Following the rising era of 5G, various OEMs bringing affordable smartphones with 5G network connectivity support. So far, Samsung launched the Galaxy A32 5G, Galaxy M42 5G, and Galaxy F52 5G (in China), but it looks like it has something more to show you in the near future.

The Galaxy A22 5G will be the company’s next 5G smartphone, which may be the most affordable 5G offering from the brand. Although the pricing of this device is yet to reveal, a new leak exposes what it will cost in the European market.

According to the latest information, a retailer’s website in Europe shows that the Galaxy A22 5G will be priced at €185, most probably for the 64GB memory variant. However, the retailer listing has not revealed any more information about the device such as design, and specifications.

It’s worth mentioning that the European retailer’s website mentioned the Galaxy A22 5G’s pricing without VAT, so it could be priced around €199 for the base variant. If this info comes true, then it will be the cheapest 5G phone from Samsung as the Galaxy A32 5G priced at €279.

Previously, it is reported that the Galaxy A22 5G will come with a quad rear camera setup, which consists of a 48MP main sensor, an 8MP ultrawide camera, a 2MP macro camera, and a 2MP depth sensor, plus a 13MP front camera for selfies.

Furthermore, it could be powered by MediaTek Dimensity 700 chip and come packed with a 5,000mAh battery and 15W fast charging. Lastly, Samsung has not yet officially disclosed this device, but it’s expected to be launched in H2 2021.

Apple iPhone 16

Apple iPhone 16 reportedly supports faster charging than the iPhone 15 series. The company never discloses charging support in watts on official product sites. Well, the iPhone 16 seemingly supports 39W fast charging, which is still less than the Galaxy S24 Ultra.

According to the info, Apple brought 39W charging support to the iPhone 16 series. Reports are circulating of 45W fast charging functionality. However, practical testing (via IceUniverse) indicates that the max charging speed is 39W.

CQC results suggest that the iPhone 16 features 45W wired charging. This is about 50% faster than the iPhone 15 series, which supports up to 29W charging. Meanwhile, the maximum support is 39W as tested by reliable industry sources.

Samsung continues to bring 45W charging support in select Galaxy devices. The Galaxy S24 Plus, S24 Ultra, and M55 are some of those. It’s not much higher than the 39W but shows Samsung is already ahead of Apple’s boosted charging function.

The newest S24 series is designed with convenience in mind and super fast charging is a key part. To ensure you can make the most of the S24’s rapid charging capability, there are some requirements for that such as compatible adapter and cable.

Packed with a 5000mAh battery, Samsung’s S24 Ultra typically takes around 78 minutes to fully charge from 0% using a 45W charger. Various factors can impact the charging speed and time to get the battery charged 100%.

Next year, Samsung will launch the Galaxy S25 Ultra. Early rumors indicate that there will be no charging upgrade in the Plus and Ultra models. Yet, we expect improvements in that particular aspect through artificial intelligence.
