Hi! I just upgraded to the S24 Ultra and noticed that all my chargers are only 15W, so I’m thinking of getting a new one.
I’m curious if the 45W charger is a better investment than the standard 25W.
I’ve seen some videos on it, but I wasn’t impressed with the 45W charger. I’d love to hear your thoughts.
If the price difference is minimal, it makes sense to choose a 45W+ PPS (Programmable Power Supply) charged over a standard USB PD (Power Delivery) charger. Many reputable brands like Anker, UGreen, Satechi, and Baseus offer affordable, compact GaN chargers with foldable prongs that support PPS. Opting for a charger higher than 45W and pairing it with a 100W 5-amp cable can future-proof your setup for USB PD charging on various devices.
However, if you’re looking for something cost-effective, especially for international travel, a standard Power Delivery charger might suffice. For example, I recommended a charger to my brother that goes up to 30W and lacks PPS. He found it worked well, and since the difference in charging speeds between 25W and 45W on Samsung devices is minimal, spending extra for faster charging may not be worth it.
Given that you only need to charge your phone and haven’t had issues with the Galaxy Buds 2, a basic Samsung 25W or 45W charger should be sufficient. There’s no need for a higher-wattage charger with multiple ports if you don’t have other devices requiring fast charging.
IMO no. There’s only like a 10min difference from the 25W in a 0-100 race. I’d rather have one of the multiport 100W or better chargers from Anker/Ugreen. They’re more useful as they can charge more stuff at a time and can even be used for laptops.
True, a 25W charger can still make a big difference for a quick charge. It’s worth keeping in mind for those moments when you need a fast boost. 
I have the Samsung adapter trio (15W over USB A, 25W over USB C and 45W over USB C) and I can say that I feel somewhat of a difference (45W compared with 25W).
If you already have 25W I don’t think you’d be impressed, but if you have something smaller, then you’ll feel some improvement.
I only have 15W chargers and was deciding between the standard Samsung 25W and 45W chargers. The price difference is significant here—on my country’s Samsung site, the 25W (EP-T2510NBEGEU) is around €17, while the 45W (EP-T4511XBEGEU) costs about €45. That’s quite a big difference.
In that case get 25w. The 45w is only useful if you only have 5-15min to charge and need fastest possible charge in that timespan. On longer than 30min charges it averages out with 25w.
Does the 45W charger come with a 2-meter 5A cable? In my country, it does. The Samsung 45W charger needs the 5A cable to operate at 45W PPS charging.
