Samsung Galaxy S6 fast charging battery

Finally, manufacturers are beginning to realize that it is not all about launching smartphones with better components, but about find the balance between specifications and actual use. Samsung has achieved this with its Samsung Galaxy S6. It's basically the fastest-charging smartphone on the market, in just 73 minutes.

The fastest to load

The battery of the Samsung Galaxy S6 is not the largest capacity on the market, although it is one of the best autonomy offers us, something we'll talk about later (head over to Android Help in an hour and a half). The company has managed to optimize energy use very well, thanks to the processor Exynos Octa that has been used. Dispensing with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 has been a really good thing for the company's flagship. Great power, great performance and low consumption battery. All to allow you to use a lower capacity unit, which obviously charges faster. It can be charged in only 73 minutes.

High speed charging

Although it is not only a question of the battery being of a lower capacity, but also of the fact that the high-speed charging technology. We only have to compare the Samsung Galaxy S6 with its rivals, a comparison that you can see in the image above this paragraph, to realize the effect of this technology. The Samsung Galaxy Note 4, with a larger battery capacity, is the second fastest-charging device on the market. This is also due to this high-speed charging technology. It's never a bad thing for manufacturers to focus not only on the power or quality of the multimedia or processing components, but also on the battery. And we've learned that it's not just a matter of a longer-lasting battery; loading time Obviously, this has consequences if we can only charge the battery to 50%, as we will be able to charge the battery faster.

On the Galaxy S6, fast charging works with standard chargers. Adaptive Fast Charging and compatible with Quick Charge 2.0To achieve maximum speed, it is advisable to charge with the screen off or the device inactive; if the phone or the environment heats up, the system automatically reduces power to protect battery. Speed ​​is highest at low levels and slows down near 100%.

Non-removable battery, smart reset and management

The Galaxy S6 has a battery not removable, a design decision to achieve a slim metal body and promote high charging speed. If you need to remove it, it must be done by an authorized service center; unauthorized removal can affect the warranty.

If your phone freezes and becomes unresponsive, you can force restart it by holding down Power + Volume Down for more than 7 seconds. If problems persist, consider freeing up space, checking for updates, using the Safe Mode or factory data reset (after making a backup).

With the application Smart manager (pre-installed), you can optimize battery life by closing high-power apps and activating power saving modes. In Settings > Battery you can see the percentage, estimated time to full charge and the remaining battery life based on your actual usage, not a fixed average.

Integrated wireless charging

It is one of the most notable features of this terminal and its flat screen version, the Galaxy S6, since it can be charged wirelessly, that is, no need for cables and simply by placing the device on the wireless charger. This charger is a round platform that lights up when charging starts and turns off when charging is complete or the phone is removed. With a charger compatible with the Qi standard, the battery can be completed in approximately 3h, a very convenient option at home, in the office or in establishments with integrated Qi chargers.

Beyond hardware, Samsung incorporates sustainability initiatives: the label Climate Partners In certain products, it certifies climate footprint calculation, objectives and financing of climate projects (example certification: 1VBSIU), reinforcing an energy efficiency approach that is also reflected in its management software.

Smartphones are constantly being updated. It's not unusual to find a new model from any brand every year. The most common updates are software issues or camera pixels. One part that isn't often updated and that most users have issues with is the battery.

There are few smartphones on the market that have a battery life of more than a day. With the constant updating of apps and the fact that phones are becoming more powerful every day, they are causing the battery to consume more and more. The problem is here. Batteries with a large capacity need to be of a certain size and What users demand is a light and small mobile phone. Both features are incompatible with a long-lasting battery.

Battery life isn't progressing. What is improving is the time it takes to recharge. That's where the progress lies. This is where device manufacturers have set their sights. The most advanced seems to be the recently released Samsung Galaxy S6. The latest phone in the Galaxy S range, according to the Korean brand, It can charge up to twice as fast as its direct competitor..

They say that with a charging time of approximately 10 minutes, you can enjoy the phone for four hours. This eliminates the need to wait for your phone to have enough battery to leave the house. The brand's flagship device features a charger that doesn't require any cables; simply place it on a platform and it will begin charging. Another new feature of the S6 is a battery-saving mode. This saving is achieved by reducing the phone's LEDs to just two colors, thus reducing consumption. A portable charger is also available.

Below we show you a video in which they explain all these new features in a simple and enjoyable way.

After its official presentation at the Mobile World Congress, today one of the companions of MovilZona has had the opportunity to check and show us on video how the integrated wireless charging and the system fast charge of the Samsung Galaxy Edge S6.

Wireless charging

It is one of the most notable features of this terminal and its flat screen version, the Galaxy S6, since it can be charged wirelessly, that is, without the need to connect any cables and just by leaving the device on top of the wireless charger. This charger is a kind of round platform When you place your phone on it, it lights up indicating that charging has started, and turns off when charging is complete or you remove the phone.

At that same time, on the terminal itself, you can also see how it indicates that the battery is charging, just like when you connect a mobile phone with a conventional charger. The charger that complies with the Qi standard It is capable of charging the S6 battery completely in a time of 3h and although there is still no official price for what it will cost, Samsung is giving away the accessory to all those who carry out the phone pre-reservations.

It should also be noted that this Qi standard Wireless charging is already quite widespread and can be found in establishments such as Starbucks Coffee or McDonald's and soon IKEA has already confirmed that it is going to release a line of tables that incorporate this type of chargers which also comply with the standard and from which phones that support wireless charging and Qi can be charged.

Fast charging and range management

Another important aspect of the Galaxy S6 in both versions is that it is possible to connect to the charger fast charge and that is capable of increase autonomy from the terminal battery in 4 hours of use with just a loading time of 10 minutes.

This feature of the new Galaxy S6 offers battery information and its management from the screen that can be seen by accessing Settings > Battery, from which you can see the load percentage that the battery has at that moment, and There that the terminal needs to be connected for its Full load among other options.

In addition, on that same screen you can find out the remaining battery life of the phone, but it is a time of autonomy”part"since both the processor and battery from the terminal they learn from use that the owner makes of his smartphone and the phone indicates its battery life based on that use that the terminal has learned and that is not based on a standard measure or calculation.

The Galaxy S6 combines fast full charging, charging options, Qi wireless charging, intelligent optimization, and thermal safety measures; with proper practices and a compatible charger, your battery life and standby times will improve significantly.
