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

There's just no reason not to. When I get up I don't want to wait to charge my phone or be sure to keep in mind that I need to allow 15m to charge.
Of course the option to fast charge should be there (and they could just use one of the higher amp pd modes instead of creating a proprietary standard but then they couldn't charge $40 for the charger & $20 for the cable).

This doesn't sound right. Was this test carried out with "Super Fast Charging" switched on?
There is a settings in the battery menu to turn on "Super Fast Charging". If it wasn't turned on the phone would charge using "Fast Charging" which is what came by default with the phone.
I'm guessing that is why gsmarena is getting this result. I stand to be corrected though but I don't want to believe a 25W charger would charge at the same rate as a 45W charger. I use a Note 20 Ultra and the charging times are far apart when I use a 25W charger vs 45W

Nowadays most phones (even the cheapest ones) have minimum 18W fast charging. Unless the battery is super large (more than 5000mah), they charge in about 90 minutes. Phones with 30W chargers even less, 50 minutes. Not to mention, until 85-90% is 30 minutes maximum.
My point is, I doubt that people nowadays still use charging over night technique.

They charge their phones when they get to home and unplug it when the battery is full. Your assumption that the last thing people do before they go to bed is charging their phones is weird. Maybe they do that occasionally, but not every night.

Quick charging times eliminate any planning involved with respect to charging the phone - the quicker the better.

Do you think normies even know what charge cycles are and what's battery wear and how it happens? Only thing they know is that batteries get "bad" over time. And that's all they know.

WOW! Did not expect this from Samsung. What a disappointment! They have broken my trust. First their fake 1 Hz screen and now their fake 45W charger. I was going to buy a S22 Ultra this year but I am going to get a Xiaomi or Realme flagship killer now or maybe even Asus ROG!

I don't have a problem with the Charging speeds the devices can reach. Slower (relatively, this is still faster than what phones could do) is better for the long term health of your battery.
What I do have a problem with, false marketing. And just like with the Display refresh rate, What they actually do isnt bad, but what you claim they do and then can't back it up is here the problem lies

Hemedans, 20 Feb 2022What setting in LG G8x if you don't mind to shareIn Settings/ Battery, you get an option "Optimised Charging".
Switching it off grants you a little quicker charging, from 2 hours 15 minutes to 2 hours, or so...
I know its not much but I never tried a proper fast charger, although internet says you can't gain much of a time anyways, probably some software limitation.

You blind fanboys needs to accept the truth :
A 45W Samsung charger is a 45W Samsung charger. There's no tangible difference between the new and the earlier brick. Same applies to the cable.
Don't you guys realise that if they don't put a charger in the box it's because they assume you might already own their original 45W charger. In case you don't, there's a new release available, but it's the same brick. Samsung's own USB-C to C cable is the same as well and both old and new cables are fully compatible with 45W charging.
So yeah, Samsung's 45W charging is a PR stunt and IS slow AF for a 2022 flagship.
Don't expect any battery top-up on the go when you only have 10 minutes to charge your phone before leaving the house.
This and the sketchy LTPO refresh rates & complete garbage AMD GPU, makes for a pretty poor Galaxy S release this year.

Why would you charge it overnight? Most people don't use their phones until they die, so it will take less than one hour to charge their phones to 100%. I wonder why you think that most people charge their phones overnight.
