There are thousands of chargers on the market today, each with different capabilities. To sufficiently charge the new "flags" of Samsung Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23 + whether Galaxy S23Ultra of course you need a charger with a certain power. Here's everything you need to know about chargers for the range Galaxy S23 to know.
In recent years, it has become common practice for many smartphone manufacturers not to include a charger with their new devices. Unfortunately, Samsung is among them. He and other manufacturers defend this practice by trying to reduce the amount of plastic and thus save the planet, but it is evident that they are mainly trying to save money.

Users must therefore find and purchase their own charger, either from the manufacturer itself or from a third-party supplier. These suppliers offer a variety of models, with some being much better than others. In addition, you also need to find out how much "juice" yours Galaxy S23 really needs it. There is a threshold where too little power does nothing for you, or rather your phone, and too much power is a waste. It is therefore crucial that you find a threshold that will suit your needs.

How much energy do I need?
In terms of power requirements, the S23 with its 3900mAh battery requires the least power, while the S23 Ultra with its 5000mAh battery requires the most. The "plus" model is equipped with a battery with a capacity of 4700 mAh.

The base model can only handle a maximum of 25W "fast" charging, while its siblings can charge at 45W. So this means you'll need a 23W charging adapter for the S25, and a 23W one for the S23+ and S45 Ultra.
Honestly, it doesn't really matter if you get a 23W or a 23W charger for the S25+ and S45 Ultra, as the charge times differ by only minutes (with the 25W charger, expect a full charge for both in around an hour and a few minutes, with the 45W less than an hour). In this area, Samsung has long-term reserves - competing (especially Chinese) devices can be fully charged in 15 minutes or less.

Which charger should I buy?
Then there's the question of the right cable. If you pair a 10W USB-C cable with a 45W charger, your phone will only charge at 10W, not 45W. So always make sure you buy a cable with the same wattage as the charger.

As we mentioned at the beginning, there are a huge number of chargers on the market. However, our selection is quite limited. For Galaxy We can recommend the classic S23 25W Samsung charger and for Galaxy S23+ and Galaxy S23 Ultra classic 45W charger.
10W cable? The cables are distinguished by the max. current. By default, the cable can push 3A to more, you need a 5A cable, which the charger will tell you.
For 45W charging, for example, 15V and 3A can be used. But with Samsung at 45W, I guess it uses a lower voltage but a higher current, which needs a cable for 5A, therefore a regular cable is not enough
Thanks for the info
Yes, for 45W charging Samsung needs a cable with 5A certification, this usually means a 100W label and mainly a charger supporting the PPS standard, without that you are at 15W
The difference between 25w and 45w is huge at lower percentages of charge.
Oh yeah, that's another article from an expert. If the charger will be purchased from a third-party manufacturer. You need to know the charging capacity, not just the power. There are chargers that give 9V, 10V, 12V, 20V etc... And then the required current for the given voltage. Which will give performance. What voltage chargers does it support? Galaxy S23, +, and ultra? I would expect it to be mentioned in the article. But it can be seen that the author does not understand it at all! And he just steals the text of the manufacturer or someone else!
I also have peace of mind that I went to Mironet and bought an original charger. And as everyone still criticizes Samsung for weak current and slow chargers, a colleague who mocked me for charging his phone in 20 minutes and me in 2 hours, today, after a year and a half, charges his phone 3 times a day and wants to buy a Samsung.
