Samsung phones have long been slower to charge than nigh rival handsets, and information technology doesn't look like that is going to change with the Samsung Galaxy S22 range. In fact, if anything the gap could let out.

While smartphone makers like OnePlus and Xiaomi are pushing charging speeds of all time higher, Samsung power follow 25W for the entire Galaxy S22 range. That's the same cannonball along every bit the Samsung Galaxy S21 range and well-nig of the Samsung Galax urceolata S20 range – with the exception existence the Galaxy S20 Ultra, which actually supports quicker 45W charging.

We're basing this on a new certification listing from China's 3C agency, spotted past a user of Weibo (a Chinese social network) titled WhyLab. The listing includes the model numbers SM-S9080, SM-S9060, and SM-S9010, which are believed to belong to the trinity expected phones in the Galax S22 mountain chain, and for all tercet it lists 25W charging.

We would even so take this with a pinch of salt, as while the leaker supplied a screenshot of the listing, this could easily have been faked.

Plus, the list itself refers to Samsung's existing 25W charger, then it could simply embody saying that the phones are miscible with this, but non ruling come out of the closet the possibility that they likewise support faster charging when opposite with other charger.

Indeed, we've previously heard rumors that the Samsung Galaxy S22 Radical would support 45W charging, with an earlier leak suggesting the company was even exploring 65W charging. So we wouldn't count out higher speeds until no, but steady if the S22 Ultra can charge at more than 25W, information technology looks unlikely that the base Samsung Galaxy S22 will be able to.

Opinion: Samsung needs to speed up

If the Samsung Galaxy S22 kitchen stove very only supports 25W charging and so in 2022 that's just non good adequate, and even 45W wouldn't be great.

For equivalence, the OnePlus 9 supports 65W charging, the Xiaomi 11T In favor supports 120W charging, and Xiaomi is equal working on 200W charging. Oppo, Sony and others also own the latest Samsung phones beat for charging speeds.

Really the exclusive significant companies that don't are Apple and Google, cardinal whopping names that also deman to quicken. The iPhone 13 series features 20W charging, piece the Google Pixel 5 features 18W (just the Google Pixel 6 series May beat that).

Just they're not whol Samsung is competitive with, and given how much its Extragalactic nebula S phones cost, we expect fashionable engineering, not charging speeds that matte sedate individual years ago.
