Why Fast Charging Never Agreed on a Standard: USB PD, PPS, SuperVOOC and the Rest
The fast charging landscape is fragmented with competing standards like USB PD, PPS, and proprietary solutions such as SuperVOOC, leading to consumer confusion. While USB PD with PPS is emerging as a near-universal standard for phones, tablets, and laptops, it doesn't always unlock peak speeds for devices using proprietary technologies. Factors like device internal silicon, cable quality, and charging habits significantly impact charging speed and battery longevity more than the specific protocol used.
