    Aren’t everyone apart from OnePlus basing their fast charging on USB PD nowadays? At least Apple, Samsung and Google phones can fast charge with USB PD. There is usually no need for a proprietary charger anymore.

      May companies like Realme still use Vooc charging and have not switched to USB PD. I think it’s the case with majority of Chinese OEMs.

      A similar case is seen in wireless tech where Qi or Qi2(which currently only HMD supports) isn’t the base standard for Chinese OEMs since their propreitary solutions can sometimes wirelessly charge as high as 50W in some cases.

        The situation may be worse than I’ve been exposed to, due to the phone brands we have in our house.

        I still think it’s better for the environment to not ship a charger with every phone, even if you cannot assume that everything is USB PD nowadays.
