This doesn't make any sense at all.
So you let your friend use your charger. They get about 1.9A charging power. That's 1.9A per minute. It's still pretty good, but since their phone wasn't made by your phone's manufacturer, it gets a power nerf because of incompatible technology.
Whether or not this makes sense to you, it's the way things work in the real world.
Late to the party, but still..
In the real world you just buy an adapter, or a universal charger, which would cost you about $10. No reason why in a science fiction game that already takes many liberties absolutely no one has been able to figure out how to make one. You'd literally have to accept that many factions are perfectly capable of building capital ships, but they just can't figure out how not to burn out their snub guns. Or reverse engineer. Or jury rig. Or.. well you get the idea.
