How to perform power-sharing tasks?
First Step – Wireless Charging:
Before the power-sharing, you need to quickly recharge your Galaxy S22, and follow the steps given below.
- Launch the Settings app, tap Battery, and device care → Battery → More battery settings, and then activate the feature you want.
- You can charge the battery more quickly while the device or its screen is turned off.
- If the wireless charger has an internal fan, the fan may produce noise during fast wireless charging.
- Add a routine to set the fast wireless charging feature to turn off automatically at the preset time using Bixby Routines.
- When the fast wireless charging feature turns off, the charger’s fan noise and the indicator light will be reduced.
- When you’re ready to perform a charging trick, here’s how to activate Wireless PowerShare and charge another device.
Second Step – Wireless Power Sharing:
First, confirm that the phone with PowerShare is charged at least 30%. Swipe down from the top of your screen with two fingers to open Quick Settings, and then tap on the Wireless PowerShare icon on S22. You may need to if it’s not there.
Next, place the PowerShare phone and a compatible device back to back. To stop charging, just separate the two devices from each other. The PowerShare feature will automatically turn off after 60 seconds when no other device is detected.
You can also charge your Galaxy phone as it charges another device also. Simply connect your phone to the charging cable that came with it while using PowerShare to wirelessly charge your second device.
Compatible Device:
Most Qi-compatible Samsung devices can be charged with Wireless PowerShare, but check out the full list of compatible devices just in case. The speed and power of the charge will vary by device.

Report: TSMC could make Exynos SoC for Samsung phones
Samsung may ink a deal with TSMC to produce Exynos SoC for Galaxy phones. As the Foundry Division facing a crisis, System LSI may fabricate Exynos using TSMC’s process. This way, Samsung will be able to ensure Exynos’ return.
According to Dealsite (via Jukanlosreve), Samsung could make Exynos SoC at TSMC. It remains to be seen which iteration of application processor the Taiwanese chip maker will produce for Samsung Galaxy phones.
TSMC’s 3nm process is a big hit. The company has major clients like Apple, MediaTek and Qualcomm. In the past, Samsung produced Snapdragon chips, but the flaws in Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 hurt it the most.
Currently, the situation is; that Samsung Foundry is unable to produce in-house Exynos chips. We’ve heard rumors of Samsung’s dream chip, which has now become a real dream. System LSI could collaborate with TSMC for contract production.
Dealsite report says:
So, I think there was a hope for about a year that they would really catch up with TSMC. But then their market share dropped sharply again, and recently, it barely exceeded 10%, and even internally, there were talks about “We’re going to make Exynos (Samsung’s mobile application processor) at TSMC.”
Samsung’s System LSI arm designs Exynos processors. The division naturally orders Samsung Foundry to proceed with mass production. The yield rate is not in Samsung’s favor, leading it to forget about production on a large scale.
The existence and growth of Exynos is necessary for Samsung. If there’s no alternative, the company will lose its negotiation power with suppliers. Hence, producing Exynos at TSMC isn’t a bad idea if it benefits the company and consumers.
Notably, Exynos 2500 has reportedly entered mass production, aiming to power the Galaxy Z Flip 7 next year. The Galaxy S25 series could exclusively use the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip – manufactured by TSMC at 3nm process technology.
