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.

      Don't insult yourself and think, high charging speed do NOT kill battery life. Thats why they use double cell, cooling systems, charge algorithms and charge speed downs when it reach +75%.
      Man please wake up. Battery tech evolved long time ago chargers and charging connectors too.
      Stop talking nonsense because its nonsense.

          Samsung stopped making flagship phones since S10. Started faking them instead.

            Makimaki, 20 Feb 2022How do u know they used charger from Note ?They didn't mention anywhere in the article which charger they used, so there's some clarification needed.

And 1200 days is roughly 3 and half year. In that time 90% people will sell their old phone and buy new one. So this really doesnt matter.
                Try to think a bit. And in any other case most battery replacements cost up to 30-40 euros which aint much if you do it once every 2 years or so.

                    I read that as GSMarena had difficulty getting the new 45W charger. They are not the only one though. Sammobile also had trouble securing the new charger for their charging comparison.

                      Realist, 20 Feb 2022I'm glad I canceled my preorder for the S22 Ultra. Eve... moreS22 Ultra has about 14,3% more battery than iphone max to power a larger screen (4.4%) that has 24,6% more pixels. It has more RAM, tons of unnecessary stuff that run in the background even when they should not (like own store, samsung pay etc) , less efficient CPU made with inferior fab process.

                      Obviously it would not last as much as the iphone.

                      Huge problem with android (I prefer android over iOS, but use both) is the fact it is always using more power for same tasks. It is bizarre that just by letting CPU-z open you see big cores being used.

                      Cores like A75, A76, A77, A78, X1 and X2 should only work when it is really necessary. Heavy tasks.

It's like "what have you done for me lately" and "I can never make my mind up". People do not understand what goes into making a processor and mobile phone, they just want a 200 dollar phone with 1200 dollar specs

                            Wow that's xiaomi/Oneplus antutu levels of lies. Embarrassing, Samsung!

                              GSMarena, the mistake you've made here, is that you've used the original 45W charger from the Note charging speed fiasco. There's a newer 45W charger dropping that doesn't have this problem - you failed to mention that important bit of information.

                                By the way replacement of battery on most phones cost up to 30 euros which aint big deal when you do it once every 2 years.

                                  Your 2,5W slow charger will charger your device for 8-12 hours to full. Thats a lot of electricity waste and calling for a big electricity bill for nothing.

                                    Samsung became a greedy in the race to cheat the customers even without charger in the box, w/o headphones and wrong info about 45w fast charging

                                      Samsung are a dirtbag company. They misled reviewers/influencers into believing the S22/22+ were LTPO when they aren't. Now they've blatantly lied about the charging capabilities of their newest phones. Add to the fact they've mocked Apple for years only to sheepishly copy them, and were also caught paying trolls to badmouth HTC, who would want to associate with this kind of company?

                                        blablameh, 20 Feb 2022Samsungs 45W charging is not a lie, but you need to test it... moreAre you saying then that their official 45W charging brick doesn't come with a compatible cable?

                                        Then that's even worse.
