How to Use Samsung Super Fast Charging: Which Charger Do You Need?
Samsung Galaxy's fast charging can be confusing — different models support different speeds. Here's a clear breakdown of which charger you need.
Samsung Fast Charging Tiers
| Standard | Max Wattage | Compatible Charger Needed |
|---|---|---|
| Adaptive Fast Charge | 15W | Samsung 15W USB-A adapter |
| Super Fast Charging | 25W | Samsung 25W USB-C adapter |
| Super Fast Charging 2.0 | 45W | Samsung 45W USB-C adapter + 5A cable |
Which Galaxy Models Support What?
| Model | Max Charging Speed |
|---|---|
| Galaxy S25 | 25W Super Fast |
| Galaxy S25+ | 45W Super Fast 2.0 |
| Galaxy S25 Ultra | 45W Super Fast 2.0 |
| Galaxy A55 | 25W Super Fast |
| Galaxy Z Flip 7 | 25W Super Fast |
| Galaxy Z Fold 7 | 25W Super Fast |
Important: The Cable Matters Too
- 25W charging requires a standard USB-C cable (3A rated)
- 45W charging requires a 5A rated USB-C cable — the cable in the box is usually a 3A cable which limits you to 25W even with a 45W charger
Third-Party Chargers
USB-PD and USB-PD 3.1 chargers work with Galaxy, but Samsung's proprietary Adaptive Fast Charge is only fully activated with Samsung chargers. Anker, Belkin, and UGREEN make compatible PD chargers that charge at near-Samsung speeds.
What's Included in the Box?
Starting from Galaxy S23 series, Samsung does NOT include a charger in the box — you need to purchase separately.
