Moving up from an S21 and need faster charging. Current phone is way too slow. Deciding between the official Samsung 45W brick and the Anker 715 Nano. Budget is around $50. Which one actually hits max speeds on the S26 Plus without overheating?
Look, I’ve spent 25 years in a shop. You don't use a 3/8 drive when you need a 1/2 inch impact. Same logic applies to your electronics. If you want 45W speeds, you need the right hardware specs, not just a high number on the box. Listen, the S26 Plus relies on a protocol called PPS (Programmable Power Supply). This allows the charger to adjust voltage in small increments. This reduces heat. Heat is the enemy of any power cell. If the charger doesn't support the specific PPS profile for Samsung, it will throttle down to 25W or lower. Here is the breakdown for your setup:
