It’s all about the heat. It’s not dumping 120w non stop even over 90% for example. OnePlus also use supervooc not standard usb pd. My phone legit does 150w max and while I mostly use my 80w charger because my tablet uses that I can’t say my battery seems affected much 2,5 years in.
2.5 years isn’t that long to evaluate battery degradation IMO, and as you said, you mostly don’t even push your battery that hard. And the article even seems to imply that faster charging does impact battery life, it’s just that manufacturers consider 100w a sweet-spot between charging speed and battery degradation.
I saw list item 1 more as “I want my phone to last for 5+ years, so I will want to replace my battery eventually”, rather than “I wanna wreck my battery fast, so it better be replaceable”. Being wasteful with your battery like that goes against the spirit of Fairphone, IMO.
Why do you need 120 watts charging for a phone? Most laptops don’t even support 100w.
Ultra fast charging is so good though. I’ve got a oneplus 12 and it charges from 0-100 in like 30 minutes.
Surely, that impacts the battery longevity, right? Personally, I disable all fast-charging features and charge my phone overnight.
P.S. Sorry for calling you Shirley.

If it’s removable you can much more easily recycle it though. Sustainably that is much much better than average phones.
However, while more sustainable than current it is not the most sustainable if you charge it like that
