The best chargers to correctly fast charge the Samsung Galaxy S22

With no charger in the box and a brand new set of charging specifications, picking the best plug to power your Samsung Galaxy S22 is probably the last thing you want to do after unboxing your new phone. But it needn’t be a headache. Whether you’re reusing an old plug or buying a new one, there are plenty of chargers on the market to suit your needs.

Here at Android Authority, we’ve tested many chargers and assembled the perfect collection to fast charge your new smartphone. Here’s everything you need to know to pick the best Galaxy S22 charger.

What you need to know about Samsung Galaxy S22 charging

When it comes to the Galaxy S22 series, Samsung now has two tiers of fast charging. The standard Galaxy S22 maxes out at 25W wired at 15W wireless. Meanwhile, the Galaxy S22 Plus and S22 Ultra support up to 45W wired and the same 15W wireless capabilities.

To max out the phones’ charging potential, Samsung states you’ll want to use its first-party power adapters. However, Samsung’s charging technology is based on the USB Implementers Forum’s USB Power Delivery specification. It’s the USB PD PPS protocol, to be exact, an increasingly popular technology across devices and third-party charging products. So long as you pick a charger with this protocol that can provide enough power, you will be covered.

When it comes to wireless power, Samsung’s Galaxy S22 series all use the popular third-party Qi specification. This makes them compatible with a wide range of first- and third-party wireless charging products.

With all that in mind, here are the products that qualify as the best Samsung Galaxy S22 chargers money can buy.

The best Samsung Galaxy S22 chargers

Samsung 45W SuperFast Charging 2.0 Travel Adapter

Samsung recommends its Super Fast Charging 2.0 45W travel adapter to quickly charge the Galaxy S22 Plus and S22 Ultra, and it’s hard to argue with the official line here. With 45W of power and USB Power Delivery PPS onboard, this product will charge all recent Galaxy flagship smartphones at full speed without issue.

Samsung’s charger isn’t a super cheap option, but it’s become increasingly competitive with third-party options in recent months. It’s now regularly discounted below $40, often closer to $30, which is a deal you’ll struggle to beat.

Samsung 25W SuperFast Charging Travel Adapter

Are you rocking the standard Samsung Galaxy S22? You don’t need 45W for that one. A 25W charger will do, and Sammy has its own Samsung 25W SuperFast Charging Travel Adapter. It costs less than the 45W version and can charge the base Galaxy S22 at full speed.

That said, we like recommending the 45W charger because it allows you to future-proof yourself. Maybe you’ll want to upgrade to one of the other Samsung Galaxy S22 variants later, or any other phone with fast-charging capabilities. You can also use a 45W charger to more quickly juice up tablets and other more power-hungry devices.

That said, the Samsung 25W SuperFast Charging Travel Adapter covers the basics and will charge the Galaxy S22 as fast as it can handle. All while staying within Samsung’s protective arms.

Anker 713 Nano II 45W

Anker earns a second entry into your recommendations with its Anker 713 Nano II adapter, which perfectly meets the required USB PD PPS standard for the Galaxy S22 series. Better still, it comes in various power options to perfectly suit your latest purchase. We recommend the 45W version, as it can power all Samsung Galaxy S22 devices at full speed.

It’s super tiny, and the price usually sits under $30, which is a nice deal for a charger with this much power. The company also provides an 18-month warranty.

If you have the base Galaxy S22 and don’t want to future-proof yourself, you can also go for the Anker 711 Nano II, which is the same charger, but with 30W charging speeds. Alternatively, you can also upgrade to the Anker 715 Nano II charger, which can juice up devices at 65W. The latter will be a great option if you want to use the charger with other tablets or laptops.

Elecjet 45W Super Fast Charger

The Elecjet 45W USB-C Super Fast Charger is also worth considering if you don’t fancy going down the first-party route. With USB PD PPS and a selection of legacy standards onboard, this plug has you well covered for a huge selection of gadgets, in addition to the Galaxy S22 series. It’s also reasonably priced, with a tag set at around $40.

The best Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra multi-port chargers

Anker 735 Nano II 65W

The Anker 735 Nano II is more than you’ll need to charge any Galaxy S22 on its own, and it’s always good to be able to charge multiple gadgets at once. With two USB-C ports boasting PPS capabilities and a single USB-A port.

It has room to supply up to 65W if you’re only charging a single device over USB-C. If you’re using all ports, the first USB-C port will max out at 40W, while the second tops off at 12W. The USB-A connection would supply 12W, in this case.

The accessory is also relatively small and portable for a three-port charger. It has a $49.99 MSRP, but you can often find it at a discount.

Elecjet X21 GaN Pro Fast Charger

With 65W of power split across up to three ports, plus USB PD PPS and a host of other legacy protocols, the Elecjet X21 GaN Pro Fast Charger is a one-stop shop for smartphones, laptops, and other gadgets. Although you do sacrifice peak speed when charging multiple devices. It’s priced at $39.99, making it a very affordable option for high-power, fast charging that won’t set you back much more than a standard charger. However, it’s not as compact as some of the other options on our list.

The best wireless chargers for the Samsung Galaxy S22

Samsung SmartThings Station

If you want to charge your Galaxy S22 series device at full 15W, your best bet is to go with a Samsung wireless charger, and this is one of the best Samsung Galaxy S22 chargers for multiple reasons.

For starters, it can handle the 15W top speeds the Galaxy S22 series is limited to. You just need to make sure you’re using a 25W charger with it. It also has an active cooling fan to keep your device fresh while charging. This also ensures your Galaxy S22 is charging at higher speeds for longer, as charging slows down if the device heats up too much.

That’s only half the fun, though. The Samsung SmartThings Station also works as a Matter-capable SmartThigns hub. You can connect your smart home appliances and control them with it. Additionally, it has a button that can be programmed to perform different actions for short-, long-, and double-presses.

It’s a neat accessory if you’re into smart home tech. If you aren’t, though, you can opt for the more affordable Samsung Wireless Charger Fast Charge Pad and be happy with just fast wireless charging.

Samsung 15W Wireless Charger Duo

If you’re big into Samsung’s ecosystem, then the Samsung 15W Wireless Charger Duo should be on your radar. It offers 15W charging, plenty for the Galaxy S22 series. What you’re buying is a single pad designed to charge your smartphone or tablet, and smartwatch together wirelessly.

In addition, Samsung’s dual-charging pad includes a wired plug and charging status LEDs. Again, Samsung’s first-party products are a little expensive at $89.99 MSRP, but you can usually find the Pad Duo for less.

Those who want three charging areas can also opt for the Samsung Wireless Charger Trio.

Samsung Super Fast 25W Portable Wireless Charger

This one is special, and we tend to recommend it often for Samsung users, but it works if you own other Qi-compatible phones, too. The Samsung Super Fast 25W Portable Wireless Charger is both a portable battery pack and a wireless charger.

It holds a 10,000mAh battery and features a wireless charging pad. The only bad news is that it can only charge wirelessly at up to 7.5W, which is half the capacity the Galaxy S22 series can handle. You can take it anywhere, though! This means it matters less how long it takes to juice your phone app, as you can just continue using it wherever you go.

If you’re in a rush, though, you can plug in and reach 25W wired speeds. That is enough to charge the standard Galaxy S22 at full speed.
