Samsung has stayed out of the smartphone charging speed wars. Although the competition has been charging as fast as 120W with recent flagship releases, the South Korean technology giant’s smartphones only support charging up to 45W. Now, a leaked picture shows a 65W charger from Samsung.
The company’s upcoming 65W charger (EP-TA865) was certified by the South Korean authorities in September 2020, but this is the first time we have seen it in the flesh. It features a single USB Type-C port and supports USB power supply up to 20V and 3.25A. It also complies with PPS (Programmable Power Supply), which means it is compatible with a wide range of devices, including smartphones and laptops. While there is no indication that the new charger is for the upcoming Galaxy S21 series, it can be paired with one of the upcoming laptops and even the Galaxy Note 21.
In the past, the company has released two USB PD 3.0 power control chips (SE8A and MM101) that support up to 100W charging. Do you want Samsung to improve its gameplay and bring faster charging technology to its smartphones?
