Samsung's 65W USB-C charger (EP-TA865) was certified by the Korean authorities last September, but only now have its photos leaked into the air. It supports the USB-PD (Power Delivery) standard up to 20 V and 3,25 A, including the PPS (Programmable Power Supply) standard.

The charger has enough power to charge even laptops, provided they allow charging via a USB-C port. However, it is probably too powerful for the series phones Galaxy S21 - model S21Ultra it will reportedly support fast charging with 20W less power (using the EP-TA845 charger).

As for the S21 and S21+ models, they should support 25W fast charging. In all three cases, the customer may have to buy a charger separately, as according to unofficial reports, Samsung is considering not bundling it with the phones, following Apple's example.

There is a chance that a smartphone will be ready for 65W charging Galaxy Note 21 Ultra, however, it is still very early to say for sure at this point. Or it is possible that the "behind the scenes" reports are wrong and the S21 Ultra will surpass its predecessor - S20Ultra (45 W) was faster than Notes 20 Ultra (25 W), so it will be quite a leap for the next Note.

In any case, Samsung should add in this area, as 65W+ charging is fast becoming mainstream, and some manufacturers (eg Xiaomi or Oppo) are soon going to "come out" with smartphones supporting super-fast charging with almost twice the power.
