Samsung's First USB-C Charger (EP-TA800) Review: Goodbye AFC Hello PD

Floyd
June 19, 2019

The 25W charger that comes with the Samsung Galaxy S10 5G is Samsung's First USB-C Charger (EP-TA800). It supports USB PD and Programmable Power Supply (PPS) mode that reduces the power output if it feels that it could heat up the phone. Now let's put it to our test.

Using our ChargerLAB Power-Z FL001S USB tester, it shows that the charger only supports USB PD protocol. No other protocol (including Samsung's own AFC) is supported.

PDO information reveals it is capable of USB PD charging in fixed steps at 5V/3A and 9V/2.77A, and variable PPS steps at 3.3-5.9V/3A and 3.3-11V/2.75A. That means it is a USB PD 3.0 PPS charger.

Conclusion

Samsung's first USB-C Charger (EP-TA800) drops the tech giant's proprietary AFC protocol and embraces USB PD 3.0 PPS as its only supported fast charging protocol. It is obvious that future Samsung devices will stick to USB PD as its only supported fast charging protocol, just as Apple did.
