While budget smartphones generally require less power to charge than their flagship siblings, the upcoming Samsung Galaxy A56 is set to change that by delivering faster charging capabilities compared to the Galaxy S25, as confirmed by the FCC.
According to a report from GSMArena, a leaked FCC document reveals that the Galaxy A56 will support 45-watt charging. This is based on a screenshot showing the device is rated for 10 volts at 4.5 amps, which equates to 45W of charging power.
The inclusion of 45W charging for the Galaxy A56 is particularly noteworthy, given it shares a battery size of 5,000mAh with its predecessor, the Galaxy A55, which only supported 25W charging. In contrast, the base model of the Galaxy S25 provides 25W charging with a smaller 4,000mAh battery, whereas the S25 Plus and S25 Ultra models are expected to offer faster 45W charging with their 5,000mAh batteries.
Even with the A56’s enhanced charging capabilities, it’s important to note that having a higher wattage doesn’t always translate to significantly faster charging times. For example, while the Galaxy S24 Ultra charges fully in approximately one hour and five minutes, the Galaxy A55 takes about an hour and 25 minutes to achieve a full charge. Thus, the difference in charging time between the Galaxy A56 and the S25 models may be minimal, despite all supporting 45W capabilities.
The Galaxy S25 series is scheduled for a launch on February 7. Although Samsung has yet to confirm the Galaxy A56’s release, it is anticipated to debut sometime in the first half of the year, shortly following the flagship S-series launch.
