Charging speed of Samsung’s Galaxy S25 and S25 Plus has been revealed. The company will bring its new flagship phones in early next year. However, Galaxy fans won’t witness any upgrades in terms of battery capacity and charging speed.
Recently, the 3C listing of the Galaxy S25 and S25 Plus confirmed the charging speed. The certification authority listed Samsung’s SM-S9360 and SM-9310. The former supports up to 45W (15V, 3A) and the latter supports 25W (9V, 2.77A).
Galaxy S25 Ultra, which hasn’t yet popped up on 3C, will also support 45W charging. The battery capacity of Samsung’s next trio won’t be increased. Earlier leaks didn’t reveal the mAh upgrade in the battery of S25, S25 Plus, and S25 Ultra.
Samsung is sticking with 45W charging on its flagship phones. This year, select mid-range phones offered support for 45W charging. However, the company isn’t going beyond 45W – but for good – as product reliability must be in priority.
Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 will power the next Galaxy flagships. The chipset is being manufactured on TSMC’s 3nm process node. The smaller chip size is expected to offer a marginal improvement in efficiency and consumption.
The Korean tech giant is also developing Exynos 2500 SoC. However, the chipset is unlikely to come out due to the low yield rate at Samsung Foundry. We may see the S23 series like a Snapdragon-only processor strategy next year.
Samsung phones getting Android Cross-device services as Google pushes wider rollout. It’s the latest attempt to nourish cross-device interaction capabilities. Now, your Samsung Galaxy is also supported to run the newly added features.
A new report suggests that Samsung devices getting Android Cross-device features. Google initially pushed the update at the end of May this year. Now, the company is expanding the new feature suite to a broader audience.
You can access the features through Settings app > Google > All services tab > Devices & sharing > Cross-device services. For the first time, you have to set up the device group through the Google Account for effortless access in the future.
Android 11 and newer devices support new Cross-device service functions. Call casting is one of the most exciting features within the suite. It will “move calls between this device and other nearby devices signed in to your Google Account.”
9to5Google reported that Call casting is currently available for Google Meet. However, the Internet Sharing (Instant hotspot) feature isn’t arriving on Galaxies. This feature shares hotspot access between your Android devices without a password.
Do note that the rollout is taking place sequentially. Therefore, the availability may vary by model, region, and carrier. We advise you to update Google Play Services to the 24.35.30 version, which is said to include the new features.
