Pause USB Power Delivery

February 11, 2023

The Samsung Galaxy S23 has an option called Pause USB Power Delivery - when it is turned on, power from the unit is supplied immediately to the smartphone, bypassing the battery. The option is useful for situations where the smartphone is used under load for a long time, for example, during games or as a navigator. It's also quite economical - with the setting turned on, the smartphone consumes only 6 watts versus 17 watts from the battery.
