"Extensive manual reading" Really? Two seconds of skimming is extensive reading to this guy?
Maybe I'm the exception here, but this thing reads to me like a long list of non-issues. I specifically don't want my phone fast charging. It's bad for the battery. I'll slow charge overnight. People having to keep track of multiple cables is a result of them trying to save $2 and buying the cheapest possible cables. Buy good cables with the highest data transfer speed you will require and forget about it. They are all backwards compatible.
The point of USB-C wasn't to make everything compatible with everything always, the point was to get rid of proprietary connectors, and unify the 4 different USB connector types commonly in use.

Tbf, you sometimes want 240W. For example for laptops, powering screens via USB-C for DP over TB, and combining all this for USB-C in on a Docking Station, two DP out with power and charging the laptop.

Useless drama in the article.
Yeah, cheap cable and cheap charger won't provide 35 watts of power. However that cheap 24-pin Type-C cable costs the same as 5-pin Micro-USB cable did in 2010, and you can use your old Type-A charger with it, so you'll getting your 5 volts 2 amperes everywhere, and did I mention that the connector is reversible? -

Every charger I have lying around charges every device I have lying around. I'm happy with that.

The state of Android journalism. Nothing but engagement-bait like this, and "exclusive scoops" of unreleased features that never see the light of day.

I've saved seconds. Maybe even minutes.
