With all the commotion surround the
release of the new Galaxy S20 series and Galaxy Z Flip, Samsung managed to
sneak in several accessories to accompany its new phones. Alongside the usual
array of cases, Samsung introduced two 10,000mAh power banks as well as a 45W
dual car charger. The first powerbank comes with a Qi wireless charging pad,
which can top up devices up to 7.5W speeds alongside two Type-C ports which can
output up to 25 watts via USB PD.
The second power bank lacks the wireless
charging capabilities and comes with a USB-A interface instead of one of the
USB-C ports, but the max theoretical output is 25W per port. Presumably, that's
only achievable over the USB-C port over the Power Delivery standard. The
wireless version will go for US$ 80 while there are still no pricing details on
the regular one. Both are expected to be on sale alongside the S20 phones in
March.
The new 45W Dual car charger comes with a
type-C port that can output 45W and a USB-A one that outputs 15W. Samsung is
also quick to remind users that the S20 Ultra 5G and the Galaxy Note10+ are the
only devices in its portfolio that support the 45W charging speeds. Another
important note is that you’ll also need to have a 5A cable around to top up at
max speeds.
