    Before using OP 2 i would have said quick charge.
    But not now.

    The reversible Type C kind off spoiled me.:p

    You do realize that there is absolutely NOTHING that would have stopped OP from implementing USB Type-C AND quick charge?

    The problem is when I travel to some place I have to make sure I carry the cable with me, not the case with micro-USB.

    This gives users unnecessary anxiety.

    USB-C maybe a thing for the future, but we live in the present and in the present we can hardly find an extra USB-C cable, say for example I am going to my friends home and I want to recharge, not possible because I don't have a USB-C cable.

    One more thing, USB-C is not on its full glory in OPT, it lacks quick charging + USB 3.1 speed.
    Its just a USB 2.0 with a USB-C physical shape.

    Definitely quick charging.

    And considering the USB-C isn't actually USB-C, it's just USB2.0 with USB-C type connector. So no advantages from USB-C, since it isn't it.

    They messed up with the type c connecter, no usb3 or fast charge makes it pointless.

    Mine charged from zero to 100% in a little over 2 hours today, which I thought was pretty good. I also got the adapter, which is tiny and fits nicely in a wallet/purse, so no issues about having to remember to take the cable either as it makes any micro USB cable usable. Although I have always taken a cable when I've been staying overnight anywhere anyway - I don't assume friends will have spares to lend out.

    It's no longer true that charging overnight overcharges the battery. Smartphone batteries are also pretty smart. ;) You can also do partial charges without using up a whole charge cycle - say you plug in at 90% and charge to 100%, you'll only use 1/10th of a charge cycle.

    Quick charge is where it's at. If they really wanted to be so cutting edge w usb type c they should have at lesser included wireless charging. Having both on a spec sheet wouldn't have caused such an uproar by the techies. C only was a mistake for sure.

    I don't care much for turbo cause I'm never use the entire battery by the end of the day so I just charge over night. USB C on the other hand is nice but all it really does is prevents annoyances being 2 sided and all.
