The launch of the Samsung Galaxy S24 series is months away. The South Korean brand traditionally presents its flagship S-series lineup in February each year. The next-generation Galaxy S24 series has already been featured in leaks and rumors in the past. Back in April, we reported that Samsung’s upcoming flagships will feature improved batteries thanks to technology inspired by electric cars. Now, RGcloudS has reported the charging speed of the Galaxy S24 series.
The current generation Samsung Galaxy S23+ and S23 Ultra support 45W charging speeds, while the standard S23 is limited to 25W. The South Korean brand did not increase the charging speed a little more. In fact, 45W speed support was first introduced on the Galaxy Note 10+ in 2019.
According to a previous report, Samsung will use the multi-layer battery charging technology of the Galaxy S24 series in electric cars. Simply put, it’s a way to increase the overall capacity of a battery without changing its physical size. The feature will reportedly be limited to the S24+ and S24 Ultra. Both phones are expected to be powered by a 5,000mAh cell. Multi-layer battery technology will offer support for faster charging speeds, potentially reaching a maximum output of 65W. This represents a 20W increase over the current 45W on the Galaxy S23+ and Ultra variants. The S24 Ultra also has a cooling gel to dissipate heat.
Unfortunately, the Samsung Galaxy S23 will not be able to increase the charging speed. This is because the company has not yet started testing multi-layer battery technology and production capacity may not be enough. The leak also reveals that Apple’s upcoming iPhone 15 series will use multi-layer battery technology.
