This Samsung 65W charger (EP-TA865) was certified by the Korean authorities back in September, but this is the first time we see in a photo. It supports USB Power Delivery at up to 20V and 3.25A, including Programmable Power Supply (PPS).
It’s powerful enough to be used with
laptops as well, provided they can be charged through their USB-C ports. But
it’s probably too overpowered for the Galaxy S21 flagships that will be
unveiled this Thursday – the S21 Ultra is rumored to support 45W charging, the
highest Samsung has gone yet (using the EP-TA845 adapter).
The Samsung Galaxy S21 and S21+ are not in
contention as they expected to top out at 25W. And in all three cases you’ll
have to provide your own power brick as the new S-series is expected to ship in
a barebones box.
There’s a chance that the Galaxy Note21
Ultra battery will be beefed up for 65W charging, but it’s too early to tell.
Or it’s possible that the rumors are wrong and the S21 Ultra will surpass its
predecessor – the S20 Ultra (45W) was faster than the Note20 Ultra, which was
limited to 25W, so it will be quite a jump for the upcoming Note. It’s quite
possible, in fact, as we already know that the S21 phones will upgrade reverse
wireless charging to 9W, double what the S and Note phones from 2020 achieved.
