Samsung should sell their high priced products in South Korea only.

    you have to suffer, 26 Apr 2024charging through pc is not a good idea. i've burnt fe... moreWeird, never heard of such problem. Must be faulty/cheap PSU?

      "" Hopefully the price will come down in time. ""

      in time? It will come down any instant now... after the die hard fans are looted, and no one buys it anymore.
      Remember how S23 FE got discounted to 450 Euro within weeks of launch?

      45W charging is not on every Samsung, its on premium ones. Samsung assumes a premium customer will pay anyways.
      Considering that many Samsung fans accepted removal of microSD and 3.5mm slots, at least some of them are gulliable, naive people, so this charger will sell some units, then it will stop selling.

      You see, a customer talks with wallet, the only language companies understand nowadays.

        Don't buy original chargers and cables! You're just wasting your money for nothing.

        I own a Samsung, but i would never pay 70€ for a charger. I payed 25-30€ for a 50W charger and it works the same as the Samsung one would.

        Just Google "50W charger" and you'll find plenty that are not even 50% of the price. Just check that it has the same specs and you're good.

          A couple years ago, I bought two 20W charging bricks (with 2x USB C to C cables included) with the same "super fast charging" branding and it was marketed as a charger for Galaxy S22, Pixel, etc. The price was $18.

            47cosmos, 25 Apr 2024Samsung removed the charger and screen film, and is selling... moreremoving the charging cable is just the bare unit. just like buying repackaged used phones.

              PetrovBG, 26 Apr 2024For slow charging i just use my PC.charging through pc is not a good idea.
              i've burnt few microusb cables for charging my phone though my pc. the connector is cooked as well 😂😂
              it's probably my fault from plugging it into the back panel instead of front panel.

I have a vpn on and use brave so never had unsecure warnings (web browser pops up warning messages if the site diesnt use certain protocols etc and will stop me loading a completely unsafe site, the vpn and also avast in the background aswell, just in case). Your web browser could just be giving you a false positive (it thinks something is wrong when its parameters are off)

                      Sammy needs a check up from the neck up..not interested in buying your charger as you have charged to much 🤔

                                      There are already test done over 2 years that neither fast charging nor 20-80% charging has significant improvement to the battery life.
