Samsung’s Galaxy S25 series will bring several notable upgrades, but a few things remain unchanged. The company isn’t offering faster charging on any model. The base model remains on 25W charging, while the Plus and Ultra top out at 45W charging. Regulatory certifications have already confirmed this. However, Samsung has added a new charging profile to the new flagships.
Galaxy S25 series debuts more efficient 45W charging
For the past several years, Samsung flagships have been limited to 45W charging. The company has no intentions to upgrade to faster charging. A few days back, the Galaxy S25 Ultra appeared on a Chinese certification platform with 45W charging, unchanged from its predecessor. However, we spotted a new charging profile with 15V and 3A. The S24 Ultra supported up to 11V and 4.05A.
While both translate to 45W charging, the former has a technical advantage. Higher voltage reduces power loss in transmission/cable, potentially increasing the charging speed. Don’t expect a massive drop in the charging time, though. It should be a slight improvement if at all. The Galaxy S25+ will also support this more efficient charging profile, the same certification agency confirms.
Unfortunately, the base model is still left out. It doesn’t even get 45W charging. Samsung only offers 25W wired charging on the Galaxy S25, via 9V and 2.77A. You won’t get a charger in the box, no matter where you live. If you have been following the news, the upcoming Galaxy flagships keep the battery capacity unchanged too. It’s 4,000mAh for the base model, 4,900mAh for the Plus, and 5,000mAh for the Ultra.
This is still commendable as the company has made the new phones slimmer and more compact. Moreover, we might get battery life improvements thanks to the more efficient 3nm processor powering these phones. Samsung is also expected to introduce AI-powered power management features on the Galaxy S25 series. Stick around as we bring the latest information about the new Samsung flagships to you.
