Samsung Galaxy S22 could get the fast charging we’ve been waiting for
Samsung is not really the company to go to if you want the absolute fastest phone charging imaginable. But that might be about to change with the Samsung Galaxy S22.
According to reputed Samsung leaker Ice Universe (via MyFixGuide) the company is testing faster charging speeds for possible use with the S22. Apparently 25W, 45W and 65W charging are in the cards.
While companies like OnePlus or Huawei have been pushing the limits of what fast charging has to offer with upwards of 65W speeds, Samsung has not. In fact, it seems to have deliberately avoided offering faster than 25W speeds with its most recent devices.
As rare as it has been, Samsung has offered 45W charging in the past. The Galaxy Note 10 Plus and Galaxy S20 Ultra both offered 45W charging speeds as an optional accessory, only for Samsung to ditch it when the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra launched last year. The Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra maxed out at 25W as well.
Such speeds have only ever been offered on those two models, which were the most expensive of their respective ranges. Their cheaper counterparts were stuck with 25W. It’s not clear which S22 would get the faster speeds, though we can hope that the base-level S22 model can get in on that action.
