Are you charging using the same USB charging cable (different charging adapter)? If not, try changing/swapping cable first.

Any difference if you swap the cable? As in use tablet USB cable but with A7 charging adapter? I would do this first as it much cheaper to change cable than adapter.

Let me try to undersand this. You basically have the following 4 items:

A. Fast charging adapter (from A7)
B. Normal adapter (from tablet)
C. Micro USB cable (from A7)
D. Type C USB cable (from tablet)

You are using Fast Charging adapter (A) to charge both so:

A->C->Phone (no issue)
A->D->Tablet (slow)

But if you using Normal adapter (B) it is normal.

B->D->Tablet (no issue)

Is the above correct?

I see. I think maybe the adaptive fast charging adapter is fallback into 5V/1.67A causing longer charging time.

That mean fast charger did not auto use 5V 2A?

Just my guess only. Also note that 2A is the max current, actual could be lower than that.

I think, sometimes it could also be limitation of the device itself only capable of charging at a set amount of amps.

Older Apple iPhones are a clear example of this as far as I know.
