Samsung’s next-generation Galaxy S23 and S23 + received 3C certification today, and both devices support charging up to 25W just like their predecessors. The Galaxy S23 (SM-S9110) and Galaxy S23 + (SM-S9160) are both certified with the same EP-TA800 charger. Device identifiers confirm that these units are intended for the Chinese market.

The news comes a few days after the Galaxy S23 Ultra (SM-S9180) was also certified with 25W charging. We expect this to be the Chinese unit as well and this may still leave the ability for international models to support higher charging speeds, for example 45W.

The Galaxy S22 Ultra supports charging speeds of up to 45W, although in our tests we found that it has no tangible advantage over 25W charging. A 0-100% full charge on the S22 Ultra with the 45W charger took just 5 minutes less than the 25W charger. Samsung is expected to announce its Galaxy S23 series in the first quarter of 2023.
