Hey @Pineapple123 and @Jacopo_DWU3rYoQMw , I just ran my own tests to check if this is a real issue.
I was sitting in an air conditioned office at a cool 26 degrees Celsius while charging Phone (3). I used a Noise 65W charger paired with the official Nothing 5A cable to make sure there were absolutely no accessory bottlenecks.
Here are my results from the screenshots:
- Using the 65W port at 50 percent battery, the phone pulled just 14.79W. The battery temperature was perfectly fine at 34 degrees.
- I then switched to the lower 30W port, and it pulled almost the exact same speed at 14.94W.
This completely shuts down the argument from people saying that the ambient heat is causing this. My room is cool, the battery temperature is totally normal, and I am using the official 5A cable, yet the phone is still aggressively hard capped at 15W.
Before this, I used a Redmi Note 12 as secondary phone. That device easily pushed 55W charging speeds even in the middle of peak Indian summers, and it worked like butter for three solid years. A premium device should easily handle basic fast charging.
This is undeniably a software bug or a terrible thermal throttling design by Nothing. You guys are absolutely right to call this out. Let us keep pushing this real data until we get an actual fix, not just excuses!
