Fast charging technology for smartphones is advancing with each new iteration of a flagship smartphone and major developments in this regard are coming from Chinese manufacturers, with OPPO having announced 125W Super Flash Charging.
Now, the South Korean tech giant Samsung is also working on a new 65W fast charging technology for its upcoming premium smartphones. It is also being reported that the fast charging tech could be used for the upcoming Galaxy S22 lineup.
As per the latest information coming from tipster Tron, the 65W charger is in the testing phase for “Rainbow” which is a codename for the upcoming Galaxy S22 series smartphones. Here, R stands for the vanilla model, G stands for the Plus variant, while B is referring to the Ultra model.
The premium smartphones from the company come with support for 45W fast charging, such as the Samsung Galaxy Note10+. However, most of the devices from the South Korean brand support 15W-25W charging. This is too low for the world’s leading smartphone manufacturer when several companies are offering faster-charging technology.
The 65W charger from Samsung was certified by TÜV SÜD in February this year. This is the same charger with model number EP-TA865 which was certified by South Korea’s NRRA certification in September last year.
The certification process has revealed that the charger will have a maximum output rate of 20V/3.25A and will support the latest USB-IF PD (Power Delivery) standard, which includes a specification called Programmable Power Supply (PPS).
Nowadays, phone manufacturers are removing the charger from the retail box, forcing users to purchase it separately. So, it remains to be seen if Samsung includes the 65W charger in the box when it launches a smartphone with support for such fast charging.
