DarlingYext, 24 Apr 2023"The only reason people expect higher charging wattage... moreI may have misspoken - I meant we pay a hefty price for foldables, so it's not unreasonable to expect higher charging speed.

    Imran6, 24 Apr 2023Lol tbh I don't mind 25W, but given the price tag a li... moreNot really, anything below 65W is too slow. Charging a phone for an hour or longer is just insane.

      stresy, 24 Apr 2023I hate these kind of news "will retain", BUT WHER... moreLook at articles about anything but Samsung and you'll find plenty of evolution.

        507AMS, 24 Apr 2023the only reason they keep the 25W charging speed is because... moreThey have their 45W charging already on some models and those phones never came with a 45W charger either.

          Imran6, 24 Apr 2023Lol tbh I don't mind 25W, but given the price tag a li... moreonce you charge a phone with nominal charge power above 65W you will never want to going back to 25W or 45W!!!!!!!

            I hate these kind of news "will retain", BUT WHERE IS EVOLUTION LEAP??????

              Akarius, 24 Apr 2023I agree. The only reason people expect higher charging watt... moreWRONG!!!! you can buy phones with 65W charge speed for less than $500USD.....

                sa11oum, 24 Apr 2023I don't even like Samsung but the amount of hate they ... moreLol tbh I don't mind 25W, but given the price tag a little bump in wattage would be nice. And anything above 45W is just pointless.

                  Akarius, 24 Apr 2023I agree. The only reason people expect higher charging watt... more"The only reason people expect higher charging wattage is the fact that you pay a hefty price for this type of device.."

                  Absolutely not, it's part of it yes, but not really the main reason as phones for 200 usd can charge with 33W, some even with 65W.

                  Apart from this I agree with you.

                    Samsung is just giving us the middle finger at this point

                      sa11oum, 24 Apr 2023I don't even like Samsung but the amount of hate they ... moreI agree. The only reason people expect higher charging wattage is the fact that you pay a hefty price for this type of device, so it's not unreasonable to expect to get some sort of better deal out of it, even if it meant shipping charger separately. For me personally, it's one of the reasons why I'm thinking if I should wait for Z Fold 5 (and after testing ZF4 for a week I loved it!) or just not bother buying such an expensive device and choose Moto Edge 40 Pro. Sure, I won't have the awesome screen transformation, but at the same time I'll have around 20 minutes charging time for the inevitable day blitz top up is required.
                      If Samsung FINALLY added some better charging (and maybe a built-in stylus), it would totally sway me their direction, no questions asked, alas have to ponder.

                        sa11oum, 24 Apr 2023I don't even like Samsung but the amount of hate they ... more...my wife got the iPhone 11 last year...in a regular day (emails, taking photos, using IM apps, Facebook, browsing the web, etc, etc.) the battery charge only last half day...I got for her and extra battery charger for emergency cases...now the emergency cases became a regular day for her....

                          When will Samsung learn? My Chinese phone from 5 years ago charges faster than their phones, would make their phones way more appealing if they adopted fast-charging.

                            507AMS, 24 Apr 2023...bigger the boxes less units can pack per ship container.... moreAgain, why does increasing the charging speed force them to include a charger?

                              As long as apple doesn't, Samsung doesn't tether it and I can bet the iPhone 15 won't boost fast charging either* they don't want to put the charger in the box which is a con

                                i mean what's the point of their 45w fake charging? other phones with 45w charge in 30 mins, samsung in over 1 hour

                                  sa11oum, 24 Apr 2023I don't see the relation. Samsung could increase the c... more...bigger the boxes less units can pack per ship container...it's simple!!!!!!
                                  ...increasing the 25W limit will force them to pack the charger and increase the box dimensions....

                                    I don't even like Samsung but the amount of hate they get for this blows my mind. I have an iPhone, and it also only charges at 25-27W. If I ever need to top up during the day, I plug it in while I go shower and use the restroom and it gains like 50% battery. Why would anyone need more than this, unless your device has REALLY BAD battery life...

                                      507AMS, 24 Apr 2023the only reason they keep the 25W charging speed is because... moreI don't see the relation. Samsung could increase the charging speed and still ship the devices without a charging brick, the two are not related...

                                        the only reason they keep the 25W charging speed is because any increase on the nominal charging power will require include the charger in the box and Samsung prefers pack more cellphones boxes in a container ship rather than give their customers an important and vital stuff.....
