so I finally bit the bullet and got the s26 plus but of course it didn't come with a brick which is just so annoying especially for how much this thing costs. I'm leaving for a trip to Chicago this Friday so I need to buy something today and I'm totally stuck.
I was looking at the official Samsung 45w charger vs the Anker 313 Ace. My logic was that the Samsung one is the safest bet but it's like 50 bucks and the Best Buy near me is sold out. The Anker is way cheaper and smaller for my bag but I keep seeing people say it doesn't always hit the Super Fast Charging 2.0 speeds. Should I just pay the premium for the official one or is there a better 3rd party option I'm missing? I really don't want to spend more than 45 dollars if I can help it...

Building on the earlier suggestion, make sure to double check your cable. If it isnt 5A rated, you wont hit top speeds. I would suggest the UGREEN Nexode 45W GaN Charger instead.

I'm really happy with the Anker 313 Charger 45W Ace.
- hits max speeds
- super portable It works well for trips and I've had no complaints!

Just caught this thread. @Reply #1 - good point! Honestly, the secret is checking the PPS specs for that 11V/4.05A profile. Most people miss that. In my experience, the Spigen ArcStation Pro 45W GaN Wall Charger is the real MVP. It handles the 2.0 charging perfectly and stays way cooler than the official brick. Plus its usually under 35 bucks so it fits your budget perfectly, imo. Samsung's prices are kinda wild these days.
