Charging speed is very important for many users. While some manufacturers such as Realme, Xiaomi or OnePlus offer mid-range phones that can charge 65W, companies such as Samsung and Apple are lagging behind in this regard, and last year’s Galaxy S21 series could only charge 25W.
Galaxy S22 + and Galaxy S22 Ultra in the charging test
Along with the release of the series Galaxy S22 we have larger models The Galaxy S22 + and Galaxy S22 Ultra have finally received 45W charging. Do you remember the release of the Galaxy Note10 series, which also had 45W charging, but Samsung gave up on it in the next Galaxy Note20 series? The reason was simple. The difference between 25W and 45W was negligible and saved you about 5 minutes of time when we talk about charging from 0 to 100%. Are you saying that the South Korean company had to learn from this mistake? Unfortunately, the opposite is true.
GSMAren’s website has put the Galaxy S22 + and Galaxy S22 Ultra phones into a charging test, and the result is quite worrying. A total of three chargers were tested – the original 25W from Samsung and the new 45W, and there was also a 65W charger with third-party Power Delivery technology, which offered approximately the same charging time as two from Samsung.
Samsung Galaxy S22 + 30 minutes of charging
- 25W Samsung charger – 62%
- Samsung 45W Charger – 64%
Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra 30 minutes charging
- 25W Samsung charger – 61%
- 45W Samsung charger – 60%
As you can see from the results, the charging speed is about the same speed with both Samsung chargers. But let’s not throw a shotgun into the rye and let’s take a look at the charging results from 0 to 100%.

Samsung Galaxy S22 + charging from 0 to 100%
- Samsung 25W charger – 1 hour, 2 minutes
- Samsung 45W charger – 1 hour, 1 minute
Samsung Galaxy S22 + charging from 0 to 100%
- 25W Samsung charger – 1 hour, 4 minutes
- Samsung 45W charger – 59 minutes
Unfortunately, it didn’t turn out better here either, and the claim that the new Samsungs are actually charging at 45 W is misleading. So if you are planning to buy a new adapter, you can still use the existing one. Basically, a more powerful 45W adapter will not offer you any advantages compared to 25W.
What do you say to the test results?
