- The Samsung Galaxy S25, S25 Plus, and S25 Ultra have all been licensed by US regulators
- They will seemingly all cost on the identical velocity as their predecessors
- The Samsung Galaxy S25 does not seem to have ultra-wideband
The Samsung Galaxy S24 and its siblings are among the many greatest Android telephones you should purchase, however one factor they’re removed from one of the best at is quick charging, with even the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra’s charging speeds being dwarfed by some rival handsets. Sadly, it appears to be like just like the Samsung Galaxy S25 collection will cost simply as slowly.
Following a latest FCC (Federal Communications Commission) certification for the Samsung Galaxy S25 within the US, the Galaxy S25 Plus and Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra have additionally now been licensed, as noticed by 91Mobiles, and people certifications reveal the probably charging speeds.
In the case of the Samsung Galaxy S25 that velocity is 25W, identical to its predecessor, whereas the Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus and Ultra appear to be they’ll cost at 45W, which once more is identical as the present fashions.
Technically these certifications don’t reveal the telephones’ charging speeds, however they do reveal the speeds of the ability adapters related to every telephone, which normally would match what the telephone is able to.
Well behind rivals
So that’s unlucky when you think about that the Xiaomi 14T Pro, for instance, affords 120W wired charging and 50W wi-fi, whereas the OnePlus 13 helps 100W wired charging and 50W wi-fi – and people are simply a few examples of a lot faster-charging Android telephones.
And talking of wi-fi charging, 91Mobiles interprets the FCC info as saying that the bottom Samsung Galaxy S25 will provide simply 9W wi-fi charging, down from an already-slow 15W on the Samsung Galaxy S24.
However, that appears an unlikely downgrade, and certainly leaker @Jukanlosreve noticed that, primarily based on the FCC documentation, it’s really reverse wi-fi charging (the flexibility to wirelessly cost different gadgets with the telephone) that’s 9W, whereas wi-fi charging might be nonetheless 15W. That would really be an improve for reverse wi-fi charging, as that tops out at 4.5W on the Galaxy S24.
Charging speeds apart, there’s not a lot of curiosity in these FCC certifications, although they do state that the Samsung Galaxy S25 will lack UWB (ultra-wideband). This is a wi-fi communication protocol that can be utilized for issues like unlocking automobile doorways and extra exact monitoring of gadgets like Samsung’s SmartTag 2.
UWB is current on the Samsung Galaxy S24 Plus and Ultra, however not on the bottom mannequin, and it feels like the identical can be true of the Samsung Galaxy S25 line. So in brief, nearly not one of the issues that these certifications point out appear to be altering from the Galaxy S24 collection.
We’d nonetheless take all of this with a pinch of salt, however the FCC must be working off official info, so these particulars are probably right. We’ll most likely discover out for certain in January, as that’s when the Samsung Galaxy S25 collection is anticipated to launch.
