Samsung’s upcoming entry‑level flagship, the Galaxy S27, appears headed for a modest charging upgrade. Recent filings from UL Solutions (Demko) in Denmark confirm the device will stick with the same 25W wired charging speed seen since 2020. The certificates (DK‑187425‑UL and DK‑187435‑UL) list regional SM‑S952 variants for the US, Europe, Japan and South Korea, all rated at 9V DC and 2.77A—roughly 25W.
This lack of progress is notable as Chinese rivals already offer charging speeds two to three times faster. Meanwhile, other members of the S27 family may outpace the base model: 3C listings hint that the Galaxy S27 Plus could hit 45W, while the Pro and Ultra might reach up to 60W. Samsung could offset the slower base charging with better power efficiency, especially if the standard model uses the Exynos 2700 in most markets and a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 version in the US.
The latest certifications do not reveal wireless‑charging rates or battery capacity, and Samsung has not officially announced the line. If the 25W ceiling holds through launch, consumers may wait another year for Samsung to catch up. The focus now shifts to whether the efficiency gains from the new chipset can extend battery life enough to compensate for the unchanged wired speed.
