Quoting the tl;dr in the linked article:
Samsung could be stepping up its game by offering seven years of major Android updates for the Galaxy S24 series, and the generous update policy might extend to other Galaxy flagships.
The Galaxy S24 series might also introduce charges for AI features like Live Translate and Pixel-like photo editing tools after 2025.
There’s speculation that users may need to sign in to their Samsung accounts for certain AI functionalities.
I mean, just have 65W+ charging. It’s the single biggest feature that neither offers.
It’s as if the whole world is split between those who could not live without it and those who haven’t yet experience it.
I was at an airport recently where my flight was delayed a few hours. There were so many anxious people waiting to use plug sockets, the fear of a dead battery making the atmosphere tense everywhere, you could almost smell it.
I waited for the queues to form when the flight was called to board and eventually a plug socket near my seat in the bar became free. 20% to 80% in 15 minutes, onto the plane and sorted.
Google, Samsung & Apple are useless for me until they have that.
Wouldn’t a power bank solve that issue? So far the airports I’ve been to usually have the power sockets completely hogged so I don’t even count on the chance that one is free. I usually bring along a power bank that gets me through 2-3 full charges of my phone.
really I’ve rarely seen airports that full even LAX but I also don’t travel during the busy times of the year
I am from Singapore so most of my flights are from Changi Airport which is quite packed I guess.

This is the future.
You don’t need 100% battery. You need a battery that doesn’t go flat.
Fast charging just buggers the battery. Too much heat isn’t great
With a wireless product like that you’re probably not even going to get enough power to charge your phone. Maybe sustain it.

Is there a timestamp ? I’m not watching a 1 hour vid.
Watt up and ossia have been around for a few years. Both have products on the ground. I have full faith in them. I understand that physics has a theoretically limit for power. More power requires more energy. Too much energy and you’ll burn a face off.
Yet these companies exist and have backers in the billions. Either they have a working system or they are great conmen.
Considering that we just saw hyperloop die with over 500 million invested… conmen it’s more likely than you think. The fact that people like you believe that physics even allows this to work is literally what allows them to continue the con. Qi charging barely works… inverse square law proves that we cannot do more than a few inches for anything that will be sufficient for a phone and the waste power to do it will be ginormous.
Valid. But there are products out there.
People like me believe. Ho there. Back your arse right up.
I follow along with what I am told. If someone says they can do it. Show that it can be accomplished. You pop up and say actually it can’t and here’s why.
Believing either of you is a toss up. Both come to the table with evidence.
At the end of the day the product will either work or it won’t. Man went to the moon. 100 years ago they’d say can’t be done. 200 before that and the ability to stream video over the internet would get you burnt for being a witch.
I’m sure science had fundamental laws but things change. Those laws aren’t concrete. They are shown to exist but that doesn’t mean things can’t alter or impact those.
I can choose to believe.
I have invested in wattup. I think it’s possible. Disney showed that it was possible. Just that an entire room was electrified and that you’d die of you went inside. We can mess with it.

It did win ces awards. Now that may be a good or a bad thing. But it’s not vaporware.
They have products out that work.
You don’t need to charge it though.
Don’t even need to sustain it. Just slow it’s discharge. I don’t need 100% phone.
I barely go out. Either at the office or at home.
Once we get solid state batteries in phones. A slow charge overnight and and slowing charge during the day. That’s all I need. Probably a lot of people.
People who are flying and all over the place. They have something for they. Battery packs. They don’t need kits all over the place. Can charge on plane. Can charge in Uber. Can charge on bus. In pubs/cafes.
You may want to watch the video. Specifically the 2.5mW segment.
My pixel has a slow charge feature I think. It uses that by default at night usually. Pretty nifty I guess.
I have the same. Every phone should. It’s just thrashing the battery and you don’t need full charge an hour after going to bed. It’s got hopefully 8 hours to charge.
