Jumping in here because I went through this exact search last month. If you want that Super Fast Charging 2.0 badge on your S26 Plus, you specifically need a PPS (Programmable Power Supply) charger that hits 45W. Most standard PD bricks only do 25W on Samsungs because they lack the right voltage range. I've been super happy with these budget picks:

• Anker 313 Charger Ace 45W PPS is basically the gold standard and usually under $25. Its tiny for travel.
• Ugreen Nexode 45W Dual USB C GaN works well if you need to charge buds at the same time. No complaints at all with the heat. Check out the site ChargerLAB if you want to see the deep dive teardowns and actual power curves. Theyre my go-to for technical specs. Also, keep an eye on Slickdeals since these go on sale constantly. Youll definitely save some cash compared to the official Samsung one.

tbh i was super paranoid about using a third-party brick and frying my battery so i just went with the official Samsung 45W USB-C Fast Charging Wall Charger. i found it on sale for like thirty bucks recently which is a total steal. honestly it works perfectly and i dont have to worry about compatibility issues or the phone getting too hot. if you really want to save some cash and still feel safe, i had a good experience with the Belkin BoostCharge Pro Dual USB-C GaN Wall Charger with PPS 45W. i trust belkin because they usually have that connected equipment warranty thing which gives me peace of mind when im traveling and using weird hotel outlets. no complaints so far, it charges my s26 plus just as fast as the official one. just make sure you use a 5A cable or you wont actually hit the max speed regardless of the brick you buy... learned that the hard way lol.

Adding my two cents here... i would suggest being a bit more cautious than just grabbing the smallest brick you see. One thing people usually forget is the cable. You can buy the best 45W PPS brick in the world, but if your cable isnt rated for 5A, you wont ever see those Super Fast Charging 2.0 speeds. Most standard cables are only 3A, which will cap you at 25W even on a 100W charger. Kind of a bummer when you are in a rush at the airport. I would probably consider the Belkin BoostCharge Pro 45W Dual USB-C GaN Wall Charger with PPS over some of the super budget brands mentioned. Its built like a tank and handles heat much better than the tiny nano-style ones in my experience, which is better for the long-term health of your S26 Plus. Just make sure to grab a Cable Matters USB-C to USB-C Cable 5A 100W to go with it. You really dont want to risk a cheap cable failing while you are traveling. Let me know if you need help finding a specific link before you head out!

Building on the earlier suggestion, i spent my afternoon geekin out over the power delivery curves for the S26 series! To hit that 45W sweet spot you need a brick that supports the 4.05A or 5A PPS range. Its amazing how much tech they pack into these tiny GaN units now! Heres a quick comparison of my favorites for under $40:

• Spigen ArcStation Pro 45W GaN Charger

Pros: Tiny and stays super cool. Fully supports SFC 2.0.
Cons: Single port only.

• Baseus 65W GaN5 Pro Wall Charger

Pros: High energy density! Three ports so you can juice up your S26 Plus and a laptop together.
Cons: A bit long, might sag in loose airport outlets. Dont forget a 5A rated cable! A standard 3A cable caps charging at 25W even with a 100W brick... super annoying but easy to fix! Let me know if you need cable recommendations too!
