Every year, it seems like smartphone charging speeds get faster and faster. As battery sizes ramped up from 1,000mAh — which was very common 10 years ago — to a norm of 5,000mAh for phones like the Galaxy S23 Ultra, it made sense that charging speed would need to increase so it didn't take half a day to charge your phone.
So why is Samsung still so far behind the pack when it seems to lead in so many other areas? Even the best USB-C chargers will still take over an hour and a half to charge your Galaxy S23 Ultra battery from empty to full, while most Chinese phone brands advertise a maximum of 20 minutes for a full charge.
