that is 0% , I switched on the phone and let it charge and didn't use the phone at all rather than timely checking the battery charge only
28 minutes 27%
32 minutes 28%
45 minutes 42%
53 minutes 50%
60 minutes 58%
80% at 1 hr 18 minutes (Qualcomm claim to slow down after)
90% at 1 hr 31 minutes
100% full charge at 1 hr 55minutes.
Is the charger provided with the box is QC 3.0 or 2.0 ? 9v -1.8amp / 5v - 1.8amp

Testing phase 2 using LG charger plus Oneplus 3 cable
10:20Pm - 5%
11:20Pm - 77%
11:30Pm - 85%
12:00Am - 100%
From the above data I got j think it charges fast upto 80~85 or 90% then slows down to trickle mode
Fone was made sure of clearing ram from recent apps
Is there someone can confirm how fast it charge with quick charger 3?
LG G6 doesn't support
QC3 with current firmware at all. It's doesn't matter which charger you use.

It doesn't matter what charger you use: LG or other certified QC 3.0 charger.
2. This thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g6/how-to/qc3-0-included-t3601591
Any charger takes about 2 hours to full charge a phone. It's way too long for QC3.0

I concur.
I don't particularly want to go over old ground regarding my H870DS, but I have three QC 3.0 chargers, the charger that comes with the G6, and my QC 2.0 charger from my Z2 tablet, all of them charge my G6 at the same speed - 1% a minute. But what is more interesting, is that all of the QC 3.0 charger I have, are backward compatible, and they all charge my G5 a lot faster than my G6. 0 to 70% on the G6 takes around 1 hour 10 mins, the G5 takes 40 minutes for the same percentages. Something is clearly amiss!
Exactly this same experience. LG calls it “fast charging“: indeed it is, but it isn't QC3.
For me not a deal breaker, just my observation(s) only.
QC3 isn't any faster than QC2 the only difference is qc3 is more energy efficient which means it can change the voltage on the fly.
QC2 can't do this an excess energy is expelled as heat when the battery reaches near full capacity. QC3 can adjust the voltage to prevent this energy loss.
QC3 is likely better for the battery as it doesn't generate as much heat but it's no faster than QC 2.

No.
By definition of the USB-C specifications QC QuickCharge is not allowed. Thats why Goolge says that they shall not include QC into their phones but USB-PD (and yes, as it seems the G6 also has PowerDelivery).
I think it is more futuree-proof to buy a charger with USB-C PD and in some jears we can use it for all kind of stuff like phones,tablets, laptops etc
Testing phase 3!!!
Well guys today I tried again back with Stock charger and Stock cable got with box.
96% at 1 hour 22 minutes. I couldn't record the 100% time due to busy time.
Main thing this time did was
NEVER TURN ON SCREEN... NOT EVEN ONE TIME IN BETWEEN.

When testing phase 2, your phone was 95% at 1h40, with testing phase 3 your phone was 96% at 1h20. No big difference when you turn screen off.

To power up, you consume Red Bull. But your phone just needs its adaptive fast charger. Rate this thread to express how quickly the OnePlus 7 Pro can charge. A higher rating indicates that it charges extremely fast.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
The battery life could be better, but the charging speed is amazingly fast!
The charging speed is tremendous fast.
Fast as hell (fist charge after factory here starting at 13%, end at 94%) - much much faster compared with Galaxy note 8 and my ancient Sonny z5p.. a beast (btw, as advertised - no heating at all - at around 27c room temp)
I get about 5,2 A using the stock charger

No.
0 to 50% in 20m. That's it. It's not 50% in 20m.
BTW, at least half a dozen tests on YouTube. Pretty easy to confirm.
My battery heats up to 42 degrees C while warp charging, and I don't like that; the upper threshold for LI-Ion bateries where damage starts to occur is at around 45 degrees , and it's way too close for comfort.
Luckily I have my handy-dandy dash charger from op3t and I'm using that for now. It charges at 3.4A until 80% and after that it's identical to the warp charge; and the best part, it doesn't go higher than 36 C.
If you do a quick math, 80% of 4000mah is 3200 so, in almost an hour the phone is at 80%, that means it takes around half an hour to get to 40%. I can live with that difference at the cost of keeping my battery in shape.
Most recently I came from a Moto G6 that has rapid charge and I thought it was pretty good. One Plus p7 stock charger kicks A** fastest charge I've ever had!!
Wonder if charges faster in airplane mode? That's I've always charged all my phones when I NEED that quick battery charge
Obviously the less you have in use while charging, the better; that's for any phone. Best speeds achieved when phone is off and you're charging.
My experience has been great. Realize also for battery protection that once the Li-Ion battery gets to 80%, it purposefully slows the charge rate down.

Could be better? Try out an iPhone XS Max for just one day and you want to die. It needs like 3 hours to fully charge and Apple users are okay with that.

Charging speed chart + temperature
I created two simple charts presenting the charging speed with WARP Charge and without where the second chart shows the temperature rise during charging. During both measurements the phone was switched on without any restrictions (e.g. background processes were running normally, Wi-Fi and BT were on, etc.). I pointed out the peak temperatures on the temperature chart. The "standard charging" means that the phone was charged with a standard 12 W charger (5 V / 2,4 A). I hope that some of you guys will find it useful.
I wonder why some users can charge their 7 Pro within 60 Minutes from 0-100% (saw many YouTubers), whereas others (like me) need 80 minutes to charge it from 0-100.
Even when the phone is powered off.

I haven't tried going from 0%. I can't resist putting a little charge on it if it gets below 30% or so.
I do think the only thing faster than this that I've personally experienced was the mate 20 pro.

For me it's the same, 0-35% in 20 minutes, 0-50% in 30 minutes, 0-100% in 80 minutes
I have got a usb type c to type c 3.1 gen 1 cable. heard that, usb power delivery 15W (5V *3A) is enabled in one plus 7 pro. So I tried connecting op7pro to my laptop's thunderbolt 3 port.. but, charging speed was around 1700mAh only, as compared to expected 3000mAh.
Warp charge is lightning quick! Often reads 5850mAh!!
Any thoughts on this?
Quick Charger,fast and amazing
