- Some Galaxy S25 Plus and S25 Ultra owners have reported charging problems.
- A few phones are unable to charge or charge very slowly via 5A cables.
- A regional Samsung account confirmed the problem and noted that a solution comes through a software update.
Some Users on Reddit and Samsung Fellowship (H/T: Tarun Vats on Twitter) reports that the Galaxy S25 Plus and S25 Ultra phones either charge slowly or sometimes fail to charge.
Affected users have reported these charging problems when using Samsung’s official 45W charger and third -party chargers. The problem mainly appears to occur when using a 5A charging cable, including Samsung’s own 5A cord. What is particularly interesting is that a few users noted that these cables worked just fine on other Samsung phones.
Why do these Galaxy S25 phones have charging problems?
Anyway, Samsung Italy Noted the problem on Twitter and said it was aware of a problem when you added the phone with a 5A cable. The account claimed that this problem would be resolved in a future update. Struggling with this problem? Then a solution is to switch to a 3A cable, such as the cable gathered with the S25 Plus and S25 Ultra. Some users have also disabled the super fast charging option and reported that their phones could then charge via a 5A cable. Meanwhile, other users have tried to switch to slower chargers, with mixed results.
For what it is worth, many users online have also noted that their S25 Plus and S25 Ultra phones charge just fine when using 5A cables. It does not mean that it is not a big problem, but it suggests that this does not affect all phones.
We have contacted Samsung for more information and will update the article accordingly. Either way, this is not something you want to see on the $ 1,300 phone, so we hope a solution will come very soon.
