In February, Samsung launched the new flagship series, Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+, and Galaxy S23 Ultra with new features. On the other side, other companies like OnePlus, Oppo, and Xiaomi are working on developments to offer higher wireless charging rates, such as 50W, charging fully in around 30 minutes.

PhoneArena has tested the wireless charging speeds of Samsung’s flagship phones and Apple’s latest flagship devices. Although the S23 Ultra and the S22 Ultra have the same battery capacity and charging speed, there are differences between the results. While both phones were charged with Samsung’s 15W wireless charger (EP-P2400), S23 Ultra got a bad result compared to S22 Ultra.
According to the list, the S23 Ultra charges fully in 2 hours 37 minutes with 15W wireless charging, while the S22 Ultra charges fully in 1 hour 58 minutes with the same charging. Compared to other models, the slowest device is the Ultra version, even the 14 Pro is faster than the S23 Ultra.
