Samsung’s Galaxy S23 series passes 3C regulations

Samsung is pushing the development of the Galaxy S23 Ultra, the phone has 3C approval as of September 22nd. The leak appeared on Weibo, a Chinese social media network. Aside from the SM-S918 model number and the fact that the regulator tested the device with his EP-TA800 wall charger at 25W, the phone doesn't reveal much about the phone.

3C Application has also confirmed that the Galaxy S23 Ultra will be manufactured in Thai Nguyen, Vietnam. This is not surprising given that Samsung makes most of its smartphones in Vietnam, which has an annual production capacity of around 120 million units.

The mention of the EP-TA800 charger doesn't say much about the phone's battery specs. Samsung no longer ships smartphones that include a wall charger (with a few exceptions). The Galaxy S23 Ultra is no exception.

However, Samsung is working on a new wireless charging pad or charging hub, and the model number will be his EP-P9500. Although not spotted by the 3C, the company plans to announce and release this new charging hub at his Unpacked next year, allowing Galaxy S23 customers to wirelessly charge their smartphones, earbuds and smartwatches at the same time.
