Samsung's Galaxy A58 charges no faster than its predecessor

Samsung's Galaxy A58 tops out at the same charging speed as the phone it replaces, so anyone hoping for a faster refill will not get one.

Samsung's new Galaxy A58 does not charge any faster than the model before it. Android Authority reports that the phone's peak charging rate is unchanged from the previous generation. If a quicker refill was on your wish list for a newer mid-priced Samsung phone, this one may not deliver.

What changed

On charging speed, nothing. The top rate matches the earlier Galaxy A model. Android Authority also says the A58 beats the base Galaxy S27 in one area, though the material available here does not say which one.

Who it affects

The A series is Samsung's lower-priced line. The S series, which includes the Galaxy S27, is its flagship line. So the A58 is aimed at people who want a Samsung phone without paying flagship prices. For those buyers, charging speed is a practical thing to check, since it decides how long the phone sits on the cord.

What is not known yet

The material does not give the A58's actual charging number, its price or its release date. It also does not explain the one area where the phone beats the base S27. The full Android Authority article was not available, so those details are still missing.

What to do

If you own the previous Galaxy A model, charging alone is not a reason to upgrade. If you are shopping, compare the full specs once Samsung and reviewers publish them.

The takeaway

The Galaxy A58 charges no faster than the last Galaxy A phone, so do not upgrade for charging speed alone.
