Samsung Galaxy S22 charging test suggests 45W input doesn’t seem to satisfy
Samsung Galaxy S22 series comes with two different types of chargers, a 25-watt adapter for the base S22 model and 45 watts for the S22+ and S22 Ultra. However, testing with both adapters indicates that they do not really differ in total charging time.
According to the test, comparing the time it takes to reach full charge with all the models in the S22 line, it is clear that spending extra money on a 45W adapter is a complete dropping, as all the devices take the same time as shown in the tests.
The tests show that it takes almost an hour for all Galaxy S22 models to reach full charge, regardless of which adapter is used. This is disappointing news as Samsung had similar power adapter issues with the previous Galaxy smartphone.
The company reconsidered its marketing strategy for charging with the S20, so fans expected the 45W chargers on the S22 line to be a sign of progress. Fast-charging mobile power adapters have been in high demand for years as companies continue to improve technology and significantly reduce charging time.
Samsung has lagged behind other major tech companies for many years now, with companies like Xiaomi already having 120W chargers, so the introduction of the 22W adapter into the Galaxy S22 marketing seemed a promising breakthrough.
This is especially frustrating when the charge times of older Samsung devices are essentially the same as those of the S22, which means there aren’t enough battery upgrades on recent models. Obviously, there are other areas where the S22 line illuminates, but fast charging is not one of them.
