Samsung has launched its new 60W Power Adapter in the Indian market, after it was introduced last year. Designed to charge a wide range of devices—including smartphones, laptops, and audio earbuds—the adapter is engineered to consolidate everyday charging requirements into a single, energy-efficient unit for both home and travel use.
Advanced GaN Technology and Compact Design
The new charger is built using Gallium Nitride (GaN) technology, replacing traditional, bulkier silicon components. This material shift allows for a significantly smaller form factor while maintaining high power efficiency.
The GaN construction enables the adapter to operate at cooler temperatures, lowering the risk of overheating and reducing energy loss during operation. According to the manufacturer, these thermal management improvements contribute to a longer overall product lifespan compared to standard adapters.
Power Management and Sustainability
The adapter incorporates features designed to lower energy consumption and reduce environmental impact:
- Low Standby Power: The device consumes only 0.005W of power when plugged into an outlet without an actively charging device attached, cutting down on passive electricity waste without requiring users to unplug the unit.
- Recycled Materials: The construction of the adapter incorporates 20% recycled materials, a metric certified by Underwriters Laboratories (UL).
Smart Charging
To manage power delivery across a diverse ecosystem of devices, the 60W adapter features USB Power Delivery (PD) 3.1 combined with Programmable Power Supply (PPS) support.
PPS technology actively monitors and adjusts the voltage and current in real-time based on the specific needs of the connected device. By delivering only the precise amount of power required, the adapter optimizes charging speeds, limits excess heat generation, and helps maintain long-term battery health.
In terms of charging speed metrics, the 60W output can charge the newly released Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra up to 75% in 30 minutes.
Pricing and availability
The Samsung 60W Power Adapter is priced at Rs. 3,499 and is available from Samsung.com, Amazon, Flipkart, and select retail stores in India.
