To protect the battery, I have one of my routines set up that after 9:30 pm, when I plug my phone in, it charges normally instead of super fast charging regardless of the battery percentage remaining.
I think the takeaway here is real world use. If I get home with 10% battery and need to get a charge to go out for the night, I can get back up to 70% in 25 minutes. 0-100% isn't what most people are going to be using, most people just want a quick bump of juice to last them for the rest of the day
Also they recommend turning on the max 85% charge limit on your phone to preserve the lithium ion battery life. It really works. What kills your battery quickly is charging from low capacity less than 30% and over 80% as it puts a chemical strain to charge the lithium between outter and inner the graphite layers. I use the samsung duo wireless charger for my S23U as it has a built in fan with smart charging. It comes with a 25watt adapter.
As other people said, a 45 watt charger is a nice to have in "emergency situations", when you wake up late for school with *10%* and only have 15 minutes to charge (in 15 minutes 45 watts gets you to 48% while the 25 watts get you to 38%) or when you wanna go hang out with your friends you can also take the charger with you and plug it either at your friends house or at a bar for 20 minutes easily. Of course if you have time, preferably use a 15watt or a 25watt charger as it is better for your battery and avoids wasted heat. I am going to get a 45watt charger but I already have a 25watt one. Just to have it if I need it. (Costs less than 30 euros in my country right now)
Finally, someone who gets it! Most people aren't looking for 0-100% in 45 min, they just want it for when you're in a rush and only have 10% left in your phone. Although I wish Samsung would opt for a 65W charger just to compete with the current market... But given the Note 7 fiasco I don't think they'll be doing that anytime soon
@@heeeydevon8262 Yeah, they probably won't. They are playing it a little safe with the batteries. Personally, I do not need a faster charger and kind of believe that no one actually needs it. Not only is it unnecessary additional wear on your battery but there's no way you won't have a total of 40 minutes each day to charge your phone. In two 20 minute intervals you charge your phone from 10% to 60%. Right now I have the regular Galaxy S22 and I need 160% of battery to get throughout the day. I am going to buy the S23 Ultra by the end of this month and my only hope is for the phone to get me through the day, doesn't even need to last the whole night. If it manages to do that I will be, after 4 samsung phones from my past, a satisfied costumer. 😃
@@JackMaslovCZLive I'm picking up the S23 ultra at the end of the month too! Apparently the battery is amazing, but no matter how much they claim it lasts 2 days under normal usage I usually never get a full day out of my battery. The 200W+ fast chargers are pretty wild (0-50% in 3 min) but people don't want to need to have to charge it before the day's through in the first place. I'm hoping that the S23 ultra gives us the best of both worlds
In my opinion, the 45w charger is definitely worth it. Comparing both when charging up to 100% is not relevant, because in such a case I probably have enough time and would not mind the few minutes differences.

@@kpehe100 not necessarily, heat dissipation has a lot to do with the slow down. I think real world usage will show how useful the 45W charger is, especially for those days when you're at 10% battery and get that last minute phone call to go out and you want a decent charge by the time you're done getting ready. 25 min is all you need to get from 10% to 70%. I don't think that anyone is really looking for a 0-100% charge in most conditions, usually that's for when you're going to bed (which you should be trickle charger for anyways)
Tbh, the difference is not all that much. However, if you are a power user, 45w is definitely the way. Tho, neither 25w nor the 45w charger are fast in today's standards. Taking over an hour for a full charge is kinda wack, considering most of the competition has much faster charging (and an actual charging block to boot). I get that samsung doesn't want their phones to explode again, but it's kinda embarrassing that they're at the top yet have those problems.

I bought a Note 10+ about three years ago from a guy, and he included this amazing 45w charger. Since then, I've upgraded to the S22 Ultra and still use that charger to this day. It's awesome. I only use it for my phone, S8+ Tablet, and my Samsung power bank. I take it everywhere!
Definitely 45w. It is the time to 75% that matters more than the time to 100% for me. I use my 45w at work for quick bursts in batter life and my 25w at home when charging to 100%. It is so much faster for picking up a quick 30% to 50% battery. Just my 2 cents. My understanding is that the throttle point to save battery is around 80%, that's why the 25w caught up. Great video showing the time Stamps, though.
@@dzuydragon fast charging isn't bad for your battery anymore. It used to have some adverse effects, but most companies have figured out how to reduce the heat involved. Even Oneplus with their 125W fast chargers figured out how to have less battery degradation than the iPhone
45 watt is not worth the hype, I got the 25W without cable as cable was already provided in the box, but with 45W you have to pay extra for cable as well as charger as out of the box cable is of no use for 45 Watt. I don't understand why would one pay 3 times more the price for something non practical.
I have the Ugreen 65w foldable charger and the Ugreen 130w car charger. I want to charge my phone to and from work. The majority of the time, the phone is not below 50%, and almost never below 40% in my case. The 45w capability comes in handy as I can charge my S23 Ultra back to 85% in less than 20 minutes whilst I drive to work. For me, 45w is the winner.
Absolutely this is not 45W charging. S23 DOES NOT use more than 25-30W on 45W charger. I see people in comments are so ignorant. Do your homework guys. Learn about Voltage and Amps. FYI The original supplied cable is 3 Amps, not 5 Amps.
Thank you so much for the amazing video . I was thinking that if 25W takes one hour then 45 watt would take 30 mins but I was wrong! I was planning to buy a 45W charger though I had 25W charger for this reason. Here in the UK it costs around 44 pounds for 45 W charger whereas in my country original charger costs will be around 12 or 15 pounds only. This video saved my money. Thank You So Much Once Again
45 is definitely worth it. Using a fast charger is really about getting that first 50% or so back. I'll just use wireless for my overnight/100% charge.
My other phone charges from 0% to 100% in 9 minutes it isn't a flagship phone so the fact that I own this phone and it takes over an hour to charge just what it's just gobsmacking really Samsung need to do better this is a 2,000 pound handset it's not an 11t Pro for 300 quid and yet that phone absolutely cripples this for battery in every way
I am useing samsung 65w brick with a 5A cable for hurry up charges and if i have a time or ower night a wireless charger is there for not stressing the battery 👍
@@elixier33 Ok just ask urself that even if your other phone charges from 0-100 in 9 minutes, you're still looking at a Samsung phone. Yeah, cuz your other phone probably wouldn't last as long as a Samsung one.
@M-T I have had many phones over the years. Samsung makes quality handsets but they are just so expensive. I have moved to s23 ultra but charging is just too slow.
I bought 5A cable (with an LED) with an Anker 313 45w Charger, but honestly, it is much faster than the 25w I had. It is very smart as it is very fast when the phone is near to empty and slows down when phone is above 60%. When the Phone is fully charged, it goes to 1W charge speed.
@romantashev it varies. When your phone's battery is drained, it charges faster (43-45 W), when you get to 60% battery charge, it comes down to 35-25. As it is almost fully charged, it shows around 15 W of charging speed. This is done to protect the battery with adaptative charging while making sure you can have more juice when needed. Ans yes, I have also noticed a charging routine. During the day it charges way faster than the night when It's my usual sleep time. Very smart charging 👌
Does y'all s23 ultra battery drain by itself in the night or when not in use ? I lost over 10% every night , even when i close all background apps and use battery optimization
@@carver9312 he has used I think I am using a Belkin 65W PD charger which I purchased for $45 with the stock cable and it charges at the same speed as a 25W adapter 💀🥲
Since I use the protect battery option, which keeps the max charge at 85%, 0-100% doesn't matter, but the first 30 mins definitely make a difference. Did you do a test with a 100W cable or the cable that came in the package, which I think is the 60W cable?
Long story short, if you're using the battery protection feature, on 45w it will take 35 min to charge to 80%, on 25w it will take 45 min to 80%. So it's really not an issue. Edit: stamps are on point! Great video.
If you're the kind of person that's coming and going a lot, and a half hour is all you got, then definitely get the 45w. That 70% - 50% difference is where's at. If you're always charging to full there's not much senses into saving the ten minutes for the price difference.
45-watts done the Samsung way is not really fast charging, just faster charging for some of the time. So for a quick top-up it is better than the 25-watt charger, but overall, versus what China is doing, all rather tepid and underwhelming. I suspect Samsung does the 45-watt for marketing so fans can feel they are getting better tech. Sadly, the reality is that Samsung has poor fast charging versus all the Chinese brands. Apple and Google are also behind the curve, even more so, but we are talking about a £1400 phone called the "Ultra" so it is rather disappointing. For those that say they do not need it, well you can have it and still charge slowly, but the feature is added value and shocking that Samsung, Apple and Google are so far behind.
It's very typical of the big house name brands to innovate less and less these days because they simply don't have to. They already have the market share and know what they're bringing to the table. These lesser brands have to bring something different, or they wouldn't be taken seriously at all. But honestly, the battery in my S23 Ultra lasts me all day easily with plenty to spare and I consider myself a pretty heavy user. On the average weekday I usually unplug fully charged at 6:30AM. By the time I plug my phone back in around 11PM I still have around 30%. That's with the usual 5~ hours of screen time for a weekday (social media, UA-cam, music/podcasts, web browsing, etc.) I can easily get 8+ hours of screen time and heavy usage before the phone dies. That being said, I'm still using the "warp" charger that came with my old OnePlus N10 which I've found only charges OnePlus devices at the advertised 30W. My S23 Ultra only charges at 10W with it. I'm about to purchase a 150W GaN charger to charge my gaming laptop when I'm not gaming and don't need full power, so I don't have to tote around the bulky 330W charger it comes with, which will have the added benefit of fast charging my phone. But, if I didn't need that I would just deal with the slow charge because the battery is so good, I don't ever find I need to quickly top off my phone. But I agree that when you're paying this much for a device that's supposed to be the best and have everything, it would have been nice to see some higher numbers. But I still wouldn't go with a different brand.
@@joshallis0n yes that is all true. With the new chips the s23u should get 95% of users through a day. The real fast charging from China is nice to have in case you forget to charge but as you say now we have the SD8G2 not as important.
@@joshallis0n Ehat Chinese phones charger faster than Samsung and have longer battery life?? None, and none of them are more innovative. Not even close mate.
Oh but I'm sure the chinese phone makers are thinking about longevity right? I've had numerous chinese phones that were all better on paper, but don't even last 2 years. Meanwhile, I'm buying this expensive phone with "older technology" than Chinese phones, yet it can last me 5 years comfortable.
Chinese mobiles superiority is just on the paper , as their mobiles with 80w and 125 w can't even maitaom battery health for 1.5 yrs. If it's about innovation, in my point of view atleast providing good battery life with least maH of battery possible is better like what apple mostly does and to some extent even samsung ( as it's sustainable, by talking about sustainability I won't support their move of removing chargers)
If you've got time, it makes no difference. But if you're pressed for time, say you forgot to charge just before you head out the door and only have 15-30 min, then you'll get more out of 45W. Horses for courses.
that is absolutely what i want for overnight i use "slow" charging wireless as i really have no rush for fast top-up i use fast charging as it's for special cases where i forgot to charge, going out for more than I was expecting or when i was not expecting it, etc i charge until 85% as that is more than enough until i go to bed again (would be enough until the next day if i forget also) so then i only go a minimum 35% over the day and then charge it overnight until 85% i agree that i would of wanted for the thing to work at that speed for the whole duration (on Huawei the charger heats up, not the phone as it's same voltage, just more amps
Well it's true that Samsung flagship supports 45w but the Samsung itself doesn't want you to charge it at 45w. That's the main thing that they even don't include 5A cable inside the box instead of 3A.
Most people needs a juice-up from 15-20% and what they can get during the next 10-20 minutes. If I can get 40% during 10 minutes vs 26% I'm deff buying the 45W
I use a bases 65w charger and it does the job. I have my S23 under protection so i only charge it to 85% and its round the the same time or slightly less. Thanks for the look, it was good as usual.
I have a s23U and the official samsung 45w EP-T4510 charger. It doesn't charge any faster than my 25w charger and I can't figure out why. I do use a 5A cable, and I have a volt/Ampere meter and the charger does charge at 45w.. then after a while it drops to 15w... rise back again at 45w.. then after a while back at 15w... from 1% to 100% the fastest it ever charged was at around 1 hour and 20 minutes... Does any one else have any similar issue to this??? I am going nuts...
Does it ruin the battery life that using anker 45w with the cable comes out from the s23 ultra box which is i think 60w 3a ? And will it work like 25w with that cable?
May I know what were your ambient temps during this test? I am unable to get 70% charge within 30mins. Charging speeds get throttle down so hard once it hits 37c battery temps
Your content is great and you are creative. You present different new videos and simulate what is in the mind of phone users. Thank you for repeating this experience so that others know the difference between the charger 25 and 45 watts, and is it like last year with s22 ultra
45 watt is worth it all the speed happens in the beginning after halfway they both get the same watts. Samsung has 85% limit app on the battery which you should be using anyways. 85-100 is irrelevant. It destroys the battery. I only charge to 100 percent when I'm using public transport all day.
This make benefit only if ur phone is dead and u have only a few min to charge it up like 10 mint or 15 min... u get mouch more with 45w but if u have anough time for a full charge its make no diferents
Most people think they brought original 45w charger but they end up getting fake one thats why. Also cable quality matters. The default cable that comes inside s23 ultra box does not even support full 45w charging speeds
I am using 45w charger since a year and it heats up the phone till 40 degree celcius. Because of that the back panel of the phone is coming off due to the glue loosening coz of heat.
My thing is if it was ahead let's say 16% the 45w is slowing down. How is the 25w catching up. Unless the 45w slows down to counter the extra heat it took
Spigen cases are pretty good. I have to have a kickstand on my case because i watch youtube or shows most of the time I eat and its worked perfectly. Also I have never damaged a phone even slightly while dropping them dozens of times over the years. Its a perfect case as far as i'm concerned. I wish more cases had kickstands on them. Makes my choices pretty limited
Hm, I"m only one who think the 18W charging is enough and do not destroy/degenerate your battery? It is fast and not generate extra heat. I'm useing S22 phone.
most phone companies figured out how to reduce heat and make fast charging safer for your battery. It's super safe to use it these days. What's worse for your battery is leaving it at 100% overnight. If you're using the S22 ultra and up, set up a scheduled task on your phone to limit your charging to 85% until 30 minutes before you wake up, then set it to allow to charge to 100% after that. Your phone will hit 100% the moment you wake up
The only disappointment of this phone for me, I feel like the charging is so slow. My phone usually charges fully in about 70 minutes using 45w. My old S20U even charged faster, it took 60 minutes and that is a 3 years older device. Samsung really have to step up their charging game. My Oneplus fully charges in less half of the time of the S23U (and there is no heating issue or battery degradation).
@@LoverOfTech I guess that's relative, but for people that are used to faster charging phones. it really feels slow. Sure, it could be much worse like the iPhone or Pixel.
But is it safe to use 45 watt charger on s23 ultra? I've been thinking myself quite sometimes whether I need to use 25watt charger or 45watt charger. Please let me know, bro. Thanks😊
@@LoverOfTech So in the long run, the battery health degradation is not gonna be noticeable if you use 45W instead of 25W? Because, as you know, heat is bad for batteries
After 30 min mark put 45w charger and phone into freezer on ice for 10-15 seconds and boom you will finish 100% charging in 15-20 minutes only It slow down because of heat only i think
@LoverOfTech starting at 2:27 it looks like it sat at 1% until you touched the cable or the phone 3 minutes into the test. Not saying the test was wrong, but is there a compatibility issue with the Ultra and 45w charger?
Can anyone answer? Thanks in advance. I have a 65w adapter and 5A cable. I use them to charge my S23 Ultra. It says "Super Fast Charging" only and not "Super Fast Charging 2.0." It has a pop-up blue color and not green, and almost like 2.0 in charging speed. Does that mean even if it doesn't say 2.0, it's actually SFC 2.0 and not the ordinary SFC? Thanks!
There are a few things that Samsung do to push you to use there chargers. I have a 100W charger yet because its not from Samsung directly it charges at a maximum of 25w not the full 45w. So frustrating... This only happenes on there phones.
I have 65w baseus with 5a cable and it says super fast 2.0 but according to accu battery I only get 30w of charging speed and then dropping fast to about 25w. It is the same with original Samsung charger ? Does anyone seen actually charging speed above 40w ?
@venox48 I have the Anker 735 that dose do sfc 2.0, max I've seen is 43W but only when the battery is around 20% If the phone is hot from use the charging speed will slow down.
What the tuberz aren't saying is.... It does not matter unless the phone does it.. You don't NEED a 45w charger for a phone that can ONLY charge...UP TO......25w. also...at a certain point in the "super ultra mega fast" charging the phone STOPS ultra super mega fast charging and goes into a trickle charge.... But saying that, does not make a video great... Lol
When using a 45 watt charger... did you notice a rise in the temperature of the charger and something in the device ? And is this normal or not ?? Thank you
I have the 45 wat charger purchest last year. So when I upgraded my phone. To the Galaxy s23 ultra in my opinion the 45wat charger is worth evert penny.❤ it. If you think about the assiores before get your next phone it doesn't come as a shock. This the way to have the best forward planning this the way to do it
Guys help. My s23 ultra battery keeps dropping even if I'm not using it. I leave my phone 70% before I go to sleep then, when I woke up it's 66 sometimes 65 %. Any thoughts?
( nice video ) 25 watt is best . for overnight charging, don't need Super fast charging. i also Turn OFF super fast in the phone. i also have charge Limit set to 85 % in the Phone. thus at the 45 minute mark 81 % is essentially Fully charged at 81 % ,... 85 % 25 watt charger is half the price compared to 45 watt charger the battery and 25 watt charger run Cooler,...Lower Heat .
I still think it's wrong that phone manufacturers are able to sell their handsets without the charger. Fortunately I bought my Xperia I IV charger with the USB cable via eBay for £18 instead of the silly RRP £50 that Sony wanted
Thanks. As I'm looking at the fast charging as a gimmick and you have confirmed my thoughts that with current charging speeds I've never felt wanting for more. This video confirms that.
To protect the battery, I have one of my routines set up that after 9:30 pm, when I plug my phone in, it charges normally instead of super fast charging regardless of the battery percentage remaining.
Late I know but how do you set that up?
I don't think that protects the battery. It was built to be super fast charged.

45 watt is not worth the hype, I got the 25W without cable as cable was already provided in the box, but with 45W you have to pay extra for cable as well as charger as out of the box cable is of no use for 45 Watt. I don't understand why would one pay 3 times more the price for something non practical.
I have the Ugreen 65w foldable charger and the Ugreen 130w car charger.
I want to charge my phone to and from work. The majority of the time, the phone is not below 50%, and almost never below 40% in my case.
The 45w capability comes in handy as I can charge my S23 Ultra back to 85% in less than 20 minutes whilst I drive to work.
For me, 45w is the winner.
I don't think those support Samsung 2.0 45w charging.
Absolutely this is not 45W charging. S23 DOES NOT use more than 25-30W on 45W charger. I see people in comments are so ignorant. Do your homework guys. Learn about Voltage and Amps. FYI The original supplied cable is 3 Amps, not 5 Amps.
could you explain further? he's not using the supplied cable i believe, and since it shows superfast chargin 2.0, it is 45w
The 5 amps cable is sold with the charger
3Amp is providing by Samsung ultra. If you want to purchase 45W adapter you will get 5amp cable.
Thank you so much for the amazing video . I was thinking that if 25W takes one hour then 45 watt would take 30 mins but I was wrong! I was planning to buy a 45W charger though I had 25W charger for this reason. Here in the UK it costs around 44 pounds for 45 W charger whereas in my country original charger costs will be around 12 or 15 pounds only. This video saved my money. Thank You So Much Once Again
45 is definitely worth it. Using a fast charger is really about getting that first 50% or so back. I'll just use wireless for my overnight/100% charge.
My other phone charges from 0% to 100% in 9 minutes it isn't a flagship phone so the fact that I own this phone and it takes over an hour to charge just what it's just gobsmacking really Samsung need to do better this is a 2,000 pound handset it's not an 11t Pro for 300 quid and yet that phone absolutely cripples this for battery in every way
I am useing samsung 65w brick with a 5A cable for hurry up charges and if i have a time or ower night a wireless charger is there for not stressing the battery 👍
@@elixier33 Ok just ask urself that even if your other phone charges from 0-100 in 9 minutes, you're still looking at a Samsung phone.
Yeah, cuz your other phone probably wouldn't last as long as a Samsung one.
@M-T I have had many phones over the years. Samsung makes quality handsets but they are just so expensive. I have moved to s23 ultra but charging is just too slow.
I bought 5A cable (with an LED) with an Anker 313 45w Charger, but honestly, it is much faster than the 25w I had. It is very smart as it is very fast when the phone is near to empty and slows down when phone is above 60%. When the Phone is fully charged, it goes to 1W charge speed.
Do you have a link from the Cable?
How many wats shows on lcd display during charging?
@romantashev it varies. When your phone's battery is drained, it charges faster (43-45 W), when you get to 60% battery charge, it comes down to 35-25. As it is almost fully charged, it shows around 15 W of charging speed. This is done to protect the battery with adaptative charging while making sure you can have more juice when needed. Ans yes, I have also noticed a charging routine. During the day it charges way faster than the night when It's my usual sleep time. Very smart charging 👌
@@Medzo2 Finally..how long it takes you to charge it , let's say from 10% up to 85%?
@@animusmartini5727exactly what I was going to ask.
Does y'all s23 ultra battery drain by itself in the night or when not in use ?
I lost over 10% every night , even when i close all background apps and use battery optimization
Yes!! I also had the same problem!!
Same here
At night, Put in airplane mode (leave wifi if you wish). It should improve a lot!
Sad part is that to we don't get a 5A cable out of the box so need to purchase the adapter as well as a cable to actually use 45W🥲
Facts bro
Wish he would've used the 5A charger here.
@@carver9312 he has used I think
I am using a Belkin 65W PD charger which I purchased for $45 with the stock cable and it charges at the same speed as a 25W adapter 💀🥲
What the cable that comes in the box is 5a haha
samsung is giving 1.8m length 5A cable with Tablets but not phones
Since I use the protect battery option, which keeps the max charge at 85%, 0-100% doesn't matter, but the first 30 mins definitely make a difference. Did you do a test with a 100W cable or the cable that came in the package, which I think is the 60W cable?
The original cable is not even capable for 45 watt u must buy an extra cable and a 45watt charger and actualy u need a 5A usb-c cable
Long story short, if you're using the battery protection feature, on 45w it will take 35 min to charge to 80%, on 25w it will take 45 min to 80%. So it's really not an issue.
Edit: stamps are on point! Great video.
If you're the kind of person that's coming and going a lot, and a half hour is all you got, then definitely get the 45w. That 70% - 50% difference is where's at. If you're always charging to full there's not much senses into saving the ten minutes for the price difference.
Charging to 100% daily would also affect battery capacity over time. Batteries don't like being at full charge and high temperatures constantly.
45-watts done the Samsung way is not really fast charging, just faster charging for some of the time. So for a quick top-up it is better than the 25-watt charger, but overall, versus what China is doing, all rather tepid and underwhelming.
I suspect Samsung does the 45-watt for marketing so fans can feel they are getting better tech. Sadly, the reality is that Samsung has poor fast charging versus all the Chinese brands. Apple and Google are also behind the curve, even more so, but we are talking about a £1400 phone called the "Ultra" so it is rather disappointing.
For those that say they do not need it, well you can have it and still charge slowly, but the feature is added value and shocking that Samsung, Apple and Google are so far behind.
It's very typical of the big house name brands to innovate less and less these days because they simply don't have to. They already have the market share and know what they're bringing to the table. These lesser brands have to bring something different, or they wouldn't be taken seriously at all. But honestly, the battery in my S23 Ultra lasts me all day easily with plenty to spare and I consider myself a pretty heavy user. On the average weekday I usually unplug fully charged at 6:30AM. By the time I plug my phone back in around 11PM I still have around 30%. That's with the usual 5~ hours of screen time for a weekday (social media, UA-cam, music/podcasts, web browsing, etc.)
I can easily get 8+ hours of screen time and heavy usage before the phone dies. That being said, I'm still using the "warp" charger that came with my old OnePlus N10 which I've found only charges OnePlus devices at the advertised 30W. My S23 Ultra only charges at 10W with it. I'm about to purchase a 150W GaN charger to charge my gaming laptop when I'm not gaming and don't need full power, so I don't have to tote around the bulky 330W charger it comes with, which will have the added benefit of fast charging my phone. But, if I didn't need that I would just deal with the slow charge because the battery is so good, I don't ever find I need to quickly top off my phone. But I agree that when you're paying this much for a device that's supposed to be the best and have everything, it would have been nice to see some higher numbers. But I still wouldn't go with a different brand.
@@joshallis0n yes that is all true. With the new chips the s23u should get 95% of users through a day. The real fast charging from China is nice to have in case you forget to charge but as you say now we have the SD8G2 not as important.
@@joshallis0n Ehat Chinese phones charger faster than Samsung and have longer battery life?? None, and none of them are more innovative. Not even close mate.
Oh but I'm sure the chinese phone makers are thinking about longevity right?
I've had numerous chinese phones that were all better on paper, but don't even last 2 years.
Meanwhile, I'm buying this expensive phone with "older technology" than Chinese phones, yet it can last me 5 years comfortable.
Chinese mobiles superiority is just on the paper , as their mobiles with 80w and 125 w can't even maitaom battery health for 1.5 yrs.
If it's about innovation, in my point of view atleast providing good battery life with least maH of battery possible is better like what apple mostly does and to some extent even samsung ( as it's sustainable, by talking about sustainability I won't support their move of removing chargers)
I charge to 85% and do top ups. With this in mind 45w might be worth it.
Probably wouldn't bother if I was charging to 100% or overnight.
I think that's its main usage. If I'm doing overnight I do the slowest charge anyways
After 80% of the battery the 45w charger also work like 25w because of batteries safety measures
Now I know why my phone takes forever to charge even with 45w 😂. The 45w is only 45 w at 0% and gradually decreases as your phone charges
it actually starts decreasing around 70% and by 90% it could go slower than the 25W one as it already heated up
If you've got time, it makes no difference. But if you're pressed for time, say you forgot to charge just before you head out the door and only have 15-30 min, then you'll get more out of 45W. Horses for courses.
Definitely a good point
Great Video, but what happen to your Mic bro? You Sound Sibilant (Sounded like your under water talking).
that is absolutely what i want
for overnight i use "slow" charging wireless as i really have no rush
for fast top-up i use fast charging as it's for special cases where i forgot to charge, going out for more than I was expecting or when i was not expecting it, etc
i charge until 85% as that is more than enough until i go to bed again (would be enough until the next day if i forget also) so then i only go a minimum 35% over the day and then charge it overnight until 85%
i agree that i would of wanted for the thing to work at that speed for the whole duration (on Huawei the charger heats up, not the phone as it's same voltage, just more amps
Would anyone mind telling me what is the max charging speed the cable in the box supports?
Well it's true that Samsung flagship supports 45w but the Samsung itself doesn't want you to charge it at 45w. That's the main thing that they even don't include 5A cable inside the box instead of 3A.
my cable supports 45w with no issue so i guess it depends
Weird thing is I purchased a 45w brick with PPS, which Samsung uses but my s23 plus never goes above 23w during charging.
I just bought the Anker 313 Ace 45W. It's cheaper, more compact, and foldable as well. They have 20% discount and with that It costs only $24
Most people needs a juice-up from 15-20% and what they can get during the next 10-20 minutes. If I can get 40% during 10 minutes vs 26% I'm deff buying the 45W
Not sure why people are saying they're glad they watched it, and settled on 25w. This is a huge difference.
I use a bases 65w charger and it does the job. I have my S23 under protection so i only charge it to 85% and its round the the same time or slightly less. Thanks for the look, it was good as usual.
I have a s23U and the official samsung 45w EP-T4510 charger. It doesn't charge any faster than my 25w charger and I can't figure out why. I do use a 5A cable, and I have a volt/Ampere meter and the charger does charge at 45w.. then after a while it drops to 15w... rise back again at 45w.. then after a while back at 15w... from 1% to 100% the fastest it ever charged was at around 1 hour and 20 minutes... Does any one else have any similar issue to this??? I am going nuts...
Not sure
It means we must pay $35 more to get 10 minutes faster charging 😂
From Vietnam with love ^^
The most important difference is in 20% to 80% range. When you're in a hurry this really matter.
Big difference when you charge to 85% to extend your battery life.
Does it ruin the battery life that using anker 45w with the cable comes out from the s23 ultra box which is i think 60w 3a ? And will it work like 25w with that cable?
The cable will bottleneck it, no difference than using a 25w charger
Massive difference. 45w definitely worth it.
30 to 70 is what matters the most.
85% in 40 mins in 45-watt charger
85% limit is good for long battery life generally I use
Great video man yea I got the 45 love it. Had my Samsung for a week and love it omg its a beast
May I know what were your ambient temps during this test? I am unable to get 70% charge within 30mins. Charging speeds get throttle down so hard once it hits 37c battery temps
Your content is great and you are creative. You present different new videos and simulate what is in the mind of phone users. Thank you for repeating this experience so that others know the difference between the charger 25 and 45 watts, and is it like last year with s22 ultra
You're most welcome 🙏🏿 🤗
@LoverOfTech why doesn't my s23+ say fast charging or super fast? I have the 45w charging box. Ty
45 watt is worth it all the speed happens in the beginning after halfway they both get the same watts. Samsung has 85% limit app on the battery which you should be using anyways. 85-100 is irrelevant. It destroys the battery. I only charge to 100 percent when I'm using public transport all day.
Is the cable included in the s23+ box 5A?
No
This make benefit only if ur phone is dead and u have only a few min to charge it up like 10 mint or 15 min... u get mouch more with 45w but if u have anough time for a full charge its make no diferents
My s23 Ultra charges to 100% in under 45min on my 45w charger. Not sure why his is taking so long.
Most people think they brought original 45w charger but they end up getting fake one thats why.
Also cable quality matters. The default cable that comes inside s23 ultra box does not even support full 45w charging speeds
@@itsyoboigucci7578 Absolutely correct!
The s23 ultra doesnt take under 45min to charge if u think ur new flagship takes under 45min u havent seen the other fast charging tests
he use wrong cable
Charger and cable is both important, make sure good ones
I am using 45w charger since a year and it heats up the phone till 40 degree celcius. Because of that the back panel of the phone is coming off due to the glue loosening coz of heat.
Can anybody tell me the summary? I saw that 45w 25w charger are basically the same about the full time they consumed. Means no big diffrence. Right??
which charger do you use for 45W charing new or old one?
Makes no difference whether you use the old or new official charger from Samsung
Yeah but do you use 5A charger cable.? If not it's normal. You have to use 5ah charger cable for the 45w adapter..
YES and I stated it in the video. Watch the videoooo
Hello, it seems that after I got the phone the 45W charging has become really slow.
My thing is if it was ahead let's say 16% the 45w is slowing down. How is the 25w catching up. Unless the 45w slows down to counter the extra heat it took
It's not worth the extra cash for the sake of a few minutes. I'm definitely glad I got the 25w charger now. Thanks for the info .
Hi , do you use 25w charger for the s23 ultra?
Please does anyone know if a third-party 65 watts charger help me charge my s23ultra at the peak rate?
It has to support PD PPS standard for it to work
S23 ultra support 45 watt?
Yes
Certainly not much difference to be bothered with, will continue with 25W , are spigen phone cases good Quality ? What's Your Thoughts
Spigen cases are pretty good. I have to have a kickstand on my case because i watch youtube or shows most of the time I eat and its worked perfectly. Also I have never damaged a phone even slightly while dropping them dozens of times over the years. Its a perfect case as far as i'm concerned. I wish more cases had kickstands on them. Makes my choices pretty limited
Hm, I"m only one who think the 18W charging is enough and do not destroy/degenerate your battery? It is fast and not generate extra heat. I'm useing S22 phone.
most phone companies figured out how to reduce heat and make fast charging safer for your battery. It's super safe to use it these days. What's worse for your battery is leaving it at 100% overnight. If you're using the S22 ultra and up, set up a scheduled task on your phone to limit your charging to 85% until 30 minutes before you wake up, then set it to allow to charge to 100% after that. Your phone will hit 100% the moment you wake up
The only disappointment of this phone for me, I feel like the charging is so slow. My phone usually charges fully in about 70 minutes using 45w. My old S20U even charged faster, it took 60 minutes and that is a 3 years older device. Samsung really have to step up their charging game. My Oneplus fully charges in less half of the time of the S23U (and there is no heating issue or battery degradation).
The charging speeds are fine enough. So slow is taking 2 hours or more to charge to full
@@LoverOfTech I guess that's relative, but for people that are used to faster charging phones. it really feels slow. Sure, it could be much worse like the iPhone or Pixel.
Which cable did you use?
5amp cable
I have 45w plug for s23u and it blazing fast.
Is it ok to used the cable came with phone using 25watt block to charge my s23 ultra?
45W is worth, we ain't slow as apple and fast like 120W on xiaomi and these, 120W is way too fast for a smartphone, laptops also don't need this much
Does the Samsung S23 Ultra support 45w charging on a 45w Charger that isn't from Samsung?
❤ love the video bro keep them coming
Thanks man 🙏🏿
Imagine Xiaomi had 120w charge with 12 min 0-full 2 years ago
Hey people , Just buy a Xoaimi Phone supporting 45 watt around $175 , you’ll have the cable , the charger plus a solid backup phone
Can we charge 45 volt with in box charger wire
1.Which ward should I use the charger for my S23 Alta phone?
2, with which cable to use?
45watts shines in tabs my s8 plus 10090mah cell goes back in 80 min from 45 watt
Does it drain thr battery use after being Charged??
Erm no lol
If your phone is dead in the morning and you need to get it to over 70%, 45 watts is the clear choice and value.
No difference 😂 people write that charging over 81 % kills the battery ,but the fast charger kill it even more 😂😂 🤡
Have you used A5 amp cabld with 45?
Yes
But is it safe to use 45 watt charger on s23 ultra? I've been thinking myself quite sometimes whether I need to use 25watt charger or 45watt charger. Please let me know, bro. Thanks😊
It’s the official charger so it will be fine
Would be interesting to see the temps as well.
A Anker 735 65w with 100w usb cable and the phone off will charge faster.
If the phone is kept cool and out of its case charge speeds increase.
Does the phone get noticeably hotter when charging at 45W compared to 25W?
No
@@LoverOfTech So in the long run, the battery health degradation is not gonna be noticeable if you use 45W instead of 25W? Because, as you know, heat is bad for batteries
@@starley_ Just get the 45W and turn off FAST CHARGING whenever you don't need it like for night time charging
I think it only charges at 45w some of the time and not most of it. Thats why it was good at the start and slowed down a lot.
Can I use Samsung's 35 watt power adapter to charge my 45 watt Samsung S24 ultra?
Xiaomi phones support 120w (mi13 pro -->120w , mi 13 --> 65w) but samsung s23 supports 25w and s23 ultra supoorts with 45w . Thats terrible.
After 30 min mark put 45w charger and phone into freezer on ice for 10-15 seconds and boom you will finish 100% charging in 15-20 minutes only
It slow down because of heat only i think
Why didn't the 45W start charging until 5 (I meant 3, not 5) minutes in when you tapped it?
Huh?
@LoverOfTech starting at 2:27 it looks like it sat at 1% until you touched the cable or the phone 3 minutes into the test. Not saying the test was wrong, but is there a compatibility issue with the Ultra and 45w charger?
Can anyone answer? Thanks in advance.
I have a 65w adapter and 5A cable. I use them to charge my S23 Ultra. It says "Super Fast Charging" only and not "Super Fast Charging 2.0." It has a pop-up blue color and not green, and almost like 2.0 in charging speed. Does that mean even if it doesn't say 2.0, it's actually SFC 2.0 and not the ordinary SFC? Thanks!
There are a few things that Samsung do to push you to use there chargers. I have a 100W charger yet because its not from Samsung directly it charges at a maximum of 25w not the full 45w. So frustrating... This only happenes on there phones.
I have 65w baseus with 5a cable and it says super fast 2.0 but according to accu battery I only get 30w of charging speed and then dropping fast to about 25w. It is the same with original Samsung charger ? Does anyone seen actually charging speed above 40w ?
@venox48
I have the Anker 735 that dose do sfc 2.0, max I've seen is 43W but only when the battery is around 20%
If the phone is hot from use the charging speed will slow down.
@@JohnSmith-ef8nr so when I can it is good to charge slowly ?
@@venox48
It's more important to keep the battery between 20 and 85% for long life.
What the tuberz aren't saying is.... It does not matter unless the phone does it..
You don't NEED a 45w charger for a phone that can ONLY charge...UP TO......25w.
also...at a certain point in the "super ultra mega fast" charging the phone STOPS ultra super mega fast charging and goes into a trickle charge....
But saying that, does not make a video great...
Lol
When using a 45 watt charger... did you notice a rise in the temperature of the charger and something in the device ? And is this normal or not ??
Thank you
I have the 45 wat charger purchest last year. So when I upgraded my phone. To the Galaxy s23 ultra in my opinion the 45wat charger is worth evert penny.❤ it. If you think about the assiores before get your next phone it doesn't come as a shock. This the way to have the best forward planning this the way to do it
Pov: you still ise the old 15w on your s23 ultra😂 (me)
Will 45w affects/shorten the battery life for long term?
No
45W charger will damage the battery more?
No
This shows samsung is still not using full 45 watt capablity with right optimization this 45 watt can charge the phonne in 45 to 50 min
I use a samsung wireless charger never plugged a charger in my 23 ultra also use it with my note 20 ultra just put it on charger over night
why no links tyo buy it ?
Oh snap just realised 😅
I use 25 W. The difference is so small and the less power the better for the warm when charging.
Please get a pop filter or use an EQ to low-cut your voice track.
This is such an old video. Chill I was recording in a hotel room. No word sherlock
sometimes to conmserve battery lifespan. I just use the 15w. Since i have all the time in the world.
Smart
Guys help. My s23 ultra battery keeps dropping even if I'm not using it. I leave my phone 70% before I go to sleep then, when I woke up it's 66 sometimes 65 %. Any thoughts?
Rogue App potentially
Thanks for that bro👏🏾👏🏾
You're welcome 😊
( nice video )
25 watt is best .
for overnight charging, don't need Super fast charging.
i also Turn OFF super fast in the phone.
i also have charge Limit set to 85 % in the Phone.
thus at the 45 minute mark 81 % is essentially
Fully charged at 81 % ,... 85 %
25 watt charger is half the price compared to 45 watt charger
the battery and 25 watt charger run Cooler,...Lower Heat .
I still think it's wrong that phone manufacturers are able to sell their handsets without the charger.
Fortunately I bought my Xperia I IV charger with the USB cable via eBay for £18 instead of the silly RRP £50 that Sony wanted
Exactly
Not worth it. Simple as that.
Thanks. As I'm looking at the fast charging as a gimmick and you have confirmed my thoughts that with current charging speeds I've never felt wanting for more. This video confirms that.
Does the a54 also gabe 45w?
Huh
