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.

      [deleted post]Maybe Samsung should supply the correct charger and not give customers faulty chargers. I don't see anything wrong with using an official Samsung 45 watt charger for testing even if it's alleged to be faulty. Why should they give more money to Samsung to buy a new charger? Wasn't the point of the whole no charger in the box thing so people can use their old chargers?

          sometime the brand of the charger matters.
          When i used 33W Anker power brick, my Mi 10 full-charged in about 1 hour.
          if i used 33W xiaomi original power brick, its full-charged in 35 minutes.
          If i used 65W GaN charger from Baseus, it took about 40 minutes.

          check the spec of the cable too, is it 2A, 3A, 4A, or 5A?
          The cable of 4A and 5A are rare and very fast, and suitable only with 65W-120W power brick.

                            Doesnt makes sense.
                            And 800 cycles and loosing 20% is fine.
                            800 cycles is like 1200 days thus 3 and half year thats better than fine.
                            I dont mislead people i am not like you who said he charge his phone every evening and morning thus twice a day. Get a sleep sometimes its way better.

The 80 percent is a bold claim, considering the amounts of wattage that goes into the phones to charge it under twenty minutes even while the phone being used. Actual figure can be around 70 to 80 under the type of conditions

                                Also, gamers can easily charge their phones a few times a day so for them that 800 cycle figure arrives a lot faster than most other people. They can burn up the battery in months lol

                                    Looking to buy a used phone,a Samsung, Galaxy S9, good condition and is unlocked, in need asap, I'm in the Salinas, seaside está area

                                      Misleading stuff just like the advertised price of the free buds when you pre-order: €229,-
                                      The buds pro here in holland can be had for 99 euro's in the stores!
                                      So the present is not worth 230 euros but 100 euro's.
                                      Good luck Samsung if you think we are stupid enough to be mislead this way.

                                        Heeeeey GSMArena team, could you clarify if this test was done with either the old Note10+/S20 charger or the 2022 charger? And if it was done with 'ultra fast charging' enabled in the battery settings? So we can settle if either this test is legit or this article is the one lying to everyone? Thanks!
