Fast charging is fucking amazing!!

I just got the Pixel 7 Pro and this is the first "new" phone I've ever had. All my other phones have always been 3-5 year old hand me downs, I was finally in a position to be able to afford a nice one and damn I love it so much.

Whenever I see the words "charging rapidly" I get a huge burst of dopamine, and don't even get me started on the speed of the phone. Apps load so snappy quick, when I did a speedtest on 5g it was like 165mbps.

... Then today I found out the pixel 9 pro will be coming...
