Samsung charging speed

[Anuj-singh]

Why does Samsung support 25 and 45-watt charging in 2025, while other brands provide higher-watt chargers with their devices in the box ? I switched from a mid-range Android device that supports faster charging than the S23 FE. Why isn't Samsung working on improving the charging speed of its devices? Taking a whole hour and ten minutes to fully charge is a very long duration. In today's busy lifestyle, a person needs a fast-charging device that takes less time to fully charge.

● Check your charging cable (USB cable) for physical damage such as wear and tear, bent prongs etc. If it is damaged, then kindly visit your nearest service center to get it replaced.

● Kindly check the charger functionality with a different device or try to charge the same device with a different charger.

● Check charging: If rating is 15W or above: Kindly try to charge the device in a non-inverter socket.

● If you using normal socket: As a safety measure Fast charging may not support, while you are using the device hence, request you to keep the device idle and check the charging performance.

● Kindly check if ''Multiple applications'' are running in the background of the device.

● When running multiple applications, the processor processes more tasks and as a result, additional heat is released from the device. This happens with most electronic devices (even computers/laptops), including the devices of other manufacturers. Close all the background running apps when not using them.

● Avoid usage of mobile phones during charging. Usage of the mobile phone when charging may cause slow charging issues. So we recommend you avoid the usage of the mobile phone while charging.

I'm using genuine Samsung chargers purchased from the official Samsung store, but my concern is why Samsung didn't increase the charging speed in the new model because an hour to charge the device is too long.
