Samsung has come to the forefront in the fast charging war by introducing today a pair of new C-type power controllers. The SE8A and MM101 are both integrated into an eFlash feature allowing for updates. firmware day. Both controllers also provide up to 100 watts of power (20V / 5A). The SE8A contains an additional security feature called Secure Element, making it the first PD controller to offer an extra level of security. The MM101 can detect moisture that could stop the charging process in situations where the user could receive a fatal shock. It also supports the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) for product authentication. Both chips have "surge protection".
With the new PD controllers inside a phone, authorized chargers will be able to communicate with a handset to get through the "optimal amount" of juice in order to make sure that the battery is charged with the most efficient way possible. The 100W charging capacity compares with the Galaxy S10's 15W fast-charge capacity and the 25W off-the-shelf Galaxy A range of Sammy's Galaxy A and the Galaxy S10 5G. Although Samsung did not reveal any estimated charge statistics when it was announced, Xiaomi did it earlier this year by unveiling its own 100W technology called "Super Charge Turbo". The Chinese manufacturer said its system could charge a 4000mAh battery from 0% to 50% in just seven minutes and take that same battery from 0% to 100% in just 17 minutes.
We could see a 100W charger that came with the Samsung Galaxy Note 10
Samsung also points out that with a 100W charger, a smartphone user carrying a laptop, tablet or monitor can use the same adapter. This will allow someone on the road to take away less props. It's not such a big problem overall, but every little thing helps you when you have to leave home to do your homework.
"In addition to smarter features and larger batteries, innovative charging solutions are enabling us today to do more with our mobile devices, and this trend is for power adapters that can quickly charge all devices." guaranteeing protection against unauthorized access are increasingly in demand Samsung: MM101 power delivery and enhanced SE8A security will not only make charging faster and safer, but will also allow new services likely to enrich the mobile experience of tomorrow. "- Ben K. Hur, Senior Vice President Marketing System LSI, Samsung Electronics
Samsung says the MM101 is currently in the sampling phase while the SE8A is in mass production. That means we could eventually see a fast 100 Watt charge available for the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 or another high-end device released by the manufacturer later this year.
Samsung will soon offer a fast charge of 100W
Other companies have stepped up their fast charge game and Apple is expected to join them. Instead of the 5W chargers included with Apple when buying an iPhone, some speculate that it will change these power adapters for the same 18W chargers shipped with the iPad Pro. Currently, iPhone users have to pay $ 50 to buy the 18W adapter on the Apple Store. The recently launched OnePlus 7 Pro incorporates the same Warp Charge 30 quick charge system as the OnePlus 6T McLaren Edition. With the Warp Charge 30, the 4000mAh battery of the latest model will charge nearly 50% in just 20 minutes. The Oppo SuperVOOC charge at 50W and the Huawei Mate X foldable will be equipped with a 55W fast charger.
The combination of higher capacity batteries and faster charging systems is definitely an advantage for experienced users. Most smartphones spend a whole day without charge, and when the time comes to plug in your device, a decent amount of power is restored in minutes with the help of a fast charge system .
