I paid $1K+ for mine and I don't care that it only charges at 25W since I don't need more... but yeah I mean if it had the option maybe it would make me feel better about my purchase kinda even though I'd never use it lol

I guess this is a fundamental difference between Apple and the Android manufacturers - Apple will prioritize how things perform in practice, not in theory.

          No they wouldn't be, sadly most people buy phones because of their brand, so basically Samsung and Apple, and they know this, so they don't have to innovate, but they can still charge more and thus gain more profit.

              Am I against faster charging? Of course not. It's a nice option to have, but it's not a necessity to the average consumer.

                Looks like samsung is not one faking speed here.

                  70 w chargers or higher are not agreed(decreasing battery life and overheating)
                  But it's funny paying 1800$ product with 25 w charger!(while you use 45w technology in other products)

                      Anonymous, 24 Apr 2023So foldable are already hit its limits in just 5 generations ..Well yes, Samsung foldables did. Look at the vivo X Fold 2 with 120W charging and much better cameras than Samsung, or the Huawei Mate X3 with even better cameras, very slim profile, basically no crease and water resistance.

                        507AMS, 24 Apr 2023Brands with foldable phones and their nominal charge speed:... moreTo be fair, taking the charging time into consideration (not really just the speed itself), Samsung with its 25W charger is already performing better than the Motorola's 30W on a smaller battery size.
                        Further more, if we take endurances, Samsung's latest foldables have an upper hands. The Z Fold4 with a small-ish battery performance better than others with 4500/5000mAh, while the Z Flip4 is already pretty alright when just falling behind the N2 Flip and much better than the Razr.
                        So I think, while charging speed isn't high by any mean, it's also not really fair to say that they are not delivering what people need.

In the US, if you want a phone that can actually FAST charge, OnePlus is the only option

                              Samsung is the only competitor in this space, did people really think they'd innovate? Sure there will be nominal changes but unless a major competitor shakes things up (looking at you Moto, Oppo and Vivo 👀), Samsung would be fine with just iterative upgrades which is exactly how they treat their flagship S series anyways.

                                      why not deliver what consumers want and need???
