- With a battery capacity of 5000mAh you expect a phone that is very powerful and that just means you can have more hours added to the fun you have with the phone. The 15W charging is not considerably fast but since you get a very efficient power consuming phone, you don’t have to worry about that. Well, Samsung suggests that fast charging is likely to destroy the power holding capacity of the battery hence opts out for slow charging. I guess that’s a plus.
