Samsung may soon launch two new fast chargers for Galaxy devices. The company is readying an updated 45W power adapter and a 50W dual-charger. Neither of these charging solutions will ship bundled with the Galaxy S24 series, though. The Korean firm stopped providing chargers in the retail box long back. They might be available as a separate purchase alongside the new flagships, which debut on January 17.
Samsung could release two new fast charges alongside the Galaxy S24
According to reliable X tipster Roldan Quandt, Samsung’s upcoming 50W dual-charger has the model number EP-T5020. Aptly called the Charger Duo, it can simultaneously fast charge two Galaxy devices via USB-C at up to 50W speed. Unfortunately, the company’s smartphones don’t go beyond 45W charging speed. The Galaxy S24 flagships top out at 45W too, with the base model limited to just 25W charging.
If you plan to grab the Galaxy S24+ or Galaxy S24 Ultra and don’t already have a 45W charger at home, Samsung reportedly has a new 45W power brick in the pipeline. It bears the model number EP-T4511 and appears to be an updated version of the existing solution (EP-T4510). It is unclear how the new charger will differ from the current one. Whether Samsung has upgraded the internals, we’ll know once it arrives on the market.
Considering the imminent developments in the coming weeks, the Korean behemoth could start selling the new chargers alongside the Galaxy S24 lineup. We don’t have confirmation but that would be a logical move. However, as said earlier, you won’t get either of them in the box. The retail box will contain the phone, a USB-C cable, a SIM ejector pin, and some paperwork. That’s about it.
While Samsung hasn’t announced the release date for the Galaxy S24 trio, rumors say the new flagships will go on sale on January 30. Pre-orders will begin in most markets, including the US, on the launch day itself. The grand unveiling of the trio will take place in San Jose on January 17 at 10 AM PT/6 PM GMT. Due to the time difference, the event falls in the early hours of January 18 in some eastern countries, including Samsung’s homeland South Korea.
You can watch the launch event live
Depending on where you live, the kick-off time of the Galaxy S24 launch event will vary. However, the event will be streamed live globally on Samsung’s official YouTube channel and website. The company is offering a $50 credit if you reserve the new phones ahead of launch. The credit will be redeemable while purchasing accessories once you pre-order a Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24+, or Galaxy S24 Ultra. You can make your reservation from here.
