Galaxy S25 Ultra Simplifies 45W Charging. Samsung has made charging easier and faster with the Galaxy S25 Plus and S25 Ultra. The new smartphones feature a simplified 45W Super Fast Charging 2.0 system that no longer requires a special 5A charging cable to achieve maximum speeds.
What’s New in Super Fast Charging 2.0?
- New Charging Profile: The Galaxy S25 series uses a 15V and 3A charging profile instead of the older 10V and 4.5A setup.
- No 5A Cable Needed: You can now use any standard USB PD cable that supports 45W charging, eliminating the need for a 5A cable.
- Faster Charging: Despite the same 45W max speed, tests show the S25 Ultra and S25 Plus charge faster than their predecessors.
How Does This Benefit Users?
The shift to a 15V 3A charging profile is a small but significant change. It simplifies the charging process by allowing users to achieve 45W Super Fast Charging without needing a special 5A cable. This means you can use most high-quality USB-C cables that support 45W power delivery.
User Feedback: Mixed Reactions
While the new charging system is designed to be more convenient, user feedback has been mixed:
- Some users report that 45W charging works perfectly with a 3A cable.
- Others claim that achieving maximum speeds still requires a 5A cable and a 45W power adapter, especially for optimal performance with PPS (Programmable Power Supply) support.
