Is your s25 ultra actually getting a 45 watt charge

[S25 ultra user]

So I literally have searched hight and low called samsung checked your tube there are plenty of videos showing there phones charging amd charging times but what I don't see is a single video showing realte spects with either the input from the charger w a USB spec adapter or even real time charging specs 

So when I purchased my s25 ultra I purchased the oem 55watt fast charger from Samsung 

I also have 140 watt pd 3.1 Qualcomm QC 5.0 

And several 5 amp cords 

So the phone promises up to 45 watt charge but my phone won't exceed 19 watts I use the devcheck app I also have amphere which doesn't show amps but shows the same specs and you can do the amp math

So either  these phones aren't getting those specs or I have a lemon and before going through the return process I'd like clarity 

Side note it shows the time for full charge as normal shows 2.0 quick charge is active 

Repeat test w your 45 watt or higher charger single port use devcheck app and post your specs of your max watts received 

If the phones state they can get up to 45 w we should be getting more than half of that at these prices

"Plug and the charger" by charger I meant cable 😊

Thank you I've been wondering this i was on the phone with a samsung tech w remote access and he didn't even have that knowledge I wasn't even breaking 5wats while one the call w him w my battery at 80 which I found strange 

[S25 ultra user]

Yeah I heard this also yet on chat or call with a rep neither had knowledge of this which I found strange

I'll have to drain down my battery and than try it at less than 30 to verify thanks for telling me something samsung has otherwise been unable too 🤣

It's normal to be around 5W at 80%+ battery. All phones will drop power as battery level rises. It's a safety mechanism for all lithium ion batteries.

You'll get better answers to your questions from Gemini than going through a technical rep over the phone from Samsung.

[S25 ultra user]

Sad 🤣 just interesting you get much faster charging times goi.g from 0 to 30 than from 70 to 100 but thanks for the clarification 

[Joeeye]

The cable with the S25 Ultra is perfectly capable of charging the device at 45W. I've tested my own and it works on any of my 45W PD 2.0 chargers.

[Joeeye]

It's completely normal actually. You'll find all phones will typically do this. The nature of lithium ion batteries and nothing unexpected.

[S25 ultra user]

Yeah they said something about the included cable being a upgrade since it's a 25 watt cable interesting since it's not a 5amp thanks for clarifying

This was apparently posted 16 hrs ago although I think this isn't based on the understanding on how smart charging works
