This is why you shouldn't buy a cheap charger
A guy bought a cheap Rs. 600 (~8$) charger of 45W from some local random brand for fast charging his Honor 200 device since the original Honor charger costs 40$.
He mentions that "It's not too fast but gets the job done. Takes about 1hr 30min for a full charge the device's 5200mAh battery". And to his surprise, that cheap charger had "clay" inside the charger instead of actual electronic components for fast charging.
Cheap brands uses clay to increase weight of charger while a good branded charger has safety features for protection from heating. And later one, you hear about smartphone blasted while it was charging. People will spend 300$ for a smartphone but cannot spend 15$ for a branded charger is "funny".

Now I understood why Xiaomi copied iPhone 16 Pro Max wallpapers for Xiaomi 15S Pro, because this is what they made for Xiaomi Civi 5 Pro wallpaper with their creativity. Is it really too much to ask for good wallpapers from OEMs 😭
