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 1500 EGP original Samsung charger, or grab the Anker 45W?"
In this review on CairoVolt, we put these chargers through practical testing to give you a clear answer based on real performance.
🔥 The Heat Advantage: GaN II chargers like the Anker Nano are known to run cooler than older silicon bricks during fast charging — a real advantage for your phone battery's long-term 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).
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 with an original cable from an authorized site like CairoVolt — comparable performance (and cooler), a better price, and a replacement warranty.
