Samsung power adapters and the PPS trap.

Galaxy fast charging has one requirement most chargers miss: PPS. A 100W adapter without it charges an S25 Ultra slower than Samsung's own 25W brick. Here's how to get it right.

The two adapters that matter

  • 45W

    Samsung 45W Power Adapter (EP-T4510)

    Unlocks Super Fast Charging 2.0 on Galaxy S Ultra, S+ and Tab S series — 0–65% in about 30 minutes.

    Samsung 25W Power Adapter (EP-T2510)

    The right-size choice for base Galaxy S and A-series phones, which cap at 25W anyway.

    Anker 47W Nano 3 (PPS)

    Third-party adapter that actually triggers Super Fast Charging 2.0 — verify the PPS 3.3–21V/2.25A+ profile.

25W vs 45W: does your Galaxy support it?

Why PPS matters: Super Fast Charging uses Programmable Power Supply, a PD extension that lets the phone request voltage in 20mV steps so conversion happens in the adapter, not as heat in your phone. Standard PD chargers without PPS fall back to 15W on a Galaxy — the most common cause of "my new 65W charger is slow" complaints. Full detail in the PD & PPS guide.

Buying third-party? The listing must state "PPS" and ideally "Super Fast Charging 2.0". "45W PD" alone is not enough.

Reading a Galaxy-ready PPS profile

Samsung's own 45W brick publishes PD 3.0: 5V/3A, 9V/3A, 15V/3A, 20V/2.25A; PPS: 3.3–21V/2.1A. That last line is the whole ball game: an S25 Ultra requests a PPS operating point in the high-teens of volts during its fast phase, and only an adapter whose programmable range spans that point delivers 45W. A charger advertising "45W PD" with no PPS row tops out at 15W on the same phone. The 25W brick carries a narrower 3.3–11V PPS range, which is all a base S25 or a Z Flip can use anyway — buying 45W for those phones adds headroom for a tablet, not speed for the phone. Background on the mechanism is in PPS explained, and the wattage classes themselves are broken out at 25W and 45W.

Third-party is fine here as long as the profile is printed. Anker and UGREEN both publish full PPS tables on their Galaxy-capable units; the store brands frequently do not. Device-specific picks: Galaxy S25, Galaxy S24, Galaxy Tab. Rankings live at best Samsung chargers, the two bricks go head-to-head at 45W vs 25W and 25W vs 45W for Samsung phones, and individual units are dissected in the 45W review and the 25W review.

FAQ

Will an Apple 20W charger work on a Samsung phone?

Yes, safely, at standard PD speed (about 15–18W). It won't trigger Super Fast Charging because it lacks PPS.

Does the Samsung 45W adapter charge non-Samsung devices?

Yes — it's a standards-compliant PD 3.0 charger, good for iPads, Pixels, Nintendo Switch and small laptops at up to 45W.

Do I need Samsung's own cable?

You need a 5A-rated (e-marked) USB-C cable for 45W. Samsung's included cable qualifies; any certified 100W cable also works.
