Following this week’s reveal of the sharpest product renders yet and seemingly complete spec sheets for all three main Galaxy S22 variants, you might be wondering what is even the point of Samsung holding a presumably glamorous Unpacked launch event on February 9.
After all, we already know everything there is to know about the impending S22, S22+, and S22 Ultra, price tags and delivery dates included, right? Well, wrong. Not as in wrong about the specifications, prices, and the rest of the details revealed so far, but wrong about there being nothing left to find out.
For instance, if you looked closely at the detailed specs disclosed by German publication WinFuture earlier this week, you may have noticed the battery section was actually incomplete. While fast charging support was obviously listed for all three high-end phones, the top speeds the Galaxy S22 family is expected to achieve were curiously left out.
So how fast will the S22, S22+, and S22 Ultra charge in the end?
Pretty darn fast, at least as far as the two larger models are concerned, which will apparently come with 45W support. That would represent a very solid improvement from the 25W speeds offered across last year’s Galaxy S21 lineup, with the notable exception of the “vanilla” S22, confirmed today to retain its predecessor’s exact wired charging capabilities.
No battery speed upgrade for the regular Galaxy S22.
Today’s information, by the way, comes from a European certification body (via Nashville Chatter Class), so while we’re not entirely sure if it was supposed to go public already, it’s almost certainly legit.
Now it looks like both the S22+ and S22 Ultra could offer faster charging than their little brother, which is still a tad disappointing to hear for prospective buyers of the compact Galaxy S22, but it’s much better than what was initially predicted for these high-end handsets.
