One UI 6.1 has been released for the Galaxy S23 and other supported devices. The update introduces several enhancements, such as Galaxy AI. However, it seems that the latest update is limiting the charging speed, potentially causing inconvenience for many users.
Users Report Charging Speed Issues After One UI 6.1 Update on Galaxy S23 Devices
Currently, Samsung phones do not have high charging speeds, with the flagship models capping at 45W. The Galaxy S23 is capable of a maximum charging speed of 25 watts, but it has been reported that after the One UI 6.1 update, the charging speed has been reduced to 15W. A user has even shared a screenshot depicting the phone’s inability to charge at a higher speed.
A fellow Twitter user inquired about others experiencing a comparable problem following the installation of the One UI 6.1 update. It appears that individuals with Galaxy S23 devices are indeed encountering this issue, as their charging speed has been restricted to 15W or even lower at times.

Fortunately, it appears that this is not a hardware problem. It is common for software issues to arise, and once Samsung is made aware of the problem, a solution will be provided promptly. We are confident that Galaxy S23 users will be able to fully enjoy their devices in a timely manner.
It is important to mention that the problem seems to be affecting all users of the Galaxy S23, including those using the Ultra variant, which is capable of fast charging at 45W. However, due to the throttling, the charging speed is reduced to 15W. We are hopeful that Samsung will take action and release an update to resolve this issue, as even by their standards, 15W is considered slow. With the widespread occurrence of this issue, it is likely that Samsung will investigate and provide a solution soon. We must remain patient and wait for the release of the fix, which is expected to be included in the April security patch.
