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.

Rly, 21 Feb 2022Most pll still think Apple is most expensive, sadly not. If you said "some people" then fine. But considering your country is one of the smaller markets and its the larger markets where Apple is highly expensive, those "most people" are actually right.
Better statement would be like "people think Apple is the most expensive, but it does not apply everywhere".

    looks like gsmarena changed the article title, before this the title was "... 45w charging is a lie" 😂

      Except Xiaomi didn't get past 100W. It was 80W at best. For what they claimed it to be 120W... And unlike all the Chinese brands, Samsung actually has longevity to consider unlike disposable Chinese phones for which it doesn't matter if they are useless after 1 year.

        I'm glad I never fast charge. So I won't need to worry about it.

            It would have been nice if they also did a 15 min test to see if there are any short benefits of higher wattage.
            That would let us know if they restricted the speed via firmware.

              It's a LIE, Samsung lied to us!

                    Samsung's old 45w charger was like 3 years old. So, if they change the technology then who are we to complain !!
                    Secondly many brands are not compatible with 3rd party chargers at it's full speed.
                    Anything else to complain ??
                    GSMARENA said it to defend their future post. I bet there is a post coming when they say about it.

                      Rly, 21 Feb 2022Most pll still think Apple is most expensive, sadly not. No, most people know that Apple phones aren't the most expensive. People aren't that stupid. They have eyes to see the prices. They know that Apple phones are overpriced, though. Expensive and overpriced are two different things.

                        I could not decide between the s22 and the s22+, wanted the s22+ because of the faster charging but the s22 sits nicely in the hands. Thanks for solving my dilemma gsmA. No Samsung for me, who knows what else they lied about...

                          The S20 Ultra had the 45W charging first, it didn't make much of a difference there either.

                            I'm tired of people complaining over GSMArena's method for testing this.

                            1) Even if they used Samsung's old 45W charger, it's Samsung's old "45W" charger. If it doesn't charge at 45W that's still Samsung's fault.

                            2) GSMArena literally also used a 65W charger in their testing. It's literally right there, can you people not read? The result was literally less than a 5% speed improvement over the 25W charger. Y'know, not the 80% improvement you'd expect to see going from 25W to the marketed maximum of 45W.

                            And I can't believe GSMArena changed the title of this article from "Samsung Galaxy S22+ and S22 Ultra's 45W charging is a lie" to "Samsung Galaxy S22+ and S22 Ultra's 45W charging doesn't really make a difference" for presumably this reason.

                              Rudolf-Valentin, 21 Feb 2022Well saidSamsung trying to compete Apple for reaching the highest profit from the consumers..

                                Anonymous, 20 Feb 2022Price much lower than Apple? Price in here is pretty simila... moreSo it’s your bad luck.. in my country, which is by the way the biggest smartphone market, apple 13 pro max is much more expensive, and then if you consider the freebies, there’s no competition. With 4 years of support, samsung is THE best brand to buy. I mean, if you want android, then there is nothing which can match samsung right now.

                                    Jacksonzxop, 21 Feb 2022"Using three chargers - original Samsung 45W and 25W c... more"Original" may only imply that it is a genuine charger purchased from Samsung instead of a third party one. I admit that GSMArena still needs to clarify the model number of the charging brick they used for the test, though.

                                      AnonD-1026503, 21 Feb 2022Wasnt the point of not including a charger to use your old ... moreYeah but unfortunately they started to follow apple bs trend. So if Google, Apple, or Samsung are advertising faster chargers they won't put them in the box.

                                        Nick Tegrataker, 21 Feb 2022Could you quote the exact sentence from this article where ... more"Using three chargers - original Samsung 45W and 25W charger".

                                        Extra information:
                                        The older charger has a model of EP-T845 and the newer one is EP-T4510. The newer 45-watt charger supports super-fast charging 2.0 and throttles less than the older charger
