The new information about the charging speed of the Galaxy S23 once again highlights the few changes that Samsung’s next high-end smartphones could benefit from.
Expected for the beginning of the year 2023, the Galaxy S23 have been talking about them for a few weeks, but not necessarily in a positive way. A new element around the charging speed of the “classic” model could well disappoint fans of the Korean brand’s products.
” Nothing has changed “
that’s what it says ice Universe, one of the filters the most recognized as far as Samsung products are concerned, on the Galaxy S23 and S23+. in his tweetHe especially wanted to express his disappointment at the information currently available to him. ice universe he was right many times, but he was also wrong a few times. The information shared here is not at all official, as it should always be taken with caution.
The “fed up” of filter comes from a document from the Chinese regulatory agency 3C. The latter indicates that a device with model number SM-9180, known as the Galaxy S23, is being tested with a 25W charger. is palmost the slowest charging in the mobile phone industry “, specifies.

This charging speed has been around since the Galaxy S10 was launched five years ago. On the Galaxy S22, 25W charging can recharge the 3,700mAh battery by 50% in 25 minutes. It takes 1h10 for a full recharge according to our 01Lab data. It is very slow compared to some competitors in the same price category that can be fully charged in 20-30 minutes.
Lazy updates for the Galaxy S23?
Like the Galaxy S22, the S23 could make do with 25W “fast” charging. ice universe Also think that the Galaxy S23+ and S23 Ultra should enjoy the same charging speed as their predecessors, specifically 45W. Also note that we’re talking about compatibility here, but Samsung no longer provides a charger in the box with its smartphones.
A few weeks ago, this same leaker mentioned the almost identical design of the Galaxy S23 Ultra compared to the S22 Ultra. We previously learned that the Ultra model’s battery capacity might not scale. In fact, Samsung would rely on hardware and software optimization to improve the autonomy of your smartphone.
The main change the Galaxy S23 should benefit from would be the chip that powers the phones. The future Snapdragon 8 Gen2 should be widely represented, but the Samsung Exynos chips have not said their last wordwhich scares some fans of the brand.
The most significant changes are perhaps to be expected on the photo side. The Galaxy S23 and S23+ could finally stop recycling the same selfie camera moduleand the Ultra model could benefit from a new 200 megapixel module.
Thus, Samsung would follow a strategy similar to that of Apple, which has kept its best news for the “Pro” models of its iPhone 14. This would be a way for the Korean brand to encourage consumers to choose the “Ultra” model. the most expensive.
