In fact, to comfortably carry their devices with them, manufacturers cannot push too much on amperage and given the hardware they are going to power, too often it is reduced to just under a day of use, thus quickly exhausting the various charge cycles that the battery is intended for for that type of smartphone.
And the owners of OnePlus well know that they find themselves in the hands of a decidedly fascinating smartphone due to the high refresh rate of the screen, but this drastically reduces the battery life and relative longevity.
