(NewsNibs) - Ahead of the expected launch of the Galaxy S24 series on January 17, 2024, Samsung is reportedly planning to introduce two new chargers. The commercial availability of the Galaxy S24 series is slated for January 30, roughly two weeks after the announcement. In a significant shift from previous releases, these new chargers will be sold separately and not included with the upcoming Galaxy S24 smartphones. Information about the new products was disclosed by journalist Roland Quandt through a platform previously known as Twitter.
New Chargers Details Revealed
The two chargers in question include the Samsung Charger Duo, with the reference number EP-T5020, which features two USB-C ports and boasts a 50W capacity. This suggests a focus on versatility and efficiency in charging multiple devices. The second charger is an update of Samsung's existing 45W model, now numbered EP-T4511. This new iteration will replace the previous model EP-T4510, indicating an enhancement in the charger's capabilities.
Implications for Galaxy S24 Charging Specs
The release of these two chargers, particularly with their specified power capacities, has led to speculation that the Galaxy S24 may not support charging powers exceeding 65W. This aligns with the power specification of these new accessories and might hint at Samsung's strategy regarding charging efficiency and battery health preservation for its upcoming devices.
Samsung has yet to issue an official statement on the specifications and capabilities of the Galaxy S24 series or the newly teased chargers. Consumers eagerly await the January announcement for full details on the company's latest innovations in smartphone technology and accessory offerings.
