Despite the absence of a charger in the box, all models are compatible with the universal USB Power Delivery PPS standard, allowing for a wide selection of third-party charging solutions. The series also maintains wireless charging capabilities across the board, with a standard 15W Qi wireless charging and 4.5W reverse wireless charging, suggesting a consistent and user-friendly charging experience across the range.
Performance and Expectations
In terms of battery capacity, the Galaxy S24 starts with a 4,000mAh battery, the S24 Plus with a 4,900mAh battery, and the S24 Ultra remains at 5,000mAh.
The charging strategy of Samsung, while not the fastest in the industry, aims to balance speed with battery longevity, employing thermal management improvements to enhance charging efficiency without compromising the battery’s lifespan.
Compared to its predecessors and competitors, the Galaxy S24 series aims to deliver reliable all-day battery life with charging speeds that, while conservative, are designed to meet the needs of most users without pushing the limits of charging technology.
