Just like previously speculated.

Few years ago when BBK introduced 30W charging, they were complaining about the same (that it'll damage the battery). Now that their favourite brand has finally able to catch up to what BBK introduced 3-4 years ago, they are again saying that 100W will damage the battery. A decade later when these brands will introduce 100W charging, their complain would also continue.
Actually, their favourite brand is stagnant and is losing the battle of innovation because of this fanboyism only.

        Oh yes, you are absolutely right

        "The last we heard is that Samsung is testing 65W support in the Galaxy S22 family of devices, which is expected in early 2022."

          The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3 5G will come with the Adaptive Fast Charge adapter in the box (EP-TA200). This charger has been included with Galaxy S smartphones for years and produces a maximum current of 15W "(9V at 1.67A)". This is the same charger that was included with the Galaxy Z Flip.

          3300 mAh, between 1.67A, results in a clean 1.9h of charge, not counting the power loss, so it would give about 2.3 hours, oh no, but wait, when it approaches 90% the charge slows down so it is more, but of course, if you have to go out and your phone is discharged, you only have to put it to charge for 2 hours and a half, and it is ready "Quick"

            Right, people go crazy like they can only charge it at that speed, just grab a slower charger, but don't drag us all to a miserable charge just because you're not going to use it.

                Exynos midrange trash throttling heat machine and 15watt
                For more than 1200€
                Even the iPhone 12 is just 750€
                Instead of criticizing apple ,criticize Samsung for scams and for 500€ more than apple devices
                At least apple has the A bionic and not a midrange trash soc (after throttling when playing a heavy game)
                Also it doesn't cheapen on build quality like cheap plastic back ,even Chinese companies makes much more premium phones
                Even flagship killers and midranges have much better build and soc and stereo speakers and same 120hz oled display and SD 870 wich is better than exynos for 1/3 the price
                Apple also has faster charging than Samsung
                I will not pay +1000€ in a Samsung device with low end 150 dollars build materials and 250 euro soc and 120 euro charging speed
                Apple is a better bang for the bank and it doesn't scam ,it gives the same soc to everyone ,it's not racist and respect equality unlike scamsung

                    Anonymous, 24 Jul 2021You didn't read the review.You are right, I didn't, because I usually watch videos, but my opinion is still the same. 15 W is old-school, even if the battery is not a huge one.

                        At least, you have an option to charge Chinese ones at faster rate.

                        Moreover, Xiaomi recently showcased its battery life (longevity) which was way above industry standards and can be charged via 100W brick

                          People who will buy these 2 phones are special breed! Nothing interesting. Just because they flip or flop means nothing. The specs are not worthy of real flagships

                              Samsung's solution is the same as Apple and Sony and they are all companies that care about the longevity and health of the battery, the Chinese fast recharging damages the battery me 18 watt or 25 watt that is enough for me, I prefer to keep my smartphone healthy longer

                                I'll gladly take 15-25 and have my battery last longer vs 65 and up that kills the battery faster. My opinion, not worth it. Yeah your phone charges full in 10 to 15 minutes but the battery wont be good down the line. The battery tech currently available aren't meant for these super high speeds.

                                  I seriously cant see what's the issue with 15W. That was fast charging not too long ago, and sure as hell no one needs 160W fast charging in their phones, unless you are an idiot wanting a fire to start on your home

                                      This guy Ice universe is crazy defending apple is using 25 w charge in iphones 13 series
                                      It's shame that apple is using just 25 w in 1K USD smartphone
                                      When apple fall in future all will say it's tim cook strategy that screwed up apple

                                        I really didn't expect anyone to defend this almost reaching 2022, but the way brands have brainwashed is brutal, it should even be scary to what extent they manipulate their customers

                                        But I hope to see everyone complaining about fast charging in the S22 section when it launches with 65W, or they will magically forget everything as always?
