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

So I did as instructed I still haven't broken 30 wats on my 55 wat 5amp w 5 amp cord 

I posted a article also that stated that this is resolved but using your included 3amp 25 watt cable I can attest that's not true 

I've even tried my pd3.1 5amp 140 watt charger 

So what I've noticed is it won't pull 45 watts at c 5amp but what it will do is push 20 to 30 amp at nearly 8amp perhaps the extra amps being able to force more charge compensates for the watts w the safeguards 

I don't think my phone will ever reflect 45 watts despite what charger or cable i use but it appears to be charging as designed

You'll only get 45W charge speed at 0 to around 30% battery levels. Anything higher and it will drop to 35W and lower as the battery % rises. It won't charge the whole way at 45W. In fact reaching 45W during charge is a first for any Samsung device I've seen so far.

Yup I've been noticing that just misleading if I see something saying my phone cam use a 45 watt charger and my phone can charge at 45 watts I'd expect I'd see that my phone tho even purchased in January for pre release only has the security update for dec 2024 not sure when I'll get the Feb security update and if it'll include the rumored charging fixes they have articles about

It's just marketing ploy since they made few noticeable changes in infrastructure of the s25 ultra 

There add supports 45 watt fast charging 

Reality will support the use of a 45 watt fast charger but will respectively give you 20 watts 😭

Definitely see the potential of a false advertisement class action that'll get us no where and maybe make us 50$ richer on our 1500 investment im gonna cry if the the new fold has noticeable improvements on the 25 and it's predecessor

Nothing misleading really, people are just not always in the know about the technical side of technology.

Anker 45w charger and matching cable is what i got for my s23 along with a 30w charger to never buy cheap chargers or cables
