Smartphone charging speeds have come a long way. However, Samsung is one of the manufacturers that is playing it safe even today. Where companies like Xiaomi and Oppo have broken through the 100W barrier, Samsung is still on the more conservative side. Now, the latest information suggests that the same will happen with the upcoming Galaxy S22 series.

Three phones that look like they could be the Galaxy S22 trio have just passed through China 's 3C certification service , and this time, we're taking a look at the charging speeds of these phones, and we're telling you not to expect too much.
Judging from the screenshot below, the model numbers SM-S9080, SM-S9060, and SM-S9010 will feature charging and may also come with an optional travel charger. Interestingly enough, the charger is listed as EP-TA800, which Samsung has been using for the past two years.

I understand that the news may be disappointing for many people because Samsung users may be hoping for an increase in battery life, but this isn't a bad thing at all from many perspectives.
Modern smartphone batteries last a long time, but in most cases you need to plug your phone in to charge before you go to sleep. The 25W charging speed will have your Galaxy S22 charged before you even wake up, and not being as fast as the competition won't have a negative impact on the overall health of your battery.

In short, Samsung's decision to go with 25W for the upcoming Galaxy S22 series makes a certain amount of sense. Sure, some would call it the opposite of innovative, but it makes more sense to stick with 25W charging speeds in the long run.
The Galaxy S22 series should be released by the end of this year or early next year, and the latest rumors claim that the phones have been delayed further to make room for the Galaxy S21 FE.
