The battle for fastest charging speeds in the smartphone arena is heating up. And Samsung is making moves to stay competitive. While some rivals boast charging speeds exceeding 100W, Samsung’s current offerings max out at 45W for its flagship models. However, reports suggest the Korean tech giant is preparing to unleash two new chargers. It could significantly boost its fast-charging game.

While Samsung hasn’t officially confirmed these new chargers, speculations point towards a January 17th launch alongside the highly anticipated Samsung Galaxy S24 series.
