Do You Need a 45W Charger for the Galaxy S26 Ultra? (2026)
Samsung's flagships support 45W Super Fast Charging 2.0 — but only with the right adapter and cable. Here's what you need.

Galaxy phones don't include a charger in the box. The Galaxy S26 Ultra and S26+ support Super Fast Charging 2.0 at up to 45W — but you only get it with a compatible adapter and a 5A cable.
25W vs 45W
- 25W is the standard Samsung fast charger and works with every recent Galaxy phone.
- 45W charges supported models noticeably faster in the first part of the charge — useful when you need a quick top-up before leaving.
What you need for 45W
- A 45W USB-C PD/PPS adapter — such as the Samsung 45W Power Adapter
- A 5A USB-C to USB-C cable — the Samsung 45W adapter includes one
Is it worth it?
If you own a Galaxy S26 Ultra or S26+, yes — the 45W adapter is the fastest way to charge it, and it also fast-charges laptops and tablets over USB-C. For the standard Galaxy S26, a 25W charger is enough.
You can get the genuine Samsung 45W adapter in our outlet, open box at half the official price — and the Galaxy S26 Ultra itself too.
