Just want to understand the real difference between the two battery charge setting options.

Well, if you have Optimized Battery Charging enabled, the phone charges to 80% relatively quickly then very slowly to 100%.


No one can say whether or not one method is better than the other. I use Optimized Battery Charging because it is easier to use and the phone is at 100% at the start of each day. That makes it "best" for me.


If you have the time, you can find virtually any advice on the Internet about charging a phone. Each one will claim to be the best.


I saw one article earlier today that swore by charging the phone to 74% and never letting it go under 22%.


My opinion......way too many users are spending way too much time worrying about the battery. It's a battery. Replace it when it's down to 80% Maximum Capacity.
