The truth you need to know about super fast charging technology that Samsung equips Galaxy Note 10+

Fast charging is a technology that is quite popular on today’s smartphones, but super-fast charging is something quite new. During last night’s event, Samsung unveiled the Galaxy Note 10 and Note 10+ duo, accompanied by Superfast Charge 45W super-fast charging technology.

Sounds pretty appealing right? When the Galaxy S10 and Galaxy Note 9 only support 15W charger. Therefore, Superfast Charge 45W charging technology is considered a very attractive feature and attracts users. However there are facts that you need to know about this super fast charging technology.

Galaxy Note 10 and Note 10+ only come with 25W charger

Samsung’s new smartphone duo will only be sold with a standard 25W charger. Therefore, if you want to use super fast charging technology, you will need to buy a new charger. Although the price hasn’t been disclosed yet, the previous leaked information said the price of the Superfast Charge 45W charger could be about $ 50.

Superfast Charge 45W only supports Galaxy Note 10+

According to Samsung’s announcement in the specs table, only Galaxy Note 10+ will support Superfast Charge 45W charging technology, and Galaxy Note 10 won’t. It seems that this is a business strategy for users to choose the more expensive Galaxy Note 10+ version?

Actually there is a reason for Samsung to discriminate against Note 10. That’s because the Note 10 has only 3500 mAh battery, while the Note 10+ has a 4,300 mAh battery. For fast charging technology, not just a powered charger, but also a battery that must be able to withstand a larger current. The bigger the battery, the easier and safer when charging fast.

Superfast Charge 45W supports compatible 3rd party chargers

As mentioned above, the Galaxy Note Note 10+ only comes with a standard 25W charger. To be able to use super fast charger, you’ll need to buy an extra charger that supports Superfast Charge 45W. Currently, Samsung also has a support charger posted on the official website, in black and white, but the price has not been disclosed.

It is interesting that you do not need to use the correct charger from Samsung. Both models Galaxy Note 10 support USB Power Delivery standard, which means you can use a fast charger of 3rd party if compatible. Anker, for example, has a 60W USB-PD charger for $ 55, although it is 60W but will not detonate your Galaxy Note 10+.

How much is 45W faster than 25W?

This is a question that many people will care about, before deciding to spend money to buy a new charger. In theory, the 45W charger will have about 80% faster charging speed than Samsung’s standard 25W charger. However, it is not true.

Because smartphone batteries will only receive power up to the maximum capacity from the charger when running out of power or low power. When the battery is full, the charging capacity begins to decrease to ensure safety. For example, the Huawei P30 Pro comes with a 40W charger, but when the battery is full, the charging speed drops to the equivalent of a 10W charger.

Although not yet answered, Samsung confirmed that the Galaxy Note 10+ (4G version) can be operated all day with only 30 minutes of charging with a standard 25W charger. And in the hands-on video, the Galaxy Note 10 has about 15% battery life and it says “56 minutes until the battery is full”. To charge from 0 – 100% in just about an hour was quite impressive.

Does super fast charger damage the battery of Galaxy Note 10+?

The life of lithium-ion batteries is still a problem that researchers cannot solve. And the faster the battery is charged, the shorter its life expectancy than usual. However, one thing is quite certain, which is the Superfast Charge 45W charging technology that won’t cause the Note 10+ to explode like the previous Note7.

That’s because Note 10+ has a very large size, enough room for a 4,300 mAh battery. This is also the largest battery in all Galaxy Note series so far, so it is easy to handle larger currents.

However, if you want the battery life to last longer or have a habit of regularly charging your phone overnight, you may want to avoid using fast and faithful chargers with the standard charger included with it. box.
