Hello Friends,

 

Let's talk about some exciting news about Samsung. So, let's get started..

Samsung’s Galaxy S20 device series has become the first to receive USB Certification for their support of the Programmable Power Supply (PPS) and USB Power Delivery (USB PD) 3.0 Standards. It means that the phones should have no problem working with third-party fast chargers, so long as they’re also certified and capable of providing the specific current and voltage required by the handset. The all new Samsung S20 and Samsung S20 Plus supports Fast charging of up to 25W, while the other Samsung S20 Ultra supports up to 45W.  Samsung Galaxy Note 10+  also technically supported USB PD3.0 and PPS, but it apparently didn’t receive a certification from the USB Implementers Forum.

 

USB PD 3.0 and PPS are a couple of new standards designed to allow phones to charge at faster speeds. For short, it’s not enough for a charger to just support the wattage that a phone requires, it also needs to be able to provide power at the right voltage and current. Then, both the charger and the handset need to be able to communicate the maximum they’re capable of, or else they’ll default to a lower charging rate.
