    May mga brand and model na yung kasama charger eh mas mababa sa capability ng phone. Usually they have the faster charger available sa store din nila. Check mo sa gsmarena yung specs ng battery mo.

    Kaya naman i-limit ng phone ang charging kahit mas mataas ang gamit ba charger. It won't damage your phone.

    Cable also matters, pag hindi kaya ng cable yung watt ng charger mabagal pa rin pag charge mo. Pero usually yung stock cable na kasama ng phone eh enough na.

    AFAIK it shouldn't damage your phone.

    Best way I can describe this is your phone is pulling power from the charger, not that the charger is pushing power to the phone. Even if you get a USB-C-PD charger with 90W the phone will only draw as much as it can.

    Try installing accu battery app. It will show you the ampere you are charging the phone.
