Samsung is finally bringing 45W charging to Galaxy A series

Samsung is known for not following the trend of ultra-fast charging speeds. For several years, the Korean company has equipped only a handful of its flagship models with 45W charging capabilities, while the majority of its Galaxy lineup comes with 25W charging.

This year appears to be a turning point, though. After the Galaxy M55/C55/F55 midranger came with 45W, now it is time for the Galaxy A series. First in line is the Galaxy A56, which was certified in China with support for 45W rates.

Samsung SM-A5660 (Galaxy A56) certification

The phone is still in the works and is highly unlikely to arrive before March 2025. Nevertheless, we already know the Samsung Galaxy A56 will have an improved selfie camera while keeping the same 50 MP main + 12 MP ultra-wide + 5 MP macro combination as its predecessor.

The midranger from the best-selling A-Fifties lineup will have a new chipset – Exynos 1580. The SoC was recently introduced with a three-cluster CPU (1x2.91 GHz Cortex-A720 + 3x2.6 GHz Cortex-A720 + 4x1.95 GHz Cortex-A520) and a new GPU based on AMD's RDNA 3 architecture. The Galaxy A56 will also launch with Android 15 out of the box and will have an 8 GB RAM option.

Lol that's exactly what I also thought about first. What a scam if to be true S25 will have 25W charging.

I think Samsung did something internally. Their 25W Super Fast charging, doesn't charge as quick now. Weird.

Not related to main topic of the post but it's cool they're bringing in E1580 instead of Snapdragon
