SAMSUNG 45W USB-C Super Fast Charging Wall Charger - White (US Version with Warranty)

Purchased the 45w version with USB-C cable. For note, if you plug in a wireless charging stand to this plug (also using the USB-C cable that came with mine from Samsung) it will NOT even recognize fast charge. HOWEVER, I made some calculations using other chargers. For reference, only THIS charger will be the USB-C to USB-C charger (except for THIS charger, other chargers may use USB-A to USB-C to plug into phone). All tests will be done with the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, and were done at the 75% battery level mark (charging does seem to slow down as you get closer to 100%)Samsung 45W USB-C Super Fast Charger: 1.08% of the S22 Ultra in 1 minute (92 min for full 100% charge).15w USB Charger: 0.83%/minute (120 min for full charge).10w USB Charger: 0.65%/minute (153 min for full charge).7.5w Wireless Charging Station (no brand will be mentioned): 0.55%/minute (181 min for full charge).While the 45w charging may not seem like much of an upgrade, compare it to the 15w Fast charger I bought for my S9+, it charges 0.83% per minute. Doing the math it means that you can have your phone fully charged, with this charger, in 92 minutes (that's 30% faster than the 15w charger).More information: I only had the magnetic USB-A to Magnet cables, the use of these magnetic cables were the same charge times as their non-magnetic (plug directly into the phone) counterparts. THIS charger will ONLY take the USB-C to USB-C cable, but you may be able to use any brand cable, with this charger and receive comparable results.Having tried other brands, their notions of 'super-fast' doesn't mean that it will charge your S22 Ultra 'super fast.' I can't attest to other brands, but I can say that this Samsung 45w charger is legit and your S22 Ultra will see it as "super fast 2.0"I'll update this review when I get my phone to a lower battery charge.Hope this helps anyone else out there who wanted to see the actual real (non-marketed) benefits of these 45w chargers.* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *EDIT: I tested from a lower battery power of 7-8% charge on the above devices and also added a Magnetic USB-C to USB-C Charger (brand will not be named, but has a 60w/3a rating) as well as a receptacle/outlet that has USB-C chargers included (brand also will not be named, but carries a 30w rating)** 7.5w and 10w wireless chargers came out pretty close with 0.54-56% charge/minute(est 176-184 minutes to fully charge from 0% to 100%)** 60w/3a magnetic charging cable plugged into Samsung 45w charger: 1.43% charge/min(est 70 minutes to fully charge from 0% to 100%)30w/15a receptacle with Samsung USB cable (incl w/charger) plugged direct to outlet: 1.10% charge/min(est 90 minutes to fully charge from 0% to 100%)** Samsung cable w/Samsung 45w charger (reg wall receptacle or special): 1.63% charge/min(est 61 minutes to fully charge from 0% to 100%)

True to size

Some reviewers have commented that this is either fake, or charges no faster than the original 25w, or that it's just a regular fast charger because their phones said only "fast charging." That last bit was a programming decision and at least for my note10+, a recent software update brought back all the charging speed indicators. Now, a regular ol' 15-18w Qualcomm QC2/3 charger says "fast charging," the 25w PPS charger says "Super Fast Charging," and this 45w PPS charger says "Super Fast Charging 2.0." I have measured up to 34 watts being drawn by the note 10+ but rarely, pretty much only if the phone is almost dead. In those situations it's a lifesaver, 0% to 1000% on this 45W charger always seems to complete before I end up wanting to use it again.All that said, I didn't purchase this for fast charging. I use it with a USB-C PD/PPS pass through compatible hub with gbit ethernet, HDMI, SD/μSD, and a couple of USB3 type A ports. I've been told that the hub uses up to 11w or so if I'm using a significant fraction of the 1Gbps and I believe it must be at least that as it's always very warm (the hub). This 45W PPS/PD charger, on the other hand, runs super-cool all the time. It'll get a bit warm between 35-45w, but it isn't noticeable.All in all, great charger and a decent price. Glad I bought it. It'll probably be another Galaxy generation or two before they have batteries that can be charged at 45w safely, for now I am glad that Samsung limits the peak current draw to 25-35 watts. The note10+ already gets very warm at 35watts, I don't know why I'd want to sacrifice charge cycle durability just to have a phone that charges 180% as fast and catches fire in the process. 25-35w peak to the phone whether the USB multimeter is connected between phone and charger or between hub and phone is what I expected and it's what I got.

Using it for years now without any issues

So short story dog chewed my original note 10+ charger a week after owning it, I bought this one and a generic USB c to USB c charger at Walmart, I used my old block to test the cords, they both charged at the same rate, the one from Walmart charged the slowest 20% to full in over an hour and half , Samsung 20-100 in about 1hr 20 ish minutes, this one currently using after a full day of work and using my audio and phone calls, went from 30 percent to 60 in less than 30 minutes, full charge will be aout an hour. So buyers gamble I guess from the other results, it worked for me as a suitable replacement and use. I'd buy another if I didn't already buy 3 different chargers for a quick replacement while this was on order.

** Updated** Picked this up for my S22Ultra which supports fast charging, I gained about 10 minutes from 20% to 100% so it does charge faster. Is it worth the extra money from a 25 watt to a 45 watt? I really don't think so, I'm hoping there's a software Fix ( allow the battery to charge faster ) that can be implemented down the road. If this is purely hardware than it is No. If they have a charge controller they can tweak to increase the charge the battery accepts then it may be worth the extra. I'll update if I see improvement.*** Update*** So I got the newest update for my S22Ultra and also did a few reboots after loading up my programs. I don't know which set it up but My phone is charging about 35-40% faster with this vs the standard Samsung Charger. from 18% - full ( Not using it ) in 58 minutes. very happy with the Charger.

The product is great, I recommend it.
