Samsung Galaxy S22+ and S22 Ultra's 45W charging doesn't really make a difference

Samsung’s Galaxy S22 series finally brought an increase in charging speeds after being left in the dust by most Chinese competitors. The two larger members of the new Galaxies S22 lineup claimed to offer 45W wired charging speeds while the vanilla S22 retained the 25W of its predecessor.
