Galaxy A series rumored to get 45W fast charging in 2025
Galaxy A56 is rumored to get 45W fast charging. The latest iteration of the Galaxy A series is likely to be unveiled in March 2025. While not much information about the upcoming Galaxy A56 has been confirmed so far, we are hearing some good news about the phone’s charging capacity. Samsung might finally get rid of the charging and replace it with something better.
Galaxy A56 gets 3C certificate with 45W charging support
According to the information, the unreleased Galaxy A56 5G smartphone with model number SM-A5660 cleared the mandatory China Compulsory Certificate (CCC) 3C certification. The listing suggests the device will have 45W fast charging support and it can charge at a maximum of 10V and 4.5A.
In comparison, the base variant of the Galaxy S24 only features 25W fast charging, So, the upcoming Galaxy A series phone can charge faster than even the Galaxy S24.
If the listing is true! The Galaxy A56 might be the first Galaxy A series phone to support Galaxy S24 Ultra and Plus’s 45W fast charging, and it will likely come to more Galaxy A series phones. While some Galaxy F and M mid-range Samsung smartphones have 45W charging.
Galaxy A56 specification
An early report predicted that Galaxy A56 equipped the Exynos 1580 processor that features an octa-core CPU with a Corex-A720 core clocked AT 2.9GHz, 3 Cortex-A720 cores clocked at 2.6GHz, and 4 Cortex-A520 cores running at 1.95GHz.
For the camera, the smartphone houses a 50MP primary lens, 12MP ultrawide sense, and a 5MP macro camera at the rear side. These further have an upgraded 12MP selfie camera for clean and clear facial shots.
For now, there isn’t much information about the Galaxy A56 but we could assume that the device will have substantial upgrades over its predecessor.
Earlier reports suggested that the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 would come with One UI 8 (Android 16). Now, just months ahead of its big Galaxy Unpacked launch event, Samsung is saying that One UI 8 will debut on Samsung’s newest foldable this summer.
According to the Samsung Newsroom, One UI 8 will debut on Samsung’s latest Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 foldables this summer and will gradually expand to more Galaxy devices so users can now enjoy a richer, more personalized mobile experience with the latest version of Android.
Samsung says: “Thanks to the mutual partnership between Samsung and Google, One UI 8 will debut on Samsung’s newest foldables this summer and will gradually expand to more Galaxy devices so users can now enjoy an enriched, more personalized mobile experience with the latest version of Android.”
Samsung officially released the beta version of One UI 8 on May 28, 2025 (today), marking the end of a rather long anticipatory period since Android 16’s official launch. This is when the One UI 8 beta program began for the Galaxy S25 series.
Samsung started the One UI 8 rollout for devices with a beta program. So yes, the One UI 8 beta has started with the Galaxy S25 series. All devices that are expected to get One UI 8 stable are also expected to get a beta program before that, which will help polish and finalize the update for that device. So keep an eye on the beta program for your device in anticipation of the stable update.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 has now appeared on Geekbench, which shows that the company is conducting pre-launch tests and preparations for its new device, alongside Galaxy Z Fold 7. The latest listing also solves the chipset mystery that has been in rumors for a long time.
Galaxy Z Flip 7 goes on Geekbench with Exynos 2500 chip and One UI 8
According to the listing, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 with model number SM-F766U achieved 2012 points on single-core and 7563 points on multi-core tests. Being a folding handset, all these things sound quite good. Still, the actual performance will only be known once the device officially hits the consumer market.
The device model uses 12GB RAM and is further coupled with Android 16 with One UI 8 operating system. It runs on an octa-core processor with a 1+2+5+2 CPU architecture. Judging from the structure, the upcoming foldable is likely to equip the Exynos 2500 chip.
Inputs reveal that the chipset is clocked at 1.80 GHz base frequency. It contains one 3.30 GHz core, two 2.75 GHz cores, five 2.36 GHz cores, and two 1.80 GHz cores. Other than the Geekbench listing, a few Twitter tipsters shared an alleged mobile information page revealing Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 runs on a Exynos 2500 chip.
The first edition of Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge Slim may be launched for limited quantities. The company is actively working on its first slim phone with ultra specifications and features. Meanwhile, a recent leak reveals the price of Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge for Korea.
Additionally, the Korean tech giant has teased the upcoming Galaxy S25 Edge to fans at Galaxy Unpacked and MWC 2025 but hasn’t revealed everything about the device just yet including price. Some reports have said that the Galaxy S25 Edge could be priced between the S25+ and S25 Ultra.
Galaxy S25 Edge Price
Now, a new report has revealed the exact launch price of the Galaxy S25 Edge for Korea. According to this new report, Samsung will sell the 512GB variant of the Galaxy S25 Edge in Korea for 1,630,000 won ($1,118) and the 265GB variant for 1,500,000 won ($1,029). For reference, the Galaxy S25 Ultra with 256GB storage costs 1,698,400 won ($1,165) in Korea, and the 512GB model costs 1,841,400 won ($1,263).
Furthermore, Financial News reports that Samsung is developing the first slim flagship phone, aiming for a limited initial release. According to it, Samsung will initially supply around 40,000 Galaxy S25 Edge units, and more will be produced following feedback. It suggests that the initial Galaxy S25 Edge launch will be very limited.
Apart from this, the report also reveals that after the formal announcement in April, this phone can hit the market in May. It is worth noting that Samsung sold 1 million Galaxy S25 units in Korea within the first 21 days of its launch. The initial batch of 40,000 units for the phone seems very small in comparison.
The Galaxy S25 Edge has a 6.6-inch display, and it reportedly has a 200-megapixel primary camera and an ultrawide lens but not a telephoto lens. The battery could be around 4000mAh with 25W charging support.
