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.

        Samsung telling porky pies about their devices.?, nah, I don't believe it...
        If you cannot get by without ultra fast charging as a necessity, I'd look at yer lifestyle..
        There are such things as power packs..

          Samsungs 45W charging is not a lie, but you need to test it with the new Samsung 45W charger with special/thicker cabel, that allows to charge with 45W. older and thinner cable allows only 25W charging.

            George399, 20 Feb 2022There a lot of ignorant people thinking charging speed will... moreSome of those people saying fast charging kill battery faster because Samsung has a slower charging speed. I bet they will worship fast charging if Samsung has charging as fast as some of the Chinese. Even in this comment thread you can see the Samsung fanboys coping hard.

              George399, 20 Feb 2022There a lot of ignorant people thinking charging speed will... moreyou guys are Blind, Even Xioami themselves said their new Charging tech lose 20% of battery health after 800 cycle, then Blind Fanboys like you think otherwise. There is a reason Some wireless chargers come with Fan Nowadays. Heat kill batteries its that simple.

                    Btw, with this oven called snapdragon 8 Gen 1 the battery will suffer anyway. But is not because the charging speed.

                        thefulltruth, 20 Feb 2022who cares of 2930240W charging if in time the battery will ... moreA new account? Funny, new accounts always popping up like mushrooms after rain when its time to defend Samsung.

                          There a lot of ignorant people thinking charging speed will kill battery life. Let me guess, because mrs.whosetheboss or another "reviewer" said it?
                          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%.

                            I am sure that you guys used the old 45w charger, and not the new model which fixes the throttling issue that they had in the past. The model EP-T4510 is the on you should be using. Plus you get a 1.8m cable instead of 1m, and going by the picture, that is not 1.8m.

                                  Maybe you guys from GSMArena forgot to switch on 'ultra fast charging' in the phone battery settings?
                                  Or, as someone else already mentioned, you maybe used the old 45W charger and not the 'new' one, if there exists something like a new one, I don't know.

                                  If you look at the official Samsung promo material for the new Galaxy S8 tablets, there is written the following:

                                  'time to full charge:'

                                  Tab S8 Ultra:
                                  45W 82 min
                                  25W 117 min
                                  15W 189 min

                                  Tab S8+:
                                  45W 82 min
                                  25W 114 min
                                  15W 168 min

                                  Tab S8:
                                  45W 80 min
                                  25W 91 min
                                  15W 141 min

                                    P C M, 20 Feb 2022Phonearena's test did just fine. Sammobile's comparison between the 25W and 45W charger closely matched GSMarena's result.
