Samsung Galaxy S22 series could miss a big charging speed upgrade after all

The phone may not have a faster charging speed than its predecessor after all.

What you need to know

A new regulatory certification has revealed the charging speed for Samsung's upcoming Galaxy S22 series.
The next-generation flagship smartphones could have a maximum charging speed of 25W.
Previous reports suggested that the Galaxy S22 phones would finally have an upgraded charging speed of 65W.

Samsung's upcoming flagship phone may not have a significant charging speed upgrade as previously rumored. A new certification filed with regulators in China claims that the Samsung Galaxy S22 series' battery will peak only at 25W.

Three models from the flagship series have received CCC certification, and documents obtained by WhyLab from Chinese regulators reveal a rather disappointing revelation about their charging capability. According to the screenshot below, the three Galaxy S22 series variants will only support 25W charging.

In addition, the devices may come with an optional travel charger labeled EP-TA800. It's the same charger that has been available for the best Samsung phones from a few years back.

The use of a 25W charger in the certification does not necessarily imply that the Galaxy S22 series will max out at that charging speed, as SamMobile pointed out. In order to obtain certification, the company typically uses standard chargers for its device. The charger used in this case may not accurately represent the phone's maximum charging speed.

Back in July, a new charging adapter with up to 65W charging for the tech giant's upcoming flagship series was spotted. The sighting offered some hope that Samsung might finally introduce an upgrade to the charging speed of its Galaxy S family of devices after years of sticking to 25W.

Some Chinese OEMs have already adopted blazingly fast charging speeds for their flagship phones, such as 120W charging on the Xiaomi 11T Pro and Nubia's RedMagic 6S Pro. It remains to be seen, however, whether the Galaxy S22 series will have faster charging speeds than its predecessor.

More posts by this contributor What Studying Students Teaches Us About Great Apps I’ll admit it: When it comes to food, I’m lazy. There are dozens of great dining options within a few blocks of my home, yet I still end up ordering food through delivery apps four or five times per week. With the growing coronavirus pandemic closing restaurants and consumers self-isolating, it is likely we will see a spike in food delivery much like the 20% jump China reported during the peak of its crisis. With the food delivery sector rocketing toward a projected $365 billion by the end of the decade, I’m clearly not the only one turning to delivery apps even before the pandemic hit. Thanks to technology (and VC funding) we can get a ri

Slack’s new integration deal with AWS could also be about tweaking Microsoft

Slack and Amazon announced a big integration late yesterday afternoon. As part of the deal, Slack will use Amazon Chime for its call feature, while reiterating its commitment to use AWS as its preferred cloud provider to run its infrastructure. At the same time, AWS has agreed to use Slack for internal communications. Make no mistake, this is a big deal as the SaaS communications tool increases its ties with AWS, but this agreement could also be about slighting Microsoft and its rival Teams product by making a deal with a cloud rival. In the past Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield has had choice words for Microsoft saying the Redmond technology giant sees his company as an “existential threat.” Whether that’s true or not — Teams is but one piece of a huge technology company — it’s impossible not to look at the deal in this context. Aligning more deeply with AWS sends a message to Microsoft, whose Azure infrastructure services compete with AWS. Butterfield didn’t say that of course
