stoked for the s26 but need a charger fast!! torn between the official samsung stand and the anker 3-in-1...
is the official one actually faster for this model or is the anker gonna be just as good?
I would suggest sticking with the Samsung 15W Wireless Charger Stand EP-N5200. You should be careful with third-party brands because they dont always hit the top speeds on Galaxy devices. Make sure to use the official wall adapter to prevent overheating. Staying with official accessories is much safer for your battery health in the long run, so i would suggest avoiding generic stuff.
Building on the earlier suggestion, I would suggest being extremely careful with those generic 3-in-1 stations. Many of them claim high speeds but actually throttle down to 5W as soon as you put a second device on the mount. If you need it by next Tuesday, I have had good luck with these:
Building on the earlier suggestion, I've spent basically way too much time obsessing over voltage curves and thermal throttling on these Galaxy devices! Honestly, I remember testing my old setup with a power meter and seeing the speeds tank just because the alignment was off by a few millimeters. It was so frustrating. For the S26, you really want to look at the new Qi2 tech because it solves that alignment issue perfectly with magnets.
