Samsung Galaxy S22+ and S22 Ultra's 45W charging doesn't really make a difference

20 February 2022
Samsung is so far behind the competition when it comes to charging speeds it can barely see it in the distance.

Anonymous, 20 Feb 2022You need to specifically use the new 45W adapter (EP-T4510)... moreYeah people used "old" charger with 3A cables and it charges about 30W.

But difference in chargers with same 5A cable is minor. 3%.

    Olympus Oms, 20 Feb 2022Only a naive fool would be expecting better from Samsung. Battery on S23 ultra is hotter with 45W charger than 25W.

    They dont need one more note 7 right?

      plain 45W PD3 is not the same as Samsung 2.0a protocol.

      Review does not disclose protocols involved

        Try running a bench mark/something demanding while charging. I agree it appears the specs are a lie. If the phone can still charge in an hr while running a game there may be some advantage to the extra power.

                Samsung seems to never learn or too much left behind with charging speeds... its 45w charging reduced to 29w within inital 10 mins hence we dont see a diff bw 25w or 45 w charger

                  That's why I bought 35W charger, it has Type C and A both. 2 minutes of difference in charging my S22 Ultra.

                    I have the 25 watt charger, for S22 Ultra, it is very fast and honestly you win 4 - 5 minutes between the 25 watt and the Old 45 Watts charger. Basically the GaN EP-T4510. Not worth it. However, there is the thought of future proofing, the only reason to buy the EP-T4510. If you ask me, i will keep charging with my 25 watts and not care about this charger conundrum.

Followed his experiment, the S22 series are reduced the charging speed if the temperature is higher than 37°C~38°C or turn on the screen. Besides, the S22 reduces its charging speed to under 2W during playing games!

                          Not sure how you're getting 1 hour charge time at 25W or 65W non PPS. Unless I'm using a 45W+ PPS (phone displays super charging 2.0) it takes 90 minutes to full charge.

                                  Can you please try the test once again when the phones are a available to the general public and maybe have had a software update? Maybe add a line to this post mentioning if anything changes or not.

                                    How about a 5min or 15min charge?
                                    There's a time we just want to get as much battery as possible in the shortest amount of time.

                                        Huawei's 66W charging speed and Samsung 25W charging speed are same.
                                        Here is the proof.
