Xperia XA & UCH12

Hi guys,

just after i bought UCH12 for my XA i started testing. 3 runs: 40-100 of battery on UCH12 phone was on, 0-100 UCH12 phone off, and 0-100 on std charger supplied with phone in off state. I got latest update of XA, phone is new - 1,5 week. I've built excel charts of time - bat percentege characteristics and i must say, that i'm dissapointed. like very. around 45$ for nothing. Sony states that only quick charger for XA (i  believe in that, couldn't found any replacement) is UCH12. In shortcut - UCH12 is better than standard XA charger ONLY under 45% of battery level! Nah, even WORSE for the rest of 55%... which are actually most used one in normal daytime operations. Just take a look on those charts and you'll understand. I don't really know if the software is messed up or this whole quick charging for XA is just another marketing trick. Sony branded quick charger for more than 45$ that is worse than supplied in package charger. That is a joke, right?

I have forwarded it internally for investigation, but I'm afraid I have yet to receive reply. I promise you'll be the first to know once I get informed! Thank you for your patience.

Hey everyone, I have received some information regarding this. 

You may perceive that the battery of your Xperia™ XA does not charge faster when using a quick charger than when using a standard charger. Xperia™ XA does support quick charging, but it can only be guaranteed when using Sonys designated Quick Charger UCH12. By using Quick Charger UCH12, the charging is estimated to be around 20% faster. The quick charging speed gain may vary between different devices.

...20 % faster up to ~45% of battery capacity, then it is slower than in-box charger. That means - dont buy UCH12 for XA - it is simply useless - i believe that most of the users start charging their phones at around 30-40%. Waste of money and shamefull advetising of the features. Thanks Emir for Your help.
