Intro: The Samsung S26 Ships Without a Charger

The Samsung S26 is a powerful phone, but as usual the box comes without a charger. The question we always get is: "Do I buy the original Samsung charger, or grab the Anker 45W?" (Samsung charger prices in the market vary by seller)

In this review on CairoVolt, we compare on manufacturer specs and CairoVolt bench data for the Anker Nano 45W: we measured a Galaxy S24 Ultra on it at Super Fast Charging 2.0 with a peak of about 43.6W.

🔥 About Heat: GaN allows a smaller charger at the same wattage, but real heat varies by model and load. Keep the charger and phone ventilated during fast charging — heat is what affects long-term battery health.

The Breakdown: Why the Anker Nano 45W is the Smart Choice

1. Real Super Fast Charging via PPS — Not a Fake 45W Label

Many brands claim 45W but lack PPS, so your Galaxy shows the standard green Super Fast Charging ring instead of unlocking its real ceiling. The Anker Nano supports PPS, so it delivers each S26 model's true speed: the Galaxy S26+ hits its full 45W (Super Fast Charging 2.0, the blue ring), the base Galaxy S26 reaches its 25W maximum (it caps at 25W — a 45W charger won't push it past that or turn the ring blue), and the S26 Ultra charges fast up to 45W though its own peak is 60W (Super Fast Charging 3.0) — Samsung says 60W takes it up to 75% in around 30 minutes, so a 45W charger runs below that peak. Details in the truth about S26 Ultra 45W charging.

2. Remarkably Small

The Samsung 45W brick is fairly large. The Anker Nano 45W is noticeably smaller — you can easily drop it in your pocket. Tech has evolved, and size no longer dictates power.

3. Protecting an Expensive Phone

When buying a phone at this tier, don't cut corners on the wall brick. Anker's MultiProtect system continuously monitors temperature to keep your S26 safe during overnight charging.

Final Verdict 💡

Our recommendation: save the cost of the official Samsung accessory and buy the Anker Nano 45W (EGP 790) with a 5A USB-C cable that has an e-Marker chip, such as the Anker A82E2 cable, from a trusted store that gives you an invoice and a written warranty, like CairoVolt — it runs the same 45W Super Fast Charging 2.0 on the S26+, covered by CairoVolt's written store warranty (duration shown on each product page).

Frequently Asked Questions

Anker 45W or the original Samsung charger?▼
The Anker Nano 45W is more compact and costs EGP 790, and it supports the PPS that unlocks Super Fast Charging 2.0: 45W on the S26+ and 25W (its maximum) on the base S26. The Ultra peaks at 60W with a PPS charger, so a 45W charger runs it below that peak.
Does any Type-C cable work for 45W?▼
No. 45W Super Fast Charging 2.0 needs a USB-C to USB-C cable rated 5A with an e-Marker chip; a cable without an e-Marker is limited to 3A. At CairoVolt: the Anker A82E2 or the Anker Zolo A8060 (both 240W).
Does a 45W charger charge the base S26 faster than a 25W charger?▼
No. The base Galaxy S26 tops out at 25W, and a 45W charger will not push it past that. If you only have the base S26, a 25W charger with PPS such as the Anker A2656 (EGP 550) is enough.
Does the Anker Nano 45W charge the S26 Ultra at full speed?▼
No. Samsung lists 60W Super Fast Charging 3.0 for the S26 Ultra and says it reaches up to 75% in around 30 minutes with it. The Anker Nano 45W runs Super Fast Charging 2.0 (45W), which is below the Ultra's peak. For top speed you need a 60W or higher PPS charger.
