The Samsung Galaxy S23 series includes some of the best high end phones you can get today. As we now approach two months since the trio of Galaxy S23 phones became available, new discoveries are on the way, especially when it comes to wireless charging speeds on the flagships. With heat dissipation being one of the main concerns of modern phone makers, Samsung seems to have made decisions that actually slow down the charging of the 2023 flagships compared to their predecessors, the Galaxy S22 series.
In a detailed comparison conducted by Phone Arena, we learn that despite the Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S23 offering roughly the same wireless charging speeds, the Galaxy S22 charges faster than its 2023 counterpart, which is quite disconcerting given the emphasis on wireless charging. speed and performance on Samsung’s latest smartphones. All Samsung phones in the comparison were powered using the brand’s EP-P2400 15W wireless charging adapter to avoid any inconsistencies.
As shown in the table below, the Galaxy S23 Ultra takes about 40 minutes longer to go from 1 to 100% wireless than the Galaxy S22 Ultra. Meanwhile, the Galaxy S23 Plus takes around 15 minutes longer under the same circumstances, while the vanilla Galaxy S23 takes around 16 minutes longer to fully charge compared to its predecessor. The Apple iPhone 14 Pro 2022 models are also part of the comparison, showing that the 14 Pro Max charges about as fast as the S23 Ultra on its MagSafe wireless charger with a 20W USB-C charger used.
It’s likely that Samsung took that call to prevent overheating, though the company’s documentation said the Galaxy S23 includes “an improved level of heat dissipation” for this purpose. However, none of this explains how the latest generation flagship, which has the same battery size and wireless charging technology as the Galaxy S23 Ultra, can charge faster than the new model at the moment. same charging speed. It’s also worth mentioning that 15W wireless charging is by no means the fastest standard available. That pales in comparison to some of the alternatives on the market today, with brands like OnePlus offering 50W wireless charging for a few years now.
With the Galaxy S23 series, 15W fast wireless charging is exclusively available on the own company chargers. This means that customers using third-party chargers would see their speeds capped at 10W, even if the charger supports 15W. The detailed comparison reveals that the wireless charging rate is limited, even when using the recommended 15W charger. by Samsung. We agree that the company may have answered that call due to issues with heat management.
