Charging Issues in Samsung

[Rajkiran082]

My recently(4 days) bought S25 Ultra and Watch 8 Classic has been very annoying with their charging speeds. They randomly switches to slow charging without any app running or any other processes. This same problem present in both Phone and watch is really weird to notice. Samsung needs to work on this really quick. However the battery life is also very mediocre compared to the competition. 7 Hours of Screen time with light usage.
