Power-up fast: The best chargers for Samsung smartphones in 2024

It’s hard to argue with the sheer quality of this charging pad. That’s no surprise, given that it’s actually a Samsung product. As a compact and sleek pad, it’ll look great on any desk or bedside table without taking up too much room. We appreciate the safety aspects here too, as not only do you get an effective built-in cooling system, but also a host of features like overheat protection, object interference, and even humidity detection.

It has a 15w fast charge feature for compatible phones, and of course, it’s wireless charging for maximum convenience  - it’ll support all Qi-certified devices too. A handy LED light will tell you whether it's charging or charged as well. All in all, we think this is a solid and reliable device for any Samsung smartphone that supports wireless charging.

If you want fast charging in a small yet affordable package, we think this TEYASI Samsung Fast Charger Plug has 25 watts of power for compatible phones. And the compatibility list is huge as this will intelligently detect the right charge for the attached phone. Plus its standard 1-metre USB-C cable means it’ll plug into a wide variety of phones and devices - not just Samsung.

But, if your phone can support it, what can 25-watt fast charging do for you? Well, you can expect to charge your phone three times faster than with a normal charger. And at this price, who could resist saving lots of time in the bargain?

Here, Samsung has provided a truly compact fast charger designed for the frequent traveller. It has the usual popup top main pin so that the adapter takes up less space in your bag or pocket. Best of all, it comes packing 25 watts of charging power - that means less waiting around in hotel rooms and the like while you top up your device.

And we're happy to see that the legendary Samsung design and build is still at play here, this will be able to take the knocks and scrapes that tend to happen while you're out on your adventures.

There’s nothing better than simply placing your phone onto a simple wireless charging pad. As long as your smartphone supports wireless charging (the standard for the vast majority of phones is Qi-certification) then you’re good to go. Aside from its refined looks that will suit any desk or side table, it can deliver up to 10 watts of power to a wide range of devices. 

Best of all, this one is powerful enough to still charge your phone inside a case - as long as it’s no thicker than 5mm. So, you really can choose your phone case and not worry about this charger doing the job.

For those smartphone users who can take advantage of super-fast charging, this official Samsung Galaxy charger has a massive 45 watts to dish out. It’ll reduce your recharge time to minutes rather than hours and is simple to use. Just plug it in and let it do its thing.

As this is a wired charger, it comes with a 1.8-meter USB-C cable - so for anyone who misses the fact that Samsung doesn’t provide a charger with its phones anymore, this is ideal. We do, though, find this a little chunkier than other plugs and protrudes from the wall a little more, so if your socket area is a little cramped you may need to make extra room.

For us, the key feature of any wireless charging stand is the ease and flexibility of use. And this one from INIU allows you to place your phone in landscape or portrait mode while charging. That means you can use this as an alarm clock by your bed, or on your desk to keep an eye on it while you work. We also love the premium, professional look of this charger.

Power-wise, you have 15 watts of fast charging at your disposal, and there’s a small LED that will let you know when it’s charging. For those using this in a bedroom, we love that it auto-dims at night too. Lastly, as this isn’t a magnetic mount charger (despite its looks), it will detect foreign objects or obstructions like phone cases so you can ensure nothing is getting in the way of your recharge.

If you’ve invested in a new Samsung Flip smartphone you’ll be used to the convenience of being able to keep it folded. But, when it is in its smaller form, it still looks great with a usable display on the front - so why spoil it with a high-backed stand that’s too large? Well, for us, this SwanScout wireless charging stand not only looks great but complements the Z Flip perfectly. It even folds from stand to pad for flexibility.

We particularly like the extensive safety features here, too – with battery protection, overcurrent and overheating protection and more. That said, some users find the LED a little bright for use in dark rooms, so perhaps this won't suit your bedroom. But, other than that, you can keep an eye on that 10 watts of fast charging as it happens, and see those essential notifications. In many ways, this seems like a natural extension of the Z Flip design for a minimalist look.

Sometimes you need to carry extra power when you’re out and about. A power bank is the go-to device for this of course, but this one from INUI is a little different. Firstly, it’s a fast charger with 22.5 watts of power to juice up your smartphone and other USB-C devices. Secondly, it’s very slim and light compared to most others, so it’ll slip into a coat or bag without getting in the way.

We love the build and design too. A clear display will show you how much charge is left - and the 10000mA capacity can last for days or weeks. And when you do need to top the power bank up, it’ll only take 3 hours using a fast charge adapter – but the included USB-C cable is a little short, so if you need more space between this and your device you'll need a different cable. There’s even a little torch built-in, so if you’re off-grid it’s there to light your way in a pinch.

There's nothing worse than climbing into your car and then fiddling around with a charging cable or clumsy stand. This phone holder for your car from Auckly is a 15w wonder – able to wirelessly charge your Samsung smartphone while you drive. We also love the overall design which looks very smart and should complement any car interior. There's a handy side-mounted LED light to let you know what it's doing at a glance.

Although the 'eagle beak' style vent clip is highly compatible with the majority of vehicles, we do think that this could have included an optional suction clamp for those who prefer a different position. That said, it does have a brilliant automatic clamping feature when the phone is placed in the cradle – a quick button press releases it when you reach your destination. Effective and practical, we love it.

For anyone who really loves their Samsung gadgets (and wants to charge them all in one place) this Phelinta Wireless Charging Station is the perfect desktop addition. We particularly like the overall design here, keeping your phone front and centre while your watch and earbuds tuck away at the back. The handy clock and status display also make this a great desk or bedside accessory, it's safe too - with a lot of protection features.

However, we note that the overall charging speed will be reduced if several devices are charging at once, so bear this in mind if you're in a hurry. But, overall, we love the practicality of having all of your Samsung kit charged at once. It's a steal at this price, too.
