We’re counting down to the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S24 on January 17, and the latest rumors suggest that the company will introduce new charging technology alongside its upcoming S-series smartphones. Reliable leaker Roland Quandt (@ rquandt) claims that we will see two new chargers, although disappointingly it claims that the fastest of them will only max out at 50W.
Samsung Charger Duo 50W (fast charger with 2x USB-C cable) EP-T5020 incoming. And they will also have an updated 45W charger, EP-T4511 (the previous one is EP-T4510)January 4, 2024
The 50W charger, which Quandt says will include two fast-charging USB-C ports, would be Samsung’s fastest charger. He claims that the second charger is another 45W model that is an updated version of his existing charger for the Galaxy S23 Plus and Galaxy S23 Ultra.
However, if Samsung does indeed introduce new chargers at its Galaxy Unpacked event, it’s unlikely they will ship in the box with the new S24 phones.
As for the price of the Galaxy S24, for now we can only use the previous Samsung chargers, which cost from an additional $49.99 / £39 / AU$69.
Samsung ended its practice of including chargers in the box with new phones in 2021, when it launched its Galaxy S21, Galaxy S21 Plus, and Galaxy S21 Ultra. The move was implemented as part of the company’s efforts to reduce e-waste, and Samsung also stopped including accessories like headphones (Apple stopped shipping chargers with new iPhones starting with the iPhone 12 in 2020).
We’ll find out more about the rumored new chargers and everything else related to the Galaxy S24 series on January 17, so stay tuned to TechRadar for full coverage of the launch event.
