Hey everyone! I just picked up the new Samsung Galaxy A55, but since it doesn't come with a power brick in the box, I'm a bit lost on what to buy. I know the phone supports 25W fast charging, but I've heard that not every charger will actually trigger the Super Fast Charging status.

I'm specifically looking for something reliable that supports the PPS protocol for the best efficiency. Should I just stick with the official Samsung 25W wall adapter, or are there third-party brands like Anker that work just as well for this model?

Does anyone have a specific charger recommendation that provides the fastest, most stable speeds for the A55?

In my experience, picking the right brick for the A55 is crucial because samsung is super picky about the PPS protocol. i totally get the frustration... it's lowkey annoying that they don't include one in the box anymore. basically, if u want that Super Fast Charging notification to actually pop up, u gotta make sure the charger explicitly supports PPS at 25W or higher. i've tested a few different ones and honestly, u don't need to spend a ton of money to get the best speeds. for your situation, i would suggest these options which are way more budget-friendly than buying from a retail store:

  • Samsung 25W USB-C Wall Charger EP-TA800 - this is the official one. it's super reliable and i've seen it on sale for like $14.99 recently, though it usually retails around $19.99. it's the safest bet for stability.
  • Anker 312 Charger Ace 25W - this is what i actually use daily. it's super tiny, foldable, and supports PPS perfectly. u can usually snag it for about $12.99 on amazon. tbh it feels just as fast as the official one and it's a bit cheaper.
  • UGREEN Nexode 30W USB C GaN Charger - another solid pick for around $16. it uses GaN tech so it stays really cool during use. imo, if u wanna save the most money, go with the Anker 312 Charger Ace 25W. it triggers the 25W super fast charging every single time. just make sure ur using the cable that came with the phone and u'll be good to go. hope that helps... gl!

Hmm, I've had a different experience. It's annoying they're missing, but PD 3.0 is a universal standard because:

  • Specs are fixed
  • Chips are cheap

Generic PPS blocks work AMAZINGLY!!
