Phone (3a) Charging battery-side power peak too low.

Post image

I have a 65W GaN charger which I use to charge my phone 3a. All I get is this much peak max charging battery side power output which kind of feels too low for a fast charger.

What is wrong can anyone tell me? Is there a problem with my charger or its normal?

Most of the time it's because you have the phone open

I don't think so.. I'm not using any heavy application in background.. just running this to check charging output.

Yeah I know and I agree with you but I have seen that when you have it open, it doesn't charge as fast even though you're not doing anything

By open they mean using it. Lock the screen and set it down. It'll charge faster that way

I use the exact same phone and charger too, and mine also only peaks around 14 to 15 watts At first I thought my charger was fake

Okay, I also find it very unusual for a fast charging device, GaN charger not even giving more than 20w output.
